Dedicated to the memory of David Coley

David passed away peacefully at home in Feock, Cornwall, aged 88 years, on 7th December 2022.  A devoted and loving husband to Joy; beloved father to Andrew, James and Lucy.  Adored grandfather to William, Alice, Conor, Sinead, Freddie, Millie and great grandfather to Maddie and Jude

Formerly of Weston Favell, Northampton. David was a very able sportsman, having played rugby for the Northampton Saints, East Midlands and the Barbarians. When not playing rugby, it was cricket, golf, squash, tennis, skiing and latterly sailing after moving to Cornwall.

A modest, self-deprecating, kind and unflinchingly loyal man, with a quiet sense of humour that left an imprint with almost everyone he met.

He will be deeply missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Our dear father, David, thank you for all your love and constant support over the years. You have provided a backbone for the entire family - an unflinching strength for every one of us to lean upon. You joined us in our joys - watching our children, and lately our grandchildren, grow and flourish. Hearing your warm voice and seeing your infectious smile always gave us the knowledge and reassurance we were part of your cherished family….your team! We love and miss you, Andrew and Sue ❤️

Thinking of you today and every day Grandad. Our chief. Head of the Coley tribe, leaving behind an incredible legacy for us all. Honoured to have known you and to have loved you, thank you for everything you enabled us to achieve and for always pushing us to achieve more, you always knew we had no limits and you encouraged us to reach for just that. We will always remember you for your wicked sense of humour, for those long dog walks and every family meal where seconds, thirds, fourths were always on your mind. Thank you for being giving the biggest big bear hugs whenever we needed them and for loving us all dearly. For how proud you were of all of us and for creating wonderful memories with us that we can forever think back to. You are so loved, will miss you always, Alice xx
