Words from Simon Ward:

We’re heartbroken to share that our beloved dad, Jason, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. It’s incredibly hard to find the words, but we want to honour him and ask for support during this painful time.

Jason was the best and most loving father we could have ever wished for. He was our rock and he was always there with a warm smile, comforting words, and endless love. He gave so much of himself to us and to everyone lucky enough to know him. His kindness, strength, and generous heart will never be forgotten.

As we navigate the shock and grief of losing him, we’re also facing the unexpected costs of his funeral and memorial. We want to give my Dad the dignified farewell he truly deserves, and we’re asking for help to make that possible.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference. If you're not able to donate, sharing this page and keeping us in your thoughts means so much to us.

Thank you for your kindness, love, and support during this time. Knowing how deeply Jason was loved brings us some comfort as we begin to say goodbye.
