This is one of the hardest things we've had to write, a week ago we lost our beloved brother Dicker as he gave up his battle with depression.

This is the sad reality of mental health. It can take such a wonderful, caring, hard working, enthusiastic, party loving and outgoing person such as our brother, Dicker.

All our family cannot thank everyone enough for the outpouring of love and support from friends, members of the community and complete strangers which has been extremely comforting to the family at this tragic time.

We would like to try make something positive come out of this and shine a light on mental health as it can affect anyone, it does not discriminate and nobody should have to go through something so heart breaking. It is so devastating that the stigma can prevent people from feeling able to reach out out for help.

Dicker's funeral will be held Friday 22nd May 2020. We know many people would like to attend however during this difficult time of the CV19 pandemic we are restricted to family only. A memorial will be held on the farm at a later date.

If anyone wishes to make donations we have chosen The DPJ Foundation for their fantastic work they do and really feel they could make a difference in our community.

The DPJ Foundation has been setup in memory of another victim of depression who took his own life. His family want people suffering to get help sooner than the doctor can give them. 

The aim is to provide support to those in the rural communities of Wales, especially men in agriculture. It does this through spreading awareness of Mental health, educating people through Mental Health First Aid and providing practical support to those in the sector through the 'Share the Load' counselling referral service.

People with depression don't believe anyone or anything can help them. This has to change. Thank you. The Tilley Family
