My beautiful, brave and courageous Dave passed away peacefully on 10th August 2026, holding our hands. We were together until the very end, surrounded by our little family. He was wrapped in love, tears and laughter right until his final moments.

Dave, the children and I will be forever grateful to the doctors and nurses who came to support us each day and made sure he was comfortable. The care we received from the Clatterbridge team in Liverpool and Wirral was truly outstanding, especially Dr Ian Lampkin (Oncologist) and Emily (CNS – Support Nurse) at Clatterbridge Wirral.

Dr Alison Coackley was Dave's favourite consultant, and the kindness and compassion she showed him went beyond words. She was a real-life angel, and we will never forget her.

We couldn't have had so much precious time together at home without the incredible care and support we received, and without my family, who held me and the children up when I needed to be strong for Dave.

Dave, you will forever be my hero and love story, the best Dad to our beautiful children and an extremely proud Grandad to our grandchildren. Our lives will never be the same without you, but knowing that you are now free from pain brings us some comfort. 

We love you endlessly. Until we meet again.

Funeral service to take place on Friday 4th September 2026 at 10:40am at Chester Crematorium.

I'm so sorry to hear about Dave's passing. He was such a lovely bloke who was always friendly, kind and a real pleasure to work with. He was one of those people who always made things that little bit better just by being around, and he'll be sadly missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

My thoughts are with all his friends and family at this incredibly difficult time. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Sarah, I love you so much. We had so much fun at uni in that house together, and my one regret is not keeping in touch more. Your wedding was amazing with those peacocks displaying and even my mum remembers you helping put my dress up during my wedding. You were always there for me no matter how often we saw each other. I am so sorry I can't be there to officially say goodbye. Love you always. Marie xx (Maz)xx

Such a beautifull lady inside and out. Gone far too soon.

Sarah was such a beautiful person,compassionate, and understanding. I work as part of the Admin Team in Physiotherapy, and I was her patient at one time many years ago. She was so understanding of my challenges as a disabled person. Ive always remembered how lovely she was.

Dear Kris, Sophie and the whole family Louise, Nige, Bex, Matthew at this sad time may you have some comfort that your friends grieve with you. Sarah will always be with you, in your hearts and many many memories.

To Kris, Sophie and family. What a wonderful person Sarah was, whom I had the pleasure of calling a friend for so many years at Deeside AAC. A fabulous wife and a very special mum to Sophie. I am devastated that Sarah no longer is with us but will inspire us forever. Lots of love, Mike, Sophie, Jack and Adam xx
