Frederick Barry Ward

“Gone Fishing”

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our much-loved Barry, who sadly passed away on 18th October 2026, aged 73 years, at George Eliot Hospital.

A devoted husband, a loving dad, a cherished grandad, father-in-law, brother and uncle. Barry was a special part of so many lives and will be remembered with love, laughter and fond memories. His kindness, warmth and the love he gave to his family will stay in our hearts forever.

Though our hearts are broken, we take comfort in the wonderful memories we shared and the love that will never fade.

Barry’s funeral service will take place on Friday 27th November 2026 at 3.15pm at Sutton Coldfield Crematorium.

Family flowers only, please. Donations in Barry’s memory, in aid of George Eliot Hospital – Elizabeth Ward, would be gratefully appreciated and may be made via: frederick-barry-ward.muchloved.com

Following the service, family and friends are warmly invited to join us at Wood End Club, where we can come together to share memories, stories and celebrate Barry’s life.

Forever loved, forever missed, and never forgotten.

Gone fishing, but never far from our hearts
