The Ian James Devo Tribute Fund

Ian contracted Meningitis on 4th January 2009 and after a courageous battle, he lost his fight on 8th January.

Ian was a competitive character in many aspects of his life; sports, silly games, drinking and eating, but mostly he was a dedicated partner and father to his 5 children.

He leaves a gaping void in many lives as a result of his passing, but also some wonderful memories.

27th March - The memories continue. It would have been Ian's 40th birthday.

Fundraising is continuing in earnest in Ian's memory following a sporting theme. Friends and team-mates queued to take part in a charity rugby match on 20th March. Take a look at the Gallery of pictures from the event.

Words cannot express the sadness we feel. You were one of the most enthusuastic men we ever knew (sometimes a little bit too much!!!!). BUT you were a most generous & honest man & so, so proud of Annette & your boys. This is a tragic time & our thoughts are with you & your lovely family. Life is not fair. We still cannot believe we will not see you again. In our thoughts, Chris & Fee. xx
