As you may know it was with a very heavy heart that Pat Dukes and family had to announce the very sudden but peaceful death of their much loved son, brother partner and father Paul Dukes who was taken far to soon on Saturday.

This has left Pat and family absolutely heartbroken and a 13 week old boy without a dad.

To everyone who knows Pat she has been through a very tough few years with her accident and health. The death of Paul is something this brave lady will never recover from. While Pat is trying to come to terms with this sad news there is unfortunately practical things we have to be dealing with as well. A funeral is something we hardly ever have chance to save for especially for someone so young.

I know a lot of family and friends of Pat, Lisa and the boys would like to show their respects so we are asking instead of flowers and gifts if you would like to donate to this page all money raised will be split between Paul's funeral costs and a new savings plan for baby Ethan's future. It's just one way we can help take a little bit of strain from the family at the moment.

We would like to thank everyone for their kind words at this very very sad time.
