In Memory Of Our Beloved Gary Ottway
Donation protected
We are raising money to help pay for our beloved big hearted Gary's funeral who sadly passed away suddenly on Thursday 1st April 2021 at only 41 years old.
To me like so many others who knew him he wasn't just a friend he became our extended family member!
Gary had such a tough life from such a young age being bought up in children's homes and finally Foster care where he was helped with his reading & writing, learning the rights & wrongs of life and he spoke highly of his foster parents when he spoke about his youth! The fact of the matter is as he became old enough to live on his own and build a life he never really knew where he belonged except on his own! He was always there to help his friends and family with his carpentry skills ( some of the best I've ever known) and he wouldn't want much in return just to be fed, watered and a place to sleep! He always gave a shoulder to cry on and listened to all and would do his best to help in anyway he could. Now its time to pay him back and give him the best send off that all of us can which he really deserves.
Gary was never a materialistic person just loved everyone & had such an impact on everyone's lives that he ever had the fortune to come across. If he wasn't doing carpentry, mixing music on his decks then you would see him practicing his wing chun martial arts for hours on end!
As with many people during this horrific covid19 pandemic Gary's mental health & wellbeing started to suffer and sadly over the last few months took a spiral out of control! Being in his one bedroom bedsit day in & day out on his own not being able to see the people he loved & cared about took it's toll on him. Unfortunately the last week of his life he ended up spending in a mental health unit trying to get everything under control & rebuilding his life!
Please we are asking you from the bottom of our broken hearts to give anything you can no matter how small to give our shining star in the sky the best he deserves.
Gary may not of had much in life but we're determined for his last journey in life to be full of everything he deserves!
Thank you!
