TIMOTHY JOHN BARNARD'S FUNERAL AND AFTER PARTY!

Hello there, it's the BARNARD family here, we are looking to raise funds for our dear Timothy's funeral and after party. Our beautiful, kind and brave Husband, father, brother, grandad and uncle sadly passed away this morning after a short seven week battle with terminal lung cancer and strokes. He fought for us every moment he could and experienced so much pain in his short time in hospital. We wish to raise as much funds for him as possible because he had no savings or a will in place due to receiving disability benefits. This illness very much appeared out of the blue and the decline was extremely quick. As a family we can only raise a small amount of money in this short time. We are looking at our beautiful community of Windsor and the wider community to support us in our plans.

Timothy was a beautiful soul, he loved his family fiercely and accepted friends into our home with open arms. If you were kind, loving and respectful to him and his family then you were officially part of our family. Our home was always the hang out spot for friends, our safe place, and our happy space. If Timothy was there then you was guaranteed to belly laugh at his dad jokes and have deep conversations about history and the wars his relatives fought. He loved to go fishing, camping, cycling and making bows and arrows in which he loved to share with his children and their friends. If you saw Timothy you would be guaranteed to see a crowd of children following him for a wonderful day of adventure and exploration of this magical world he loved. In his down time he loved to sit in his armchair and relax with a hot coffee and a crossword book.

As a husband timothy was extremely loving, romantic, giving and protective. He made our mum feel like the most gorgoeus woman in the world and he doted on her until his last breaths. In his last days he sang love songs to her and held and tiggled her hands. He even gave her a cheeky kiss and licked his lips. A tear dropped from his eyes every time he saw her cry at his bed side! Our mum will always feel his loss and will never recover from losing her soulmate, she is absolutely devastated. As a father to three sons and one daughter he couldnt have been better. He gave us all the love, attention and respect we needed to grow up happily. He filled our minds and hearts with knowledge, memories and joy. We didnt have much money but that didnt stop him from making memories with us. We explored our surroundings in the woods and parks, we went swimming in pools and seas of all colours and we played until the street lights came on. Even when in pain or tired we could depend on him even when we grew up as adults. He supported us in every way possible and fiercly protected his children. As a grandafther, this became even more evident. His passion and love for his grandchildren began from the minute he watched them enter this world and stayed until his last breath. He passed surrounded by their pictures and cards in his mind. He managed to have one last hug from all of his family before he passed and gave us all our own special love languages. He danced and sang with the little energy he had left to comfort us all instead of thinking of his own pain. As a son and brother, Timothy was extremely protective, kind and loyal. He became the man of the family once his parents sadly passed many years ago. If there was a job to do, a washing machine to fix, a hole to dig it was guaranteed to be done by Tim with no questions asked even when he was in pain from his disabilities. He leaves behind 4 wonderful sisters, 4 loving, caring and special children and 5 beautiful and amazing grandchildren. Not to mention, his beautiful and cheeky pet's rexx, Jessie, Bambie, elsa, olaf and appollo to name a few.

His wishes for his funeral and after party was heavily discussed with him in the days leading up to his passing. He laughed, giggled and smiled through the immense pain he suffered to let us know his wishes. He was a massive fan of Everton football team and music by madness, queen, the jam and the rolling stones. His wishes were to have a blue and white everton theme at his funeral with all his favourite music playing at the crematorium and after party. If you are able to donate so we can meet his wishes we wholeheartedly thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The pain, shock and heartbreak from losing our dear husband, father, brother, uncle and Grandad will never be healed but the love from our community may ease the pain a little.

Thankyou very much from:

Janet, Chris, Daniel, Leeann, Dean, Joanne, Michelle, Anne, Mandy and all the rest of our family and friends.
