Marc Hitchings Final Journey

Marc Hitchings sadly passed away on the 20th of March.

He was impossible to describe in words, a true legend, amazing dad, brother, son, husband, and friend to many.

He strongly battled a long-standing illness and the significant challenges that came with this, and through it all continued to be the man we all know, a face of kindness and an inspiration to anyone who met him.

On the 28th of February, Marc received his results from a bone marrow biopsy, showing sadly he had Acute Myeloid Leukaemia and would need to undergo chemotherapy.

Whilst awaiting further results to explore which treatments would be available to him Marc took ill and was unfortunately admitted into hospital on the 7th of March.

Within days Marc’s health significantly deteriorated and was moved into ICU.

He tried his upmost, as he always did, through his life, to put up a good fight with the help of the nursing staff but sadly, he never returned home to his family and passed away.

Marc will always be remembered and missed by so many people.

There was only one Marc Hitchings, he was a true character, everyone enjoyed being around him and people could always turn to him.

We would like to support Joanne and her family with the cost of the funeral service at this difficult time to give Marc the best send-off that he truly deserves.

Marc passed away just 10 weeks following the death of his younger brother Chrissy, making this battle yet more difficult for his family.

What Joanne and her family have gone through is just unimaginable and there is no way any one can prepare for the losses they have faced.

No amount of money can replace Marc, but contributions can take away a small part of the stress that comes with unexpected loss and any amount would be appreciated and valued more than you know.

We will always cherish the memories; we will all miss you.

Rest in peace Marc. xxxx
