Time to say goodbye to Dave

It’s hard to put into words the sense of loss that we all feel right now. As a family this has been such a terrible time. We are truly saddened beyond words. The number of cards and messages are a tribute to the man that we loved with all of our hearts and who touched so many people. Thank you to everyone who has reached out to us to offer your support.

Dave has been involved with and a supporter of Shevington Sharks for over twelve years ever since he took Sam for his first training session. The Sharks have played a massive part of the Halsall’s family life ever since then. Only a couple of weeks before we lost him he was down at the new pitch side supporting the under 12’s team. There are lots of great photos and storys about his time helping out and standing on the touchline at matches that we now hold very dear. 

Lots of people have asked how they can help, is there anything they can do? So our family have set up this fundraising page to give everyone the opportunity to support the Shevington Sharks Junior Rugby Teams by making a donation and leaving a message, your tribute to Dave. We are asking that people consider showing their support by making a donation rather than sending floral tributes. Family flowers only please.

He was passionate about supporting the development of kids rugby especially in a family oriented club like Sharks. Sam and India are both keen and accomplished rugby players with both of them having been part of the touch rugby England set up. Supporting the development of the next generation of sports boys and girls is something he would have been very proud of. 

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who has shared their feelings with us. Your support has been a great comfort in the saddest of times.
