Funeral for Devan Charles Liggins

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Devan Liggins. He passed away peacefully at UHCW Hospital with his family at his bedside on Tuesday 2nd June. Beloved husband to Kath, much loved Dad to Joanne, Ange and Darren and much loved and respected father in law to Keith and Ian and treasured grandad to Callum, Finley, Cameron and Euan. We would prefer flowers for Dad from family if they wish to and if anyone wishes to donate in memory of Devan Liggins to Kidney Care Uk which is a charity close to our hearts.

Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep I am a thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints on snow I am the sunlight on ripened grain I am the gentle Autumn rain When you awaken in the mornings hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight I am the soft stars that shine at night Do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there, I did not die Poem by Mary Elizabeth Frye Remembering good times together Kev

Thanks for being a great elder brother. I had you as my 'Best Man' for a reason. You were always ready to lend a hand or give encouragement. In a negative situation you could always find a positive, a unique talent.

Uncle Kev had some memories of fun & laughter in my working days with you, you had a hand in making me see sense & grow up to be the man I am today ❤️

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.

Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
