In memory of Jay McLaren

Jay McLaren, one of the most passionate, selfless and kind-hearted young man that many of us have ever known, the captain and joker of our football club was suddenly and tragically taken from all of us in early hours of 23rd December 2017 in Sunderland. Jay’s vibrant character in life was infectious, he touched so many and we are completely heartbroken.
He was out with his football team mates on Friday night in his typical jovial mood and he had recently spoken to his fiancée on the phone saying it was a good night out and he was looking forward to Christmas Day.

However, he never made it home.

He was only 28 years old. He leaves behind his fiancée, his mum, siblings, family and a multitude of friends, but most heartbreaking is that he leaves behind his 2 year old daughter. We want to ease the financial burden that comes with losing someone so suddenly. We have to say goodbye and are hoping to raise funds to go towards the cost of his funeral. This memorial fund will hopefully help to take care of this and perhaps help establish a small nest egg for his daughters future. Any donation, no matter how small is greatly appreciated. Although broken, we thank you with all of our hearts. We miss you Jay, from all your team mates at Kings Arms FC. RIP Mac.
