David Garratty (Carats)

Suddenly on 17th March 2019, David aged 52 years of Clayton-le-Moors.  The devoted and much loved fiancé of Nicola, loving dad of Megan, Rowan, Sam, Tamzin, much loved son of Sheila and the late Bill, a dear brother, grandad, relative and friend to many.

David loved his work as a support worker at the Autistic Society in Gt Harwood.

Bass player of the Inciders, David loved playing with the group all over the north-west and had a collection of guitars. Nicola was his groupie and the family enjoyed nights out going to watch him.  A talented musician, David loved his music and was well-known with lots of friends.

A lover of the great outdoors, David liked walking with his son Rowan in the countryside and especially up Pendle Hill. He was also a former boxing coach at Clayton ABC, where he won many medals.  It was a hobby he started when he was young and continued into adulthood.

Above all, David was a devoted family man.
