Story
Its with a heavy heart today im here writing this story. Keith Laycock sadly passed away on the 7th July after his life long battle with a heart condition. Keith as a child never believed he would have the chance to see adulthood. But strong as he was he did. He found the love of his life, his wife Amanda and they had two beautiful children together, his beloved family were his whole world and more.
Unfortunatly with his heart condition he wasnt able to get any life insurance to help his family after his passing with funeral costs or money to help with living costs. The little savings they have is not going to be enough.
Keith was loved by so so so many people, he was such a funny, goofy, loveable guy and would help in anyway he could. Well now i open my arms and invite his friends and family or anyone this story reaches to please help us raise money to give Kieth the send off he deserves, and to help out his wife and children who he loved more than anything in the world, adjust to life without him.
RIP KEITH WE ALL LOVE YOU

1 month agoWell I’m super pleased to say we have raised so far £1000 which we set as our first goal! which is absolutely amazing! Thanks again to all that has donated so far yesterday I changed the goal amount to £2000 after amanda had a quote for over £4000 for the funeral cost. So we continue to hold our hands out to anyone the story reaches to please help. Every little helps. The more we can raise. The less stress me sister has on her shoulders so she can just grieve with their two beautiful children. And Keith will get the send off he deserves

1 month agoHi all, just a quick update. I have recently upped the amount for the target from £1000 to £2000 because we have had a quote for the funeral at just over £4000. What we have raised so far is absolutely amazing! And we are all forever grateful to all. I am just hoping that maybe we could get a little more than £1000 to help Amanda and the kids out more and deplete Amanda’s stress 💜

Didnt know you very well Keith,but as a child growing up, I remember your days of being behind the Tuck Shop at School, and me thinking “I’d like to do that one day”.... Early/Mid Nineties 🤭 RIP.
