Christopher “Chris” Philip Platt

Peacefully, on October 8, 2025, with his loving family, aged 68 years. Dearly loved partner of Irene Hayward, loved stepfather of Amy, and Niven, loved Grandad of Maisie, and Lily. Much loved brother, brother-in-law, uncle, and friend to many.

I’ll whisper my song, when you feel the pain, because your heart grieves, please know I am not lost – I am part of the sea.
