In memory of Chris Bygate
We are volunteers on call 24/7 all year to preserve life and prevent disability.

Story

Chris was a charismatic, caring and fun-loving individual who died doing what he loved with the person he had planned to spend the rest of his life with.

That we all admired him so much is easy to understand, he lived life to the fullest, pushed himself to ever greater achievements, and did it all with integrity, decency and kindness.  We will miss him so much, but it can be ensured from now on that we will stand a little taller, work a little harder, and live as much as possible in tribute to him.

He gave the gift of life to at least 2 other people through organ donation.  However his lungs were too awesome (too big) to be donated which I know would have amused him!  

He lived his life to the max and loved what he did and I know he inspired everyone in some way.
