It's with a heavy heart i've set up this page to help with funds for the funeral of our good friend Stuart Blackman. Stu was extremely unwell for the past year with breathing difficulties and other illnesses and spent a lot of time in and out of the hospital.

I received a phone call from his wife Joanne early hours of Monday morning to let us know sadly Stu had passed away at age just 53.

It broke our hearts knowing he's left behind his two youngest daughters Freya (9) Neve (11), his two eldest daughters Brooke and Chloe and his wife and soulmate Joanne. I am aware financially things are stretched for a lot of people with the cost of living, but even one pound would help to go towards giving the girl's dad Stu the best send off possible.

Even if you cannot afford to donate please share this gofundme page.

If we exceed the amount needed for all funeral costs the rest of the money will be placed in a trust fund for Stuart’s youngest daughters for when they are older.

Thank you for reading and sharing

Rest easy Stu
