GaryFLETCHERIt is with great sadness his family announce that Gary lost his valiant battle against pancreatic cancer on 17th October 2023. He was 64 years old. He was at home, where he wished to be, with his wife by his side. We can take some comfort that he is now free of pain and at peace. Gary was and always will be the beloved Husband of Sharon, much loved Dad of Sarah, Declan and Tyler, Father-in-law of Nathan, Brother of Gail and Kevin, Brother-in-law of Mike, Mary, Shaun and Valerie and Grandad of his soon to be born first Granddaughter. He was a great friend to so many people of all ages and never lost his sense of childish wonder. He found joy in simple pleasures - a walk by the sea, fish and chips, a game of darts and crazy Christmas presents. Despite his physical suffering, he remained determined and positive right to the end, even joking with his wife and the medical team on his final day. He was an incredible man and will be missed by everyone who knew him. Gary wanted a simple, private cremation and asked that people remember him as he was before the cancer weakened him - full of life, having fun, and with a terrible sense of humour! With this aim in mind, friends and family are invited to celebrate his life from 1.30pm on 3rd November at The Central, Derwent Street, Chopwell. Dress code: Jeans and rock T-shirt, the more colourful the better. Refreshments will be available. Donations can be made in Gary's memory to Pancreatic Cancer UK or Parkinsons UK.
