Declan Collier 1996-2023

In the early hours of Friday 7th of April 2023, Declan sadly took his own life. We are beyond devastated, confused, distraught, heartbroken, the list goes on.

Father to Jake, Brother to Joshua, Poppy and Amy. Nephew to Gary & Emma, Grandson to Fran, Partner to Cate and Son to Kellie & Steven.

Dec impacted the lives of every single person who has the pleasure of meeting him. He inspired and gave confidence to many riders at the skatepark- big or small. From Tailwhips to Footjams, 540° Flairs to Inwards, Double Backflips to Hang 5’s, he did it all. But he still couldn’t Manual

Dec was never one to ask for help, he silently suffered as many men do. He laughed the loudest, was a wizz on guitar and dominated a game of COD all while battling severe depression.

We are looking to raise a little bit of money to help towards funeral costs & supporting Jake for these challenging years ahead.
