Michael GAY
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Michael Gay, a beloved husband, father, and grandfather. He left us after a short illness at home surrounded by loved ones on the 31st January 2026. His loss leaves an irreplaceable void in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. Mike was a devoted family man whose greatest joy came from being surrounded by those he loved. He was the cherished husband of the late Cathy, with whom he built a beautiful life filled with love and laughter. He was the proud father of Kelly and Mandy, whom he supported unconditionally and delighted in hearing about their successes and achievements. He was a devoted grandfather to Lara and Dylan who brought him immense happiness, and he treasured every moment spent with them. He welcomed his sons-in-law, Darren and Jason, into the family with open arms. A retired postman, Mike enjoyed attending his Friday club with former colleagues, loved spending time in Tenby and enjoyed watching cowboy and western films. Mike's warmth, generosity, and deep devotion to his family will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Though his time with us was cut short, the love he shared and the memories he created will live on forever in our hearts.
