David RyanCOOPERIn loving memory of David who was born and raised in the Cotswolds. He bought warmth, laughter and loyalty wherever he went and had a rare ability to brighten lives simply by being himself - his dedication shone through in all he loved. David gave 28 years to his football club; the longest serving member and 23 years to Wilks Scaffolding where he said he never felt like he worked a day in his life, surrounded by friends and shared adventures.
Above all David was a devoted father to his four boys and his cherished stepson. being their dad was his proudest role and his love for them was fierce and unconditional, even in the face of an exceptionally rare cancer. David's humour and spirit never left him. He will be deeply missed by his wife, children, family and many friends. He leaves behind love, laughter and memories that will be treasured always.
Forever loved, always missed and never forgotten.
David's funeral service will take place on Friday 2nd January 2026 at The Vale Crematorium at 1.00pm.
Family flowers only please, but donations, in David's memory will be collected for St Richard's Hospice.
