TheoFREEMAN9 March 2003 - 4 September 2025
Loved and loving.
Is and always will be desperately missed by his heartbroken family: his parents Joanne and Luke and his sister Eva; his grandmother Felicity, his aunts Elley and Louise and his uncle Jim; his cousins Jacob, Madeleine, Connor, Frankie and Ellie-Mae; his loving partner Amelie and those to whom he was a sweet and generous-hearted friend and who are too many to mention.
Theo touched the lives of others in many places: Didsbury where he was born and went to primary school at St Catherines; at St Bede's School where he played football for the school, was head boy and used his wonderful mind both in his own academic performance and also to help others; in South and East Manchester where he played youth football with FC Sports and Cheadle Town for 10 years; in Edinburgh where he went to university and made and nurtured some truly incredible friendships and from where he graduated in style in July; and, of course, in Cushendall in the Glens of Antrim where his grandparents lived and where he spent many wonderful summers.
He left us too soon.
Theo's humanist funeral service will be at The Monastery on Gorton Lane, Manchester M12 5WF at 12 noon on 24 September 2025 ; there will be a private committal at Manchester Crematorium.
Those attending should wear any colour in which they feel comfortable.
Please don't buy flowers - take someone dear to you out for a coffee instead or, if you want to make a charitable donation, please consider Disasters Emergency Committee or Papyrus.
After the funeral, the celebration of his life will continue at the Clubhouse at Didsbury Sports Ground on Ford Lane, Didsbury, Manchester M20 2RU from 1.30pm.
Everyone is really very welcome at the Clubhouse to share stories and food.
Theo's final resting place will be in nature at Dove Stone Celebration Wood where his family will plant a memorial tree and inter his ashes.
