PILKINGTON, Brian Laurence. Passed away peacefully on 21st June 2026 surrounded by loved ones, aged 74. Dearly loved husband and partner in crime of Kaye and a much loved father of Jason and Tracey, grandfather of Caleb, Leah, Arahan and Yono and great grandfather of Ardie and Bean (not yet born). Loved and respected by all who knew him. Lived a full and adventurous life with no regrets, spent his life giving to the community and, in lieu of flowers, donations to Totara Hospice would be appreciated.

A private cremation has taken place and his ashes will be buried with his family as per his wishes, there will not be a funeral service but there will be a memorial at a later date. "Roaring engines and open skies, A quiet man, both strong and wise. Raise a bourbon, soft and slow He rides ahead where we'll all go"
