Mark was a big figure at the club for over 25 years, proudly representing the 1st XV, 2nd XV, and Vets teams. His passion for rugby and larger-than-life personality left a lasting impression on everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. Mark’s sense of humour, infectious personality, and passion to the game have enriched the lives of so many within the PRFC community.

To honour Mark’s incredible life, we would like to invite everyone to attend a funeral service and celebratory wake on Tuesday, 11th February 2025.

Funeral Service

Time: 2pm
Location: The Sustainability Centre, Droxford Road, East Meon, Hants GU32 1HR

The service will take place in a beautiful woodland setting. Please ensure you wear suitable footwear as the ground may be uneven.

Celebratory Wake

Time: From 4pm
Location: Petersfield Rugby Club, Penns Place, Hants GU31 4EP

Mark loved rugby and the colour red, so we encourage attendees to wear something colourful or a rugby shirt, avoiding black or brown clothing.

Please contact club chairman Stuart Barden through this link if you wish to attend.

In lieu of flowers, Mark’s family has requested donations to two charities that provided outstanding care during his final days:

MacMillan Midhurst
The Rosemary Foundation
Donations can be made via this link

Mark will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Our thoughts are with his family—Sarah, Alice, and William—during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, Mark. You will forever remain a part of the Petersfield RFC family.
