On behalf my big cousin Joseph, our family would like to raise money towards our chosen charity 'Samaritans'. We want to encourage all men in Scotland of any age, feeling down, stressed or worried, to ask for help when they need it, without fear of failure. 

Joseph was the happiest person in our lives and always had the biggest smile. A true gentleman with a heart of gold. As a family we are distraught by his sudden death. We want to raise awareness that it is okay to ask for help and reach out when you need it. Male suicide is the biggest killer in men under the age of 45 in the UK and 75% of all suicides are male. Please call Samaritans if you are needing help on 116 123.

Please share this page far and wide on behalf of our beloved Joseph. Let everyone know that it is okay to not be okay. We wish we could have helped Joseph and our hearts are broken. We will sorely miss him and continue to love him every minute of every day.

May you rest in peace now Joseph.

We love you.

Gillian. XXX
