Dedicated to the memory of Simon

Simon died suddenly on Sunday 11th December, whilst walking on Dow Crag, Coniston, in the Lake District. He was in a favourite place, doing what he loved, on a beautiful blue sky day overlooking Morecambe Bay.

He is treasured by his family, friends and colleagues, and will be missed by so many people. He was one of the genuinely good guys, and his death leaves a gaping hole in our lives.

Simon was always authentic and showed us all what it means to be true to yourself and your values.

Three organisations have been chosen to which donations in memory of Simon can be made: Coniston Mountain Rescue Team who went to his aid; Leeds Community Foundation, as a legacy of the many years he spent working in economic development; and Sustrans, because traffic-free paths for everyone was an important issue for him. Donations can be made via this page, or by contacting the charity direct.

This page has been set up as tribute to Simon, please do add your anecdotes, stories and photos so it can be a collection of lasting memories of our lovely man.

 

Sarah, Elinor and Amy.

So sorry to learn of this tragedy. I've only just been told. I wanted to send my condolences to Sarah and the girls, on behalf of my late Mum, June Fallon. She was very fond of Simon + Sarah + the lovely girls. I know she would want me to send our heartfelt love + thoughts at this tragic, very sad news. The Fallon Family xxxx

I think of Simon often as i try to make sense of impact information to do our job of raising collective funds for communities .. he was genius at breezing through complicated sets of data and converting them into information and trends that you could visualise ... easy to digest. He was also genuinely nice and thoughtful. I am so glad he agreed to join our new impact subcommittee. He kept us realistic and in track... how are we going to use the data we planned to collect? And what would it add? I still can't believe he's gone. Our lives are so much the poorer. Sincere condolences to his family. From Leeds Community Foundation team and trustees.

I am so sad to hear of Simon's passing. I knew Simon from my early years in and around Brookhouse. We were in the Scouts together and I remember doing the Yorkshire 3 Peaks with him. We camped overnight behind the pub at Ribblehead. Looking at the photo memories, I can see we shared a passion for the outdoors, skiing, walking and cycling. We also played in the Scouts 5 aside tournament at Lancaster University which we won. My condolences to family and friends.
