It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our brother, son and uncle Gary Coussens who left us on 12th May, 2021 peacefully in the arms of his family at our home in Lincoln.

He leaves behind three sisters, one brother, nieces, nephews and many many friends. He will be missed greatly.

Gary will leave his flat in Thames Court, Leysdown-on-Sea at 1pm on Friday, 11th June and take one final drive through the hometown he loved so much before being laid to rest at Riverview Natural Burial Ground, Wardwell Lane, Lower Halstow, Kent at 2pm.

Gary’s wish was to be buried with nature. He also asked that everyone wears colour with no black clothing.

Gary was such a popular and friendly gentleman who only ever wanted to make people happy. He achieved this time and time again. He was a keen photographer and had a huge love for music. Those who knew him well will understand that what Gary took an interest in, he studied to perfection. He also had a passion for flying planes, and would often be spotted standing in a field for hours on end flying until the sun went down. Words cannot describe how much he will be missed.

Family flowers only please. All donations will be split between St Barnabas Hospice and Marie Curie, both who cared for Gary in the most incredible way during his final weeks, allowing him to peacefully pass away with the love of his family by his side.

Thinking of you at this time of year when your amazing belief and positivity was for us… you thought about everyone, not yourself, totally giving to others even on the final day. That was you Gary 💜xc

It would have been your 63rd birthday today, but you never acted your age and would have still been messing about and making us laugh. I miss your goodness Gary, and I hope wherever you are you are on the beach, where you loved to be, I always think of you when I go to the sea. Sending all my love to you, Your mad sister Julie 💜x

Very much in my thoughts Gary, can’t believe you have gone - but I know you have - I remember every moment of our last weeks with you, and our last days, approaching soon. Lighting a candle for you - hope you can feel my love in that flame 💜

You are never far from our thoughts, things are happening that Bob and me can hear you laughing about, your infectious laugh. We think about you every day, and sometimes I do things that you said I should do, to stand up for myself. I feel proud when I do, and always thank you. Love and miss you, wish we had had more time, but we will get that one day. Night night bro, always with me xx💜xx
