Story
On Friday 12th May, John Doe (Niall Simpson) sadly and unexpectedly passed away.
In the past few days many of you have shared tales and memories, John Doe was a bright and colourful light and certainly had a place in many people’s hearts.
With permission from those nearest to him we are asking that you give as much as you comfortably can afford to in order to help with funeral costs and to give him the send off he rightfully deserves.
Any money raised and not used towards his funeral and wake will be donated to LEAP (Lothian & Edinburgh Abstinence Programme) , who helped John Doe find his way more than once.
**John Doe's Funeral is 2pm on Friday June 2nd, Warriston Lorimer Chapel - to which all friends will be warmly welcomed**

8 years agoThe fundraising page will be coming to an end before midnight on the 2nd of June (John Doe's funeral date) This should give friends (including me!) who get paid at the end of the month an opportunity to donate if they wish, and it will also allow enough time to clear the funds to pay the funeral directors etc. The response has been phenomenal, although not surprising given the warmth everyone had for the man. Huge thanks to everyone who has donated and shared x

8 years agoAbsolutely astounded by everyone's generosity! On behalf of everyone involved with arranging John Doe's send off I cannot thank you enough, it will be a huge relief to those closest who had this sudden and unexpected loss to know that the financial burden has been lifted. But please, can I ask that you keep sharing and encouraging others to donate, even a small amount as the initial amount will really only cover basics. John Doe specifically asked for a party afterwards, we have the bare bones of that, but it will have to be paid for also. X

Words are never enough to express the loss we feel. The happy memories of a life filled with fun and good times can give us strength. He can still put a smile on my face, just thinking about him.💜
