David Pilkington

Our friend and colleague Dave Pilkington passed away peacefully and painlessly in hospital at 7am on Friday, August 4th 2023,  surrounded by his family.

Dave had been involved in a car accident in mid-July, from which the injuries sustained led to a deterioration in his health including a stroke.

In accordance with Dave’s wishes, there was  no funeral – he opted for Pure Cremation and a memorial service at The Family Church in Westhoughton followed by a wake.
