Hi, my name Kirstie’, I’m Michael daughter,, so my everyone known my dad as ginge,ginger, Mike or Michael.. dad worked most of his life… was very out going raver old school legend !! Who loved his music loved karaoke lol & loved his family & his friends & his best friend Simba the dog ! his health over the years deteriorated badly about 8 years ago he had his first stroke but recovered extremely well from that! But last year unsure on dates sorry but he had his second stroke but our hospital missed it for about 3 days…until a doctor finally listened to me a done all tests he should of done from the first hospital admission that week.. well anyways dad kinda slowly was recovering from the second stroke & again was doing amazing still had few issues but he was slightly mobile again was able to kinda walk again with a walking aid just his left & right arm wasn’t working as they should do ! But his coordination was coming back again!!! But come to the new year…. 12.1.2026 ii have sadly heartbreakly found my dad dead in very very traumatic,sad,awful, heartbreaking way… that ii think will haunt me for the rest of life riddle in so much guilt for him

few people have to say do gofundme but ii really don’t still don’t wanna beg for money for my dad as it doesn’t sit right with me at all but he had nothing in place for his funeral nor do I have the funds to pay for it! &! This was very unexpected… not something I thought I’d have to do so soon into the New Year I’ve never had to arrange a funeral for anyone first one it’s my Darling Dad . It’s truly breaking me, but I’m trying to remain strong for my own children❤️‍.

I know il get some help via government but I’m just wondering & kinda hoping if any of his family & friends could help in anyway by maybe donating even just 50p / 1£ towards this ii would be ever so grateful from bottom of my heart it would mean so so much to my and my family to be able to give him somekinda decent send off something he definitely deserves as he was a true warrior the best dad & best grandad ii could ask for he was definitely a good friend to many of you from all the comments I’ve read (bittersweet as hurts my heart so badly but it’s also nice to read so again thankyouu

ii sorry ii don’t really have much words to everyone who already msg me with their condolences etc but just know it does mean more then words could ever describe right now☹️ xoxo
