It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Turk, unexpectedly but peacefully at his home on Saturday, 8th August 2026. Dearly loved son of Sue and the late Keith, loved brother and brother-in-law of Katie and Gav, and loved uncle of James. Beloved and devoted partner, soul mate and best friend of Mel, dearly loved steppy of Hugo and Harvey, and furdad and bestie of Chocco. He brought so much joy to so many people, a true and special friend to so many, a legend in his own right, and he will be deeply missed. Rest in peace, Turk. A La Perchoine xx. Following a private cremation, please join us to celebrate the legend that is Turk, at St Pierre Park Hotel, The Fontaine Suite on Thursday, 22nd October 2026 at 2:00pm. Tributes start at 2:30pm. No formal mourning clothes required; just bring your best stories and a thirst. Everyone knew him, everyone loved him, and 51 years wasn't nearly enough time with him. Space in the suite is capped by the venue, so please arrive early to raise a glass and give him the send-off he deserves.
