It is with much sadness and love that we share that our beloved eldest son Ben suddenly passed away on Thursday 14th August 2025. He was just 19 years old.

Ben’s life was not without its challenges. Both Ben and he and his brother Jack live with severe autism and ADHD, which means they have complex needs — but it has never defined them. What defined Ben was his spirit. He was bright, funny, and determined. He brought light and laughter into our home every single day and filled our lives with love.

Ben was diagnosed with a very rare heart condition approximately one year ago which unexpectedly and rapidly deteriorated over the last three of weeks of his life. That being said, Ben passed away suddenly and without pain. During his stay in Glenfield Hospital, Ben was lovingly cared for by both his family and the hospital staff. They are fully aware of how grateful we are for the standard of his care, and the compassion and dignity we were afforded while he was there.

Kirsty and I are incredibly grateful and so appreciative for the outpouring of love and support from everyone who knew Ben and our family — both over the years and now, during this time of deep grief. We'd like to thank you all who have already reached out to us directly for the kind words and messages. They have brought a small measure of comfort during the darkest time of our lives.

Please feel free to share your memories of Ben here. We celebrate the life of an amazing young man who will always be loved and never forgotten.

R.I.P Ben This is a spiritual inspired poem
Heartfelt Condolences to all the family x

From Me To You

Dont cry first met sweetheart and wonder why I've gone
Have you not yet realised that my spirit still lives on
I never really left you, although my physical body died
I walk along with you, im the cool breeze at your side
I see you when your all alone, feeling sad and blue
Heaven is missing an angel that angel dear ...is you
I know when your feeling lonely and feel that you don't belong
I'll do everything in my power to give you hope and keep you strong
You keep asking for a reason, a reason why I went
Do you not realise my earthly days were spent
Im sending you a cuddle full of divine love
Im always here for you looking down from up above
Have you not realised I still talk to you
I draw close around you whenever your feeling blue
Close your eyes and imagine im standing next to you
Im giving you divine advice to help you pull through
So don't feel sad and lonely, and think that I don't care
Whenever you think of me, I'll always be there
