Story
On Tuesday 4th May we sadly lost our awesome friend Grant.
Grant lived for his friends and loved ones. He was where the action was, anything fun or adrenaline filled he would do and make sure everyone was involved too.
You would know if Grant was around as he always had something to say. Nothing was ever a bother for him and he would always help if you needed him.
Grant loved hockey whether it be ice hockey, street hockey or coaching. If he wasn’t working he wanted to be where the puck was. Then if it wasn’t hockey it was his bikes or water sports!
With the funeral now pending we want to support his loved ones with the unexpected costs and give Grant the send-off he deserves.
If there is any money left over it will be donated to CALM
The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is leading a movement against suicide. Every week 125 people in the UK take their own lives. And 75% of all UK suicides are male.
CALM exists to change this.

I never got the chance to meet Grant, but he was a colleague and he sounded like an all-round great guy. I’m saddened by his loss and my thoughts and best wishes are with his friends and family.

I have set it up with the agreement of his loved ones who is handling the funeral. Grant was one in a million and I will miss him forevermore. He was one of the craziest and loveliest guys I have had the pleasure of meeting and being friends with. I Will miss you Grant xx
