    Story

    Our close friend Scott Mcdermott sadly passed away last week in Australia where he lived with his wife Fran and daughters Hanna and Charlotte. They were his loves, his life his everything. Our thoughts/prayers go out to them and indeed all his family/friends at this time.

    Scott was one of lives true characters, the heart and soul of any party, and never a bad word for anyone. His death has come as a huge shock to everyone that knew him. He was taken far too young at 49. We are all deeply saddened.

    Unfortunately, as his funeral will be in Australia, a lot of us will of course be unable to attend and pass on our condolences personally.

    We were out with his brother Simon the day after his passing and after discussion it was decided that whilst flowers are traditional at funerals, perhaps the monies could be used better elsewhere.

    Perhaps a present for the girls from his friends to show how well he was thought of? Perhaps a family holiday in the future? Who knows? Whatever is chosen by Fran we are sure it will be in the best interests of her and the girls.

    So there it is. We are trying to raise as much as possible to pass on to the family of our great friend in a time of tragedy. Your generosity is much appreciated.

    As well as this page we will be holding a fundraising event in memory of Scott at Boldon Cricket Club sometime in the near future. Details and theme will be confirmed asap.

      I have happy memories of Scott - at school, in the pub, on holiday. It's sad thinking that he's gone. I hope the money can be spent on something fun for the girls to enjoy.

      So sad to hear about Scott, I always remember he was always smiling. Wish I had stayed in touch with him. RIP Scott.
