Craig Shipley

After the biggest battle, our brave Dad sadly passed away on Tuesday the 15th of June. A true soldier from start to finish. His strength and love for all of us really was unwavering throughout all this, and he will forever be the strongest man we will ever know. Our beautiful Mum, whom Dad adored, was his rock throughout and she fought and cared relentlessly for him particularly over the last 18 months. Our babies are heartbroken, as we all are, that their hero had to leave us, but these 3 are just like their amazing, caring Grandad and are strong. They made his heart burst and belly laugh. Dad’s Mum, our Gran, shaped him and we will forever be thankful for the wonderful man ‘her boy’ became. We love you so very much Dad, watch over us and keep shining bright. Our Dad, our strength, our everything - Craig Howard Shipley 25th November 1958 - 15th June 2021.
