In honour of Dave, we have created this tribute fundraiser to support the RNLI - a charity he greatly respected.

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution are the lifeboat crews who provide 24-hour search and rescue around the UK and Ireland. As a charity, the RNLI depends on our donations so it can go on saving lives and keeping us and our loved ones safe.

Dave was an avid sea swimmer and surfer; he was always happiest in the water. He also had a boyish excitement for the search and rescue team!

We, as a family, have been overwhelmed by the support and kindness from you all. We kindly ask that if you would like to gift something to the family you can please give a donation here as the water is where he'll be.

(Yes, that is really him.)
