Desmond was a big family man who was married to Jane who he had 3 beautiful daughters with; Sophie, Natalie and Leanna who gave him 5 amazing grandchildren. Arriving in England from his native Guyana at the age of 2 where he was one of 25 siblings, Desmond made an impactful life in Bristol as an engineer, business owner and popular member of the football community where he infamously shouted “Go on my son” from the sidelines in his football management years. 18 months ago he received the devastating news he had Pancreatic Cancer. He was a big strong man who fought a good fight, and even beat death last summer, however after Christmas his health went downhill and on Tuesday 26th February he said enough was enough. He bowed out on his own terms to a new life, but his spirit lives on in all of us.

Today I said good bye to a man who I was so proud to call a friend. Des was a Prince amongst men, he had the God given personality always prepared to help, give advice and stand by you in times of trouble. The world has lost a true gent, God bless you Des rip x
The Mighty Lion! That was Des B sleeps tonight, God bless him and all is pride!
You was one of the few men on this planet, that I admired, respected and loved.
You will be missed, love from your friend Jake
Forever in our hearts, your love and support Uncle Desmond, will forever stay with me as just one of the many things that made you a great and favored Uncle. You called my mother "Mommy" long before I arrived on the scene and that has always made you my honorary big "brother" as well, Your loss will be felt by many for a long time but Aunt Jane and the girls can always count on us to be there whenever the need arises. Rest in peace, Uncle Des.
Can't really put into words what you mean to me. Rest in peace big man. Rest well knowing that you are loved by so, so many. We got your beautiful wife and girls. Always. Love you.
