My wonderful Dad, Bryan Thomas, sadly passed away on 30th January 2026 at the age of 93. He died peacefully and gently, with both my mum and me holding his hands.

Dad had the epitome of a life well-lived. He took great satisfaction from a career helping those with disabilities find employment and enjoyed a well-earned and happy retirement, making memories with us at home in the UK and in the sunshine of Florida.

Entirely selfless, he always put others first and I am humbled by the support and interest he always had in me. His funeral is taking place on 18th February, and in tribute to his life and in his memory I would like to collect donations for Cancer Research UK. Cancer touches everyone and I support this charity’s mission to beat it.

Thank you.
