Bristol, UK—It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Neil Allanach, a beloved member of the Bristol Surf Club. Neil, who was only 45 years old, passed away recently, leaving his family, friends, and the community in deep shock.
Neil was a treasured figure in the Bristol Surf Club, known for his kind, welcoming nature and his selfless approach to life. He was always there with a comforting hug and a smile, ready to brighten any day. His presence was synonymous with fun, and those who knew him knew that his company guaranteed a great time.
Neil’s connection with the Bristol Surf Club began around eight years ago. He made his mark early on, winning the Rookie category in the Bristol Surf Competition in 2017. The following year, he proudly acquired his first surfboard, which he fondly named "Excalibar." His commitment to the club extended beyond just surfing, as he took on the role of Beginner Rep in 2018, where his welcoming spirit shone brightly. Even after stepping down from this role, he continued to be a friendly face for new members.
In memory of Neil, the Bristol Surf Club Committee, led by Joseph Stringer, has organized a fundraiser to install a memorial bench at Woolacombe beach, a place dear to the surf club members. The bench will be a tribute to Neil’s enduring spirit and a place where friends can gather to remember him. As of now, £805 has been raised out of the £1,500 goal, with donations coming from those who cherished Neil’s presence, including Simon Ledson and William Duncan.
The outpouring of love and support for Neil’s family is evident in the heartfelt messages shared on social media. Rachel Allanach, Neil’s sister-in-law, expressed her grief, saying the family is still in deep shock over his sudden passing. Friends like Liz Lochness, Sarah Howard, and Hayley Felton have sent their condolences, offering love and strength to the Allanach family during this difficult time.
Neil’s funeral is scheduled for the 27th of August 2024 at 12:30 PM. Those who wish to attend have been encouraged to reach out for further details.
The memory of Neil Allanach will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew him, and the Bristol Surf Club will forever remember him as a kind, caring, and fun-loving individual.
We are deeply saddened by Neil Allanach’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this incredibly challenging time.
