Giving Dave a Good Memorial Send Off

Our lovely neighbour Dave passed away recently and we miss him dearly. He was a great and kind neighbour and the bestest friend of our cat honey. They would spend hours together and she used his flat as her own as much as ours. He used to buy her tins of cat food and pop a twirl chocolate through our mailbox, to which we would reply by popping a pack of pancakes through his mailbox. It was a good exchange and we looked after each other.

He would also look after other local cats when the owners were away, always baffled how they still got out even tho he closed all the doors and windows. Cats ! Dave was very independent but all the neighbours helped out where they could from cutting his grass to driving him to the shops or the hospital. It was a good community atmosphere.

He was also more importantly an amazing drummer and very passionate about his jazz band and played the drums with them every Tuesday night at the Brentford Brewery Tap pub and toured NYC, Europe and the UK with them. He liked to dress up in his suit and get ready for his gigs locally and even more when he would travel down to overnight gigs by the seaside. You might have seen them there.

We were all Dave's closest neighbour family and as such we would like to give him a send off that's more than just a council one, which means we all need to raise over £2000. So we are collecting to raise enough for a lovely humanist memorial where his band can play him out and we can give him the final respect that he deserves.

There are many elderly people living alone, but that doesn't mean they can't have a good send off from the local neighbours and friends who loved them as part of their community when the time comes.

We hope you can donate anything small to help us celebrate the life of Dave Evans.
