We are all heartbroken by the sudden loss of Michael Beard, a beloved Son, Father, Brother, Uncle & Friend. During this incredibly painful time, we want to do everything we can to support Mick, Sue & his brothers Mark & Chris as they face the unimaginable.

Michael suffered with mental health, he tried so hard to get better for himself & those he loved but sadly in the end, life became too difficult. We URGE anyone to talk.

No parent ever expects to be in the position of organising their child’s funeral. The loss of Michael has come as an unimaginable shock, and in the midst of our grief we are now faced with funeral expenses we simply had no time to prepare or save for.

We have created this page to help take that weight off the families shoulders and to ensure that Michael receives the farewell he deserves. Any contribution, no matter how small, will go directly towards funeral expenses and anything left over will go into a trust fund to support his 2 sons Archie & Ronnie.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and for helping us honour Michael’s life.

If you are struggling, please reach out to someone. You are not alone, and there are people who care and want to help.
