Reuben Dossett

Reuben was a positive, curious, handsome, resilient and thoughtful young man. He brought us so much joy, we love him more than words can say and miss him every second. A generous, loving son and brother who was a great role model (most of the time!).

Although Reuben only lived 19 years, he managed to fit in a lifetime of memories, always prioritising time spent with friends and family. He loved many things; wildlife, France, Geography, fine food, tennis, skiing, driving, films (esp. Star Wars), Lego, music, cooking everything from homemade pasta to tapas and profiteroles!

Reuben was diagnosed with a rare soft tissue sarcoma in January 2019 and throughout several cycles of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery and immunotherapy he always remained positive and never lost his smile.

Charity links in memory of Reuben are in the 'about' section below - Reuben was passionate about WWF and the project linked to his fund raising is for "Planting Hope" replanting seagrass in Dale (where we had a lovely family holiday) to restore habitats and remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Sarcoma UK is helping others like Reuben to have better outcomes.
