Southport Cycling Club Announcement

It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the unexpected passing of David Miller.

Dave was on a cycling trip in Spain and tragically passed away while there.

From the information we have received, it appears he passed away due to natural causes.

Our sincerest condolences go to his family during this incredibly difficult time.

Once Dave has been repatriated and his family has had time to process this loss, we will share any details regarding arrangements.

An obituary will follow in due course.

If you would like to share any thoughts or contribute to the obituary, please feel free to pass them on.

Yours sincerely,
Eddie O’Brien
Chair, Southport Cycling Club
