Tribute to Neil Duxbury: A Pillar of the Hadnall Community

It is with deep sadness and a profound sense of gratitude that we remember Neil Duxbury, a true pillar of the Hadnall community. For decades, Neil's unwavering dedication, generosity, and spirit enriched the lives of everyone around him, leaving a legacy that will be cherished for years to come.

Neil was much more than just a member of our village; he was an inspiration to all who had the privilege of knowing him. His decades-long service as a governor of Hadnall Primary CE School shaped the educational journeys of countless young minds, always striving to create the best environment for children to grow and thrive. His commitment extended beyond the school gates, as an active councillor on the Hadnall Parish Council, where his leadership and guidance shaped the future of the village.

Neil's passion for community continued through his involvement in the Hadnall Village Hall Committee, ensuring that this vital space remained a place of gathering, support, and celebration for all. He was also a cherished member of the Hadnall Ramblers, where his love for the outdoors was shared with friends and neighbours, forging strong bonds along the way.

Neil's presence was a guiding light in Hadnall. His contributions—whether through quiet acts of kindness or his steadfast work in various community roles—will forever echo through the hearts of those who knew him. Though he may no longer be with us, his legacy of compassion, service, and unity will continue to inspire future generations.

Neil Duxbury will be sadly missed but never forgotten, as his spirit lives on in the community he cared for so deeply.

Sarah Jane Parker, Chair of Hadnall Parish Council
