Anthony “Tony” Parkinson, aged 57 years, passed away surrounded by the love of his family.
Tony was the beloved husband and best friend of Angela, a cherished and proud dad to Chloe, Mani, Max, Charlotte and Alicia, and a devoted “Pop Pops” to Theo, Luca and Arabella. He was a much loved brother, uncle, cousin and a dear friend to many whose lives were brighter for knowing him.
Above all else, Tony’s world was his family. He took great joy in every moment spent together, whether it was sharing laughter at home or cheering from the sidelines. He had a true love of rugby, especially watching Max play — a source of immense pride. He also had a deep love of music and enjoyed the simple pleasure of good company, good conversation, and a glass of his favourite whiskey.
Tony will be remembered for his warmth, loyalty, humour and the unwavering love he gave so freely. His presence filled a room, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him.
The funeral service will be held at Oakworth Crematorium, Wide Ln, Oakworth, BD22 0RJ on Thursday 5th March at 11:30am.
Family and friends are warmly invited to continue sharing memories and raise a glass — perhaps of Tony’s favourite whiskey — at Cullingworth Conservative Club, 21-23 Station Rd, Cullingworth, Bradford BD13 5HN.
The family kindly asks that, in honour of Tony, those attending wear a splash of yellow.
Forever loved, forever missed.

Bridget “Bridie” Canning passed away peacefully at home, aged 83 years, surrounded by her loving family.
The dearest wife of the late Alexander, Bridie was a cherished mother to Catherine, Martin, Alex and Marie, a dear mother-in-law to Darin, Vikki and Ian, and a devoted and adored Nan to Natalie, Liam, Kaylan, Caragh, Joel, Dane, Derry, Paris, Alex, Erin and Skyla.
Born in Dublin, Bridie always held her Irish roots close to her heart. Though slight in stature, she had an enormous personality and an even bigger heart. Her family meant the world to her, and her happiest times were spent at the many lively family parties, surrounded by laughter, stories, and loved ones, often with her familiar glass of vodka in hand. She also loved a good singalong and was never happier than when everyone joined in together.
Together, Bridie and Alex were well known and respected as the landlords of several public houses around the area of Bradford, where they formed lifelong friendships and became a much-loved part of the local community.
Bridie will be remembered for her warmth, strength, humour and unwavering love for her family. She leaves behind a lifetime of treasured memories and a legacy of togetherness that will live on in all who knew her.
Her funeral service will take place at St Anthony’s Church, Bradford Road, Clayton, BD14 6HW on Friday 6th March at 10:30am, followed by interment at Scholemoor Cemetery.
The family warmly invite everyone to continue sharing memories and raise a glass in her honour afterwards at Bradford & Bingley Rugby Club, 34 Wagon Lane, Bingley, BD16 1LT.
She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
May she rest in peace.
