RIP KEVIN DUNKLEY
n Dunkley ness. He was a fighter, soldier, trooper and warrior.” Kevin himself, before passing away, was quoted as saying; “God knows why he gave me this condition.” As tributes were continuously read out, an almighty cheer rang-out around the large two-storey church as Pastor White added; “A man who never said ‘no,’ Kevin was
handmade by God and it was never over until God said so.” A Co-opted member of the Organisation for Sickle Cell Anaemia Research & Thalassaemia Support (OSCAR Sandwell), in 2010, Dunkley developed a kidney disease, after which he became a rgular dialysis user – yet, he remained his selfless, giving self. Living, happily, longer than the average life-span of a sickle cell sufferer, Kevin lived his life to the full. Farewell Farbes. He was 47. A note has to be made to the first-class, diligent and compassionate service of Goodridge-Milford Funeral Directors, whose service, for the Dunkley family – and friends – was above and beyond expectations. Under the directions of Sharon Goodridge-Milford, with their sheer quality of deliverance – for the funeral guests too - from start, during and after what was a traumatic and emotional service, was made that much more comfortable for those concerned. Farbes would have been proud.
