Beloved husband of Sara, loving son of Keith and Marie, much loved dad of Harriet, Max and Matty, adored brother of Karen, loving uncle and a cherished friend to many. The funeral service and cremation will take place at Nab Wood Crematorium on Monday September 20 at 11.00 am. Family request that bright colours be worn to reflect Mark’s colourful character and personality. Family flowers only please but donations would be appreciated to Bosom Friends Bradford and may be made online via the Tribute & Donation page.

Details of his illness and death are unclear but it is believed that he died from the pandemic.
Mark played for the lower teams at our club and went on one of the trips to Italy, where he roomed with Andrew Hardcastle.

Mark used to own a butchers shop in Oakworth before opening a golf equipment shop in Keighley and then moving to the American Golf Shop in Guiseley. He was a good golfer and member of Keighley Golf Club.

Our sincere condolences are extended to his wife, father Keith and other members of his family.
