Damian 27th January 2022

Hi Big D, It pains me to write this but I just want to say how devastating this is for all of us and from the bottom of my heart tell you how much I loved you and admired you. You had such an amazing influence on my life even before meeting jo and made my youth club days with my friends so enjoyable and memorable for everyone who had the fortune of being there with you. The void you have left right now is unbearable as we don't want to imagine a life without you....so many amazing memories, pieces of advice, laughs, lessons, the list goes on and on. You were an incredible, selfless person that touched the hearts of everyone you met. Jo, Josh and Sam absolutely adore you and like us all are choked at losing you...we always have and always will cherish your visits from when the boys were little to lockdown. You brighten up every room and even to the last day you made us laugh, put us all first and continued to amaze with your positive attitude and sense of humour. I am heartbroken beyond belief when I think about you and all the things you did with and for me and my family and never ever wanted us to part company...it is so terribly difficult to comprehend. But that said and through all the grief please know that I promise I will look after your girls and always do right by them just as you have shown me. I am so so sad but I also know that I am privileged to have had two amazing fathers and know that I am honoured to be a part of your wonderful family. Thank you for being you Dave, you're my inspiration, my example to follow, my role model and the first go to of how to do anything and everything. I think you knew I thought the world of you but just wanted to tell you one last time I love you Dave like I love my own Dad Damian 💔💔
