A tragic incident has claimed the life of a young man who fell from a building roof while working. Alfie Taylor, a 21-year-old individual from Blackpool, suffered a severe brain injury after the fall. Despite medical efforts at the Royal Preston Hospital, he succumbed to his injuries following multiple surgeries.
Known as a devoted Blackpool FC supporter, Alfie is fondly remembered as a warm-hearted person with a captivating smile. The community plans to pay tribute to him during the 21st minute of the Blackpool and Leyton Orient match this weekend.
Following the heartbreaking news, a GoFundMe page was established by Dawn Wilson to support Alfie’s family. Described as kind and humorous, Alfie’s generosity extended even in his passing as he chose to be an organ donor.
Messages of condolences and memories flooded social media platforms from friends and acquaintances. The fundraiser launched to provide Alfie a fitting farewell has already raised over £13,000 in a short period. The organizer emphasized the importance of supporting the family during this challenging time and invited contributions, no matter the size.
