Billy Kerslake - A son, brother, and best friend

Hi, my name is Tom and I am an older brother to Mollie, and a son to some amazing parents - Natalie, and Timothy.

This is an utterly heartbreaking and devastating message that we thought we would never have to write - and a message we shouldn't need to. On the evening of Thursday 23rd November 2023, my younger brother and best friend Billy was unexpectedly taken from us far too soon.

He was doing his usual things, simply enjoying himself with friends, and was involved in a car crash, in which he was killed.

Billy was only 19 years old, but the impact he made during his short time on this earth was absolutely unmatched. He was the glue between friends and groups of friends, the shoulder we all knew we could cry on, and the joyful laugh that would light up a dark room.

As believers in Christ, and in knowing the strong faith that Billy had, we have the comfort of knowing that he truly is in the greatest place now, and we will see him again. He really is enjoying the best foods, the finest wines, and is partying just like he always loved.

Billy's funeral will be held on 11th December 2023 and is the main reason this page has been set up. Any donations, big or small would be an incredible way to help us get through without having another thing to be concerned about. They will also help towards enabling all processes, before and after the funeral to run as smoothly as possible.
