Dear friends, family, and generous strangers,

We are reaching out with heavy hearts to share the unexpected passing of our beloved Karl. Karl was a loving son, brother, uncle, brother-in-law and friend. He was someone who lit up the room with his infectious energy, could make anyone laugh and left a lasting impression on everyone he met. Tragically, he passed away suddenly from a stroke, leaving us all in shock and mourning.

So we can come together to honor and remember Karl, we are organising a Celebration of Life to pay tribute to the incredible man he was. The costs associated with this gathering, including venue, services, and food, have added up quickly, and we’re asking for help to ensure we can give him the farewell he so very deserves.

If you are able, any contribution—big or small—will be deeply appreciated and will go directly toward covering the costs of the event and supporting our family during this difficult time. Your support will help us celebrate his beautiful life and the endless joy he brought to us all.

We also understand that times can be tough, so if you're unable to contribute financially, sharing this page would be just as valuable.

Thank you for your love, support, and generosity during this incredibly challenging time.

With gratitude,

The Simmonds family.
