GaryBIRCHMOREGary, of Perrancombe, Perranporth, so very sadly passed away unexpectedly at home on the 18th June 2026, aged 65.

Originally from London, Gary and his wife Rachel moved to Cornwall over 25 years ago, and opened 'Rebecca's Fudge Shop in Perranporth in memory of their daughter. He was a well known, keen and vocal fan of West Ham United Football Club within the community!

He will be missed by his many friends and family; but none more than his loving wife Rachel, and cherished son Michael, daughter-in-law Sophie, and Grandon's Joey and Freddie.

Gary's funeral service will be held at St Michaels Church, Perranporth, TR6 0HG, on Monday 13th July 2026 at 2:30pm. Smart appropriate attire please, but please wear something with a splash of colour if you would like.

Preceding his funeral service, the funeral cortege will travel along St Pirans Road, pausing briefly at Rebecca's Fudge Shop at approximately 2.10pm, to allow for his fellow local business owners and their employees to pay their respects.

Following the service, all are warmly invited to return to The Green Parrot (Wetherspoons) to raise a glass in memory of Gary.

Family flowers only please, but donations in memory of Gary will be to benefit The Brain Tumour Charity. Donations may be received by retiring collection, online or sent to the Funeral Director at the address below.

All enquiries to the Funeral Director - David Maddern of CFS - Watters, Court & Maddern, Lemon Villas, Lemon St, Truro, TR1 2NU. Telephone 01872 228900

Gary, we were so shocked to hear the news of your passing.. you became a firm friend as you and your family went through some of life’s hardest moments, yet you brought laughter, friendship and kindness wherever you went. Our son has such happy memories of talking football with you, and we will always remember your generous spirit.

This donation is made in your memory and in honour of beautiful Rebecca, whose courage touched mine and so many other lives. May it help bring hope to other families in the future.

With all our love, thoughts and deepest condolences to Rachel, Michael & the family.

Petrina, Steve, Luke, Rochelle.. & all our family
