Jon was the Musical Director at Mansfield Palace Theatre for several years, and I had the privilege of working with him on many pantomimes during that time. This year would have been no different, but tragically, Jon passed away suddenly in October at the age of just 43.

As a fellow performer, I know that payments for gigs often come after the work is completed. Unfortunately, Jon wasn't able to finish this year’s Christmas pantomime, a 7-week job that included months of preparation, leaving his family with a significant financial loss. This, combined with the expenses of a funeral, is an immense burden, especially so close to Christmas.

Jon was a proud Mansfield man who leaves behind a loving wife, Cat, and their two young children. In light of this, I’m asking for your support to help ease the financial pressure on his family, allowing them to grieve without the added worry of finances during this difficult time.

Any contribution, big or small, would be greatly appreciated and will go directly to Jon’s wife, Cat. Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity.
