John Byatt and Little Stoke Cricket Club

29 Jun 2017 by Admin Little Stoke

It is with great sadness that Little Stoke heard of the tragic death of John Byatt on Saturday.

John will be known to many as the father of Spencer, Captain of the 1st XI, and Dan who is keeper/batsman for the 2nds and joint-Captain of the Sunday A team. Not surprisingly, John, with his wife Bev, were regulars at club matches and his frequent tweets kept club members and supporters informed about games and results as they happened.

John’s support for the club went well beyond attending matches. His involvement in club fundraising, including organising events such as the 2017 “Sportsman’s Evening”, were key to both raising funds and enhancing the Little Stoke community.

However, most significant was the fact that John was such a friend; always ready to talk to those he met at Little Stoke and equally interested to hear from others. He will be deeply missed and our thoughts are with Bev, Dan and Spencer at this tragic time.

John’s memorial service will take place on Friday 14th July: 10:45 arrival at St Gregory RC Church, 8 Heathcote Road, Longton, Stoke on Trent ST3 2JU.

This will be followed by a service at Bradwell Crematorium, (Family only).

A reception will be held following at Little Stoke Cricket Club, The Sid Jenkins Ground, Uttoxeter Road, Stone ST15 8RA.
