Anthony “Tony” Parkinson, aged 57 years, passed away surrounded by the love of his family.
Tony was the beloved husband and best friend of Angela, a cherished and proud dad to Chloe, Mani, Max, Charlotte and Alicia, and a devoted “Pop Pops” to Theo, Luca and Arabella. He was a much loved brother, uncle, cousin and a dear friend to many whose lives were brighter for knowing him.
Above all else, Tony’s world was his family. He took great joy in every moment spent together, whether it was sharing laughter at home or cheering from the sidelines. He had a true love of rugby, especially watching Max play — a source of immense pride. He also had a deep love of music and enjoyed the simple pleasure of good company, good conversation, and a glass of his favourite whiskey.
Tony will be remembered for his warmth, loyalty, humour and the unwavering love he gave so freely. His presence filled a room, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him.
The funeral service will be held at Oakworth Crematorium, Wide Ln, Oakworth, BD22 0RJ on Thursday 5th March at 11:30am.
Family and friends are warmly invited to continue sharing memories and raise a glass — perhaps of Tony’s favourite whiskey — at Cullingworth Conservative Club, 21-23 Station Rd, Cullingworth, Bradford BD13 5HN.
The family kindly asks that, in honour of Tony, those attending wear a splash of yellow.
Forever loved, forever missed.

David Braid, aged 61 years, passed away 3rd January 2026 whilst on holiday in Tenerife.
David dear son of Colin and Pauline, a cherished father to James and Emma, and a beloved brother to John and Janet. He was a much-loved brother-in-law to Tracy and Tim, and a proud uncle to Adam, Connor, Chloe, Holly, and Jack.
David adored his dog Ghost, aka Dave, who rarely left his side. He enjoyed Formula 1, a well-earned pint with his pals, and had a lifelong love of dogs — especially bulldogs. Holidays, particularly Tenerife, were one of his favourite ways to relax. His work was extremely important to him, something he took great pride in and he will be greatly missed by his colleagues at Roco Truck Bodies.
A quiet man with an excellent dry sense of humour, David never needed to say much — but when he did, it was usually worth listening to. His wit was subtle, perfectly timed, and often delivered with little more than a look.
A funeral service will be held at Shay Grange Crematorium on Wednesday 11th February at 10:30am.
Family flowers only, please. Donations in memory of David may be made to Good Life Dog Rescue. A donation box will be available as you leave the Chapel.

David will be deeply missed and fondly remembered — in the quiet moments, the knowing smiles, and the stories that don’t need telling twice.
