Martin Joseph Reilly

On the morning of Tuesday the 31st of October Martin Joseph Reilly sadly passed away.

During Martins life he frequently raised money for charities such as cancer research by going from long brown hair to 0.5 all over after one of his sons were diagnosed at a young age. After being diagnosed with prostate cancer himself he took it upon himself to try and help men all over the country, frequently seen at football stadiums all over the county with his bucket in hand. He also raised money whilst working abroad in multiple countries hosting different events.

So following in his footsteps we will be raising money ourselves and we're seeing if you could help us.

The last few years of Martins life he suffered from Frontotemporal dementia also known as FTD which is a rare from of dementia as well as going through this he was diagnosed with stage four tongue and throat cancer which he passed away from.

We welcome everyone to join us to celebrate his life on Monday the 27th of November at 11:30 am at Colchester crematorium (Mersea road, Colchester CO2 8RU) and the wake will be held at The Britannia (42 Meyrick Crescent, Colchester CO2 7QY)
