Hi, my name is Colette, and I’m a close friend of Kim. I’m creating this page on her behalf after the heartbreaking loss of her son, Stuart, who sadly passed away at just 18 years old.

We are absolutely heartbroken to share that our beloved Stuart has sadly passed away at just 18 years old. This is an unimaginable loss, and no family is ever prepared to face something so devastating so soon.

This space has been created because, during this unbearable time, our focus should be on remembering and celebrating Stuart’s life. Instead, we find ourselves overwhelmed with arrangements we never thought we would have to make.

We are planning a wake to honour Stuart’s short but deeply meaningful life — a chance for everyone who knew and loved him to come together, share memories, and say goodbye.

So many of you have kindly reached out, offering support in any way you can. Your compassion means more to us than words can express. While there is absolutely no expectation to contribute, we have created this page for those who have asked how they can help. Any donations will go towards funeral and wake costs, helping to ease the burden during this incredibly difficult time and allowing us the space to grieve.

It is incredibly hard for us to ask for help, but we are simply not able to cover all the costs on our own. Any contribution, no matter how small, would be received with deep gratitude.

More than anything, we want to give Stuart the farewell he deserves — surrounded by love, by those whose lives he touched, and in a way that truly honours who he was.

We know how many people loved and adored this beautiful boy, and we hope to bring everyone together to celebrate his life and say goodbye.

Thank you so much for your kindness, your support, and for keeping Stuart in your hearts.
