🌟 Remembering Dave Wade 🌟

Yesterday, we gathered to celebrate the life of a remarkable man who tragically died far too soon.

Dave had so much to look forward to in his life —his loving marriage to his childhood sweetheart, Nat, who spoke so beautifully in tribute to her husband, and his pride in being a dedicated father to two wonderful daughters.

He was an also a son and brother, cherished by his family, and found his true calling at The Harbour psychiatric hospital, where he touched countless lives with his kindness and compassion.

Tragically, all of this changed in an instant after a devastating accident cut his life short at just 36.

The emotions were overwhelming at his funeral in Carleton yesterday with C. T. Hull Funeral Service, as we reflected on the joy he brought to so many lives.

The music chosen was perfect - in closing ‘Fallen Angel’ and ‘Lifetime’ by Three Days Grace and ‘Sound of Sipence’ by Disturbed.

This photo, taken earlier this year, captures a proud moment when Dave finally passed his driving test.

In a selfless act, he signed his organ donor card, allowing six of his vital organs to help others live on.

Dave’s legacy of love, laughter, and generosity will forever remain in our hearts. 💙✨

🌻 beautiful words Richard Spedding - Humanist wedding, vow renewal & funeral celebrant ❤️ for a beautiful girl. May she rest in peace x

Today, we gathered to celebrate the life of the incredible Kat Maylia, who left us far too soon at just 36 years old.

Kat, quite righty, strongly said recently that it just ‘wasn’t fair’ that she couldn’t finally marry her fiancé Lewis and watch their beautiful children, Frankie and Corah, grow up.

Lytham Park Cemetery & Crematorium was packed today as friends and family came together to honour her at her Humanist Ceremoniesfuneral, a testament to the love she inspired in all of those closest to her.

Originally from Ashington, Northumbria, Kat moved to Blackpool in her teens, where she pursued her dream of becoming an accountant and found her perfect job in the finance team at BAE.

Kat continually embraced her life fully, surrounded by her Blackpool family and the many friends she cherished and was always there for.

Her bond with her grandad Michael and aunty Deborah remained strong throughout her life, reflecting the deep connections she valued.

As I concluded my tribute, I shared these words:

“If the world was full of more Kats, then it would be an infinitely better place.”, which I sincerely believe.

Once again, wonderful to work with the lovely Rebecca from C. T. Hull Funeral Service.

Rest in peace, Kat. You will be deeply missed. 💔✨

William (Trevor) Gibson.
Trevor’s partner of over 50 years, the lovely Nora, has asked me to share the knowledge of his passing which was a week last Saturday (23rd August 2025) aged 90 years young.

The Gibson name goes back many decades, indeed generations. Most Poultonians will remember Trevor, his family and Gibson’s bakery shop on 64 Station Road on the corner with Lower Green - “W & M Gibson High Class Confectioners & Bakers” - as the sign said back in the day. Personally, as a child, I remember my Grandad Tom & Gran Mabel walking from their house on First Avenue, bringing back amazing cakes and pots of fresh cream from the delicious Gibson’s

The celebration of Trevor’s life and cremation will be at Carleton Crematorium on Tuesday 16th September 2025 at 11.00 am.

Nora tells me Trevor was an extremely nice person, very talented, he had a big heart, amazing with his bakery skills, producing wonderful cakes, bread and confectionery for the community, he was funny, dry witted, kind, socialable, one of the last big family names in Poulton going back decades, always nice and never nasty according to Nora - always brilliantly pleasant. Rest in peace, Trevor.

Any warm memories of Trevor are most welcome below in the replies and I may use them on the day. Thank you.
