One of my best friends David Needham sadly passed away after bravely battling cancer. I had the pleasure of working and getting to know Dave over the last 20 plus years.
He taught me and many other chefs so much in the kitchen and in life,
I had some great memories and laughs with him over the years.
I will miss you loads my Friend, Thanks for everything Dave,
Top Chef, Great Guy and best friend!
RIP Big man

Thank you my Darling for all the love and kindness over the years . A special thank you for making me laugh every day xx
You told me 15 years ago being with a Chef would be a difficult life.
You have only been gone a week but I know life without my Chef will be much more difficult .
Love and miss you always

David, a wonderful man. Such a sad loss. As a family Seth, the kids and I have been so fortunate to have you and your positivity in our lives for the 15 years you've been with Mum. Our thoughts are with her, Casey and Abbie
Rest in Peace

My incredible Dad, I’m still in disbelief that you’re no longer here. A man who was an inspiration to so many and was moved greater than words can say.
I’ll miss being able to pop in and have a chat with you and your messages and positivity that always kept me going.
Memories of summers at grandma and grandads, visiting numerous places and your great love of music will stick with me forever.
Rest easy Dad, love you loads,
