In loving memory of John Edward Thurgood, who sadly passed away on 16th July 2025.

Whether you knew John as a family member or friend, we hope you'll be able to join us to share your memories of him, and celebrate the things about him that made you smile. If there's one thing everyone knows about John, it's how much he liked to make people laugh!

We would invite anyone who wishes to do so to share any photos or special memories of John with us - you can do this by leaving a message or uploading a photo to this website. If you'd prefer not to do that, please do contact his daughter Amy on amy.thurgood@gmail.com.

Details of John's funeral service - along with the address and a map - can be found on the right hand side of this page. We'd also like to welcome you all to join us at The Green Man pub after the service, to share our memories of John.

Address details: The Green Man, Longfield Hill, Longfield, Kent, DA3 7AS.
(Parking is available on site).

In lieu of flowers, we would ask that anyone who wishes to please donates to one of two charities who became incredibly important to John - Prostate Cancer UK and Ellenor. You can do so via the Donations boxes on the right hand side of this page. All donations are gratefully received.
