Story

Thank you for visiting this page, it has been set up to remember my brother Grant who sadly passed away on July 1st 2021.

Grant will be remembered for so many wonderful things and was an exceptional brother and a loving Father to his two boys, Miles and Toby.

With a long career as a CPO in the Royal Navy, Grant encountered some wonderful friends (shipmates!) and made many happy and fun memories along the way, far too many to recall here! 

Our chosen charity, Launchpad, supports many military veterans who fall on hard times and I am eternally grateful to them for being there in Grant's time of need, showing support, kindness and love when he needed it most. Together we worked to get Grant back on his feet, safe and secure at Liverpool Speke House where, again, he was met with kindness and support. I can't thank them enough ❤

We love you and miss you Grant, may you now be at rest and in peace xxx
