HI, my name is Shirley, sister of Monty and Auntie to his children. Our family is devastated by the sudden and unexpected passing of our beloved youngest brother, Stephen (Monty) Montgomery. Monty was 54 years old when he tragically passed away. This is an unimaginable loss for our family, and his children Alex, Bobby, Leah (19), and Anna (14) are struggling to cope with the grief and financial burden of planning a funeral and having to move home and plan for the future.

Monty was the rock for his children and a devoted partner to the late Nicky, who passed away 4 years ago, leaving him to single-handedly continue providing for and being a wonderful father to his kids. He was the kindest soul and never failed to help with anything. He meant the world to us, and we are devastated that he was taken from us far too soon.

We are devastated by Monty's unexpected passing and the profound loss his death has left in our lives. The financial burden of his funeral and related expenses, moving home, starting over, is more than his grieving family can bear alone. Any contributions, no matter how small, would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, prayers, and support during this incredibly difficult time. Any excess funds will be used to provide much-needed furniture to build a new 'home'.
