Lee Schofield

Hi my name is Alison, I'm the youngest sister to Lee, we grew up in a loving family and all very close, Lee had some upsetting times for himself including a divorce, yet another chance with someone else whom he had a 4th child with. He list his mum to dementia which was very hard for him and to cut a long story short, lost his home too, where he found a life on the streets and slept in a tent. Nobody could offer him their home as we all had families at the time. He got through the lockdown in 2020, he had rough times with his mental health too, he had made alot of friends while sleeping rough but we always saw him even though the streets were what he would be familiar with. He eventually found a bedsit and was living there where he would be safe from the life of the streets. His father then was diagnosed with dementia too, he would visit even though he found this tough after losing his mum. On Christmas day 2024, my sister received a call that he had died at a friend's flat that he was supposed to be having Christmas dinner at and sharing the day with him. This has been a huge shock for us all and now have to plan a funeral when he had no money.
