Toby Barraclough

Dear friends, family, and loved ones,

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the devastating news of the passing of our beloved Toby Barraclough. Toby faced a long and difficult battle with illness. Tragically, this illness claimed his life last week, leaving us heartbroken but profoundly grateful for the time we had with him.

Toby touched the lives of so many with his humour (often outrageously dark), his quick wit, and his kindness. Whether through his music, his friendship, or simply his presence, Toby left an incredible mark on those who were fortunate enough to know him.

We have been deeply moved by the outpouring of love and support in the form of messages, calls, and memories shared by those who cared for Toby. On behalf of his family, especially his mother Margaret, thank you for these beautiful tributes. They are a true testament to the extraordinary person Toby was and the love he inspired in others.

Now, we are reaching out for your help to give Toby the farewell he deserves. We want to celebrate his life in a way that honours his memory and brings together those who loved him. If you are able, please consider contributing to help us fund Toby’s funeral. Any amount, big or small, will mean so much to his family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for keeping Toby in your hearts.
