49 year old Gordon Riddiough, a 'larger than life' dad of two Ballycastle, tragically passed away suddenly from a heart attack earlier this year. Despite the availability of a local defibrillator, Gordon couldn’t be saved. His family, friends, and colleagues were left devastated. 'Fun-loving' and 'larger-than-life' Gordon had a passion for cosplay, and was considered a 'rock' and mentor by his colleagues. However, from Gordon's tragic death has come an inspiring legacy. His colleagues at Capita created an NICHS 'Always In Our Hearts' tribute page, raising over £3,600 to help fund the expansion of our cardiac care services in the Northern Trust. Gabrielle, Gordon’s wife, says, “Whilst painful for us left behind, his legacy will support other families facing the same pain moving forward and we know this will make a difference to others, just as he did during his life." Thank you to all the staff at Capita, and to Gordon's family and friends. While he was taken too soon, his legacy will allow us to be there for local families dealing with devastating heart conditions.
