Much loved husband of Julie, protective father to Cheryl & Antony, Andrew & Tarsh, and Dannii & Byron, proud Papa to Michael, Coleson, Annabelle, Willa and Odette, godfather to Jackson and Dom and a loyal friend to many.

Strong, hardworking and full of life, Papa dedicated himself to providing for and protecting the people he loved. From his years in the police force to building his business, Zest Safety, and moving to New Zealand, everything he did was driven by ambition, and love for his family.

Papa was happiest keeping busy whether tackling another DIY/renovation project, watching his beloved Manchester United, singing and dancing, sharing one of his hilarious jokes, or spending time with the people he loved most.

Behind his strength was a playful side that brought so much laughter to our lives, and behind all his hard work was a man whose greatest pride was always his family.

Forever loved, deeply missed, and forever young in our hearts.
