mark oddy

Mark is honestly the best dad that me ciaran and kayla could’ve ever asked for and a loving husband to my mum keeley. after his first diagnosis in 2018 he fought on like an absolute warrior and stayed strong throughout his battle. although many people would be completely ruined by the awful disease he kept his cheerful attitude and carried on making us smile and living his life. dad, i miss you so fucking much. you’ve always been the bright sun in the sky for all of us even when we knew you were struggling. i don’t think i will ever be ready to say goodbye to you but i know that you’re in a better place now (probably at the caravan) making other people’s days brighter too. you are the most inspiring, helpful and loving dad i could’ve ever asked for and i wish i did more to show you how much i cared and i will never forgive myself for that. we will celebrate your life as will everybody else that knows who the real marky is. i don’t know how you kept it together so well the last few months and i know it has been hard on you i would never have been able to put a brave face on like you did and carry on as normal. i wish you were still here to see me graduate, kayla go to prom and ciaran take the reins of the business. please keep watching over us and come to see us to kick us back into gear like you always did. you will never ever be replaced and nobody could ever measure up to the man you are. you battled on so well and i know you’re at peace now and grown your wings, i’ll always be grateful for everything you did for us all. you stuck by mum from when you were 14 and truly showed us how it feels to be loved and how to love others. i love you so fucking much dad, sleep well we love you so much and we’ll all miss you!
