Story
Hi Everyone.
The reason for this page is at 03:45 19/02/2017 all of us lost a family member, friend, solider, work mate.
John Claridge has left us all to be at peace from the awful disease that John fought so hard to beat - Bowel Cancer at the young age of 41
In Aid of johns memory and the heaven taking our angel away we would like to raise money for him to have the most amazing send off he could ever deserve and to do this we are asking for your help to make this day for him.
John has touched each and everyone one of our hearts with his smile, laugh, love and banter. He was a true gentleman, fighter and brother to all.
All he will be missed uncontrollably.
So can I ask that you share this page and please help us raise money to go to his funeral in which his young daughter and family now have to go through the heartache of planning.
SO for John and his family can we please help ease the burden that comes with this great heartache and help them not worry about 1 less thing to do.. in this awful time.
I am appealing to all and your hearts to donate even just a £1, £5 or as much or as little as you can afford in memory of John.
In Addition 2 of Johns Army Friends on the 5th march Mark Broadhurst and Shaun Rowley will be running Warwick Half Marathon in remembrance of clacka (John).. They all served in the Staffordshire regiment together. They will be wearing West Bromwich Football tops in respect of his beloved baggies.. ( Shaun and Mark are Walsall fans).
We hope we can raise much needed funds to ease the burden of his funeral costs and give him a good send off.
We do this for him!
We are greatly sorry for all your losses.
RIP John.
Daddy, Brother, Nephew, Son, Cousin, Friend, Solider.
Gone but Never Ever Forgotten.
