Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Nearly six months ago I lost a very special life long friend to cancer. Stu Gay passed away at the young age of 43 from a short illness.

Stu and I had been great mates for well over 35 years and I can never remember a bad word between us - always having a laugh and joke whenever we were together.

First meeting at primary school, we grew up together, we lived just down the lane from each other and also went to the same secondary school. After leaving school we even ended up at the same company working at Mardons as apprentices! 

We socialised together - clubbing in Bristol, Bath, wherever. I remember us going to the Bearberry snooker club (many times) until the sun came up and getting a lift home with the milkman! We also went on many lads holidays too! GREAT TIMES.

I will never forget Gayer, I will always think of him and the fun times that we shared which I am so thankful for.

However, I will always have this sadness that he will not walk through my door again. 😥

RIP GAYER 🙏🏻😘👍🍺 Taken too soon.

Finally, if you can, I would be so grateful if you could donate to this wonderful charity.

This will be a challenge for me because everyone who knows me, know that I like a drink - but a month in my life is nothing compared to what Stu had to battle with.
