David MichaelCLARKE('Dave') It is with sadness the family announce that Dave passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on 9th July 2026, aged 75 years. Beloved husband of the late Deb, loving and dedicated dad of Craig, Donna, Marie, Emma and the late Clare, cherished grandad of Liam, Ryan, Beth, Blake, Alice, Adam, Ali and Aisha and great grandad of Harry and Astrid. Dave will be fondly remembered as a local football referee and will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

A service to celebrate Dave's life will be held at Grimsby Crematorium on Thursday 30th July at 2.15pm. Those attending are asked to wear whatever they feel comfortable in.

Dave is resting at Kettle Funeralcare where floral tributes will be gratefully received or if so desired donations in Dave's memory may be given to The Spina Bifida Association. There will be a donations box in the gardens of remembrance following the service.
