Tributes paid to loving grandad following fatal Wirral crash
The 78-year-old died after the incident on the 27th September.
The family of a man who died following a fatal crash in the Wirral have described him as a charismatic man, who was full of life, love, and laughter, left us, his family and friends, and this earth, far too soon.
78-year-old David Ashcroft died after the incident on the 27th September in Pensby after reportedly suffering a medical episode behind the wheel.
David’s children Anne-Marie, Thomas, Victoria and Georgina said: “David, a handsome, dashing, and charismatic man, who was full of life, love, and laughter, left us, his family and friends, and this earth, far too soon.
“David, who was born in Liverpool, England, went on to live in Canada and the U.S., later returning to the U.K., where he lived on the Wirral, and in Calderstones, near Allerton in Liverpool, his final resting place. David began his career working in engineering on the Empress of Canada (ocean liner), and later, as a successful company director in manufacturing, import and export and property development.
"David absolutely adored his family, and friends, with whom he found joy in the simplest of moments, whether in spending quality time with his loved ones, dancing the night away or in sharing a good laugh.
“His smile, warmth, and kindness touched the hearts of everyone that would have the good fortune of knowing him. David’s sudden passing has left an immense void in our lives; however, we will forever hold dear the memories, the love that he gave to us, and his guiding light. And, although we will miss him deeply, we find solace in knowing that his spirit is with us, with unbroken continuity, and that his legacy of love and joy lives on, comforting and inspiring us each day.
