On the 28th of August, Colin was taken into hospital with chest pains at around 6:30pm, after calling an ambulance whilst being at his caravan with his wife, Andreya.

Upon the ambulance arriving, tests were taken but they couldn't find any issues. So, they decided to take him to hospital. Once they arrived at hospital they committed to doing more tests...

At 1AM, the following morning - 29th August 2018, Colin was told that he only had a few hours left to live, this came as a huge shock to all whom knew as not long earlier he was laughing with his close friends. This came as devestating news to himself, his wife and other family and friends.

A few hours later, at 8:15am, Colin was pronounced dead. The reasons of his death are as follows:

Ischemic Bowel Disease

Ischemic Heart Disease

Diabetes

This was strange for people who knew him as not even Colin himself knew that he had any issues like these, the only issue which he was aware of relating to his heart was: Angina - along with having a severe back injury but they weren't related to the cause of death according to professionals.

The reason which we are in need of help is due to paying for the funeral, his wife Andreya hasn't got the means to fund the funeral on her own as she was the sole carer for Colin and doesn't have much money to his name.

Friends and family near by have tried to assist with funding but wasn't able to raise near enough to what is needed.

Colin's body is unable to be released until at least £1,000 can be paid for the deposit to the funeral parlour, which is the same for all in the area.

He was a really kind man, gentle and well loved by family and friends and he will be dearly missed by all. We just want what is best for him so we can put him to rest peacefully where he should be now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and received at this extremely sad time.
