Page story

Updated March 2025: It’s almost been a year since we lost Dad and we want to continue to honour his memory so we are taking on a Tough Mudder this May to remember him and continue to raise vital funds for diabetes UK. Gary Rose, a beloved family man and dear friend to many, sadly passed away Sunday 24th March, aged 64, two days shy of his 65th birthday. He loved his holidays, Tottenham Hotspur and a DIY project. He always made time for friends and family and will be remembered fondly for all the time he spent around the house and garden pottering to keep busy. At the age of 11, Gary was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and remained passionate about medical advances and treatment throughout his life. This early introduction into the human body and science inspired him to do a degree in physiology and later become a biology teacher. He will be greatly missed but never more than a thought away. He lives on through his family and all the friends who share a memory of him. In lieu of flowers the family ask you to consider donating to Diabetes UK and help continue the advances in medical research and allow scientists to push for the next treatment breakthrough and speeding up the progress towards a cure.
