David Mayes
We have been left in shock this evening of the tragic news that Arbroath fan David Mayes has passed away at the age of just 22.
David John Mayes, 22 who had epilepsy, was a Lichtie after growing up in Scotland and attending matches at Gayfield before moving to South Wales 5 years ago where he followed Swansea City.
David has always kept up with the results of Arbroath and was normally one of the first supporters to like our Facebook posts.
David leaves behind his 2 year old daughter, Sophie Leigh Mayes and his loving girlfriend Mair Reynolds. They met each other at Neath College 5 years ago.
David also leaves behind a large family and his brother Robert Mayes.
David was always making people laugh and always made people smile and was Mair’s soulmate.
A huge football fan, he would watch any game but loved Arbroath, Swansea City and Arsenal and Scotland – David was proud to be Scottish.
Tributes have been paid from Swansea City FC fans and former players.
Everyone at Arbroath FC is sending their thoughts and condolences to David’s family, especially brother Rob, Girlfriend Mair and his daughter Sophie Leigh
Rest in Peace David, Gone too soon.
