Michael Costello sadly passed away on 1 December 2021 after his battle with pancreatic cancer.

Michael always would say, never be sad, always look for the positives in any situation, and smile, always smile.

When he was diagnosed, he said he didn't want it to be in vain, and that he wanted to support research into finding ways to detect pancreatic cancer early, with the 5 year survival rate being less than 9%. 

To honour Michaels' memory, we ask that you listen to his words, and look at the positive. 

In lieu of giving flowers, please donate to aid research in diagnosing pancreatic cancer early.

It's such a cruel disease because a lack of symptoms means that all too often it is not diagnosed sufficiently soon. Please accept my condolences at this difficult time.
