Hi my name is Sarah Cox and I am a friend and work colleague of Mark's wife.

We are devastated to share that on the 22nd April, a loving young husband and devoted father tragically passed away, collapsing in Morrisons in front of his wife.

In a single, unimaginable moment, his family’s world was turned upside down.

He leaves behind his wife and five young children, all under the age of 9, who now face life without their dad—the man who loved them deeply, worked hard for them, and was at the centre of their lives.

No family should have to endure such a sudden and traumatic loss, and yet they are now not only grieving, but also facing the overwhelming reality of funeral costs and the challenge of raising five very young children alone.

We are asking for any support you can give to help ease this burden. Donations will go towards funeral expenses and helping provide some financial stability for his wife and children during this incredibly difficult time.

I am hoping with the power of facebook and the wonderful support of the Clacton community we can ease the burden on this family xx

If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page to help reach others who may be able to help.

Thank you for your compassion and kindness. Every bit of support means more than words can express.
