Seventy heartfelt tributes have been paid to lost loved ones from around Devon in this week's death and funeral notices. Among them is Mat Stickland from Exeter, described as a "much loved and missed brother" who will never be forgotten.
Every week, we carry out the longstanding tradition of announcing the deaths of cherished members of our community. Last week, the family of Michael Muttram announced he had died at the age of 39 and said he would be "deeply missed by all who knew and loved him."
The funeral notices are first published on funeral-notices.co.uk, where they remain online permanently. This provides loved ones with a space to add their own tributes, photos and donations, should they wish to do so.
The most up-to-date death and funeral notices in Devon can be found here. Below are the notices from earlier this week:

In Memoriams
Barbara And Karol GORCZYNSKI (Purchase)
(Purchase) They never looked for praises They were never ones to boast They just went on quietly working For the ones they loved the most. Their dreams were seldom spoken Their wants were very few And most of the time their worries Also went unspoken too. They were there .... a firm foundation Through all our storms of life Sturdy hands to hold on to In times of stress and strife. Two true friends we could turn to When times were good or bad One of our greatest blessings Our loved/missed Mum and Dad. Remembered always, Miecia and Reg, Christopher, Laura, Dominic, Victoria and all the family
