Tribute to Ian Shrimpton, 1965 - 2024

It’s hard to sum up a lifetime of memories…speedboat trips, walks to the creek, tadpole hunting, picking runner beans and visiting you on your narrow boat to name but a few. You were fun loving and did things on your own terms; your legacy of “go big or go home” will live on in us all. Rest in peace Uncle Ian.

I hope we all did you proud yesterday from the lovely meaning words that were said about you to the music choice we know you would have loved . You will be truly missed but everything we do now we will have your saying in our head , ‘ go big or go home ‘ I’m sorry you felt there wasn’t anything or anyone could say to keep you with us all. 💔 But now we take the comfort your at peace and back again with Nan and Grandad . 💕 I know you’ll be looking down on us with a builder’s cuppa and enjoying life at peace. Rest easy Uncle Ian, untill we meet again . 💙

Tonight I will raise a tot to my old shipmate Shrimps! And I will remember the laughs we had as baby sailors, whilst on board the nuclear submarine HMS Torbay, once a submariner always a submariner! RIP brother

Remembering Ian with great fondness he is now reunited with his dear Mum, Dad and Sister Jennifer. Rest in Peace Ian.

Oh li bro…I miss you….still just waiting for that call. Love you forever. Be at peace now. Big sis 💔x

We made lots of memories with the children when they were little, and we had loads of happy times, so much fun in the caravan and special times spent when we were alone. Rest in Peace Ian, re-united with your beloved Mum and Dad and Todd the dog.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Ian. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
