Claire and I are raising funds to give my brother the send-off he truly deserves.

He passed away suddenly from a heart attack, and our family is still trying to come to terms with the shock of losing him. He leaves behind his children, Lily, Ellie and Alfie, and his beloved grandchildren, Athena and Otto, who meant the world to him.

To me, he was always Ween — a charismatic, charming, intelligent and funny man who had an impact on everyone he met. From serving his country to being a dad and grandad, he touched many lives. He didn’t always make the right choices, but he was always trying to do better, and that’s something many of us admired.

We want to give him the best send-off we can and a dignified farewell where friends and family can come together to celebrate his life. Any funds raised will go directly towards funeral costs.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, it would mean so much and help ensure he receives the respectful goodbye he deserves.

Thank you for your support and kindness.
