‘One of life’s good guys’
A Peterborough charity has paid tribute to ‘one of life’s good guys’ who was tragically killed last week.
Aaron Parker was a trustee and founding member of Peterborough charity the Brotherhood Foundation.
The charity was set up in 2019 by friends of Glenn Boocock, who died in June of that year and has helped fund the installation of defibrillators across the city to help save lives. Among the places to have installed one thanks to the Brotherhood Foundation is Parkway Sports and Social Club, where Aaron was head steward.
Aaron and Ian Fovargue, who was also a friend of the charity, were travelling together when they were involved in a crash with a HGV.
In tribute, the Brotherhood Foundation said: “Aaron and one of our other beloved friends, Ian Fovargue, were in a tragic car accident on Friday, with them both being snatched much too soon from their friends and family. We are all still very much bemused
and in a state of shock that we’ve lost more of our beloved brothers.
“Foggy had recently taken Aaron under his wing to help change his career. We know this meant the world to Aaron because he wanted to change his career because of the impact covid has had on the hospitality sector.
“Foggy was a true gent and had an infectious laugh and personality. Another one of the good guys who has been taken from us but will never be forgotten!
“Aaron Parker, was a trustee of the Brotherhood Foundation and instrumental in forming this charity. He had such a caring nature and with his wholehearted approach to life we created something that we are all very proud of in memory of our beloved Glenn.
“For those of you who had the pleasure to know Aaron, you will know he would do anything for anyone at the drop of a hat, he really was one of life’s good guys
“As you’ll know his family and kids meant the absolute world to him, so if there is anything you can do to ease the financial burden we know it will help that little bit.
“Aaron’s family have set up a GoFund page, so anything that can be raised we know would be greatly appreciated.
“We would like to offer our sincerest of condolences to both Aaron’s and Ian’s families and friends.’’
A message on the GoFund page reads: “Hi everybody, it’s Aaron’s mum, brother, family instead of sending flowers and money going to charity we have decided to raise this money for his funeral for his memory and his children!! FLY HIGH SON & BROTHER!!”
