Mike Harper
Mike is a beloved son, incredible brother, loving partner and lifelong friend. He is loved by so many, and left his mark all across the country. Born in Lincoln and a pupil of LSST, Mike then graduated from Sheffield Hallam University in 2019. He relocated to Bristol for his work for Laing O’Rourke as a Quantity Surveyor at Hinckley Point. He spent the rest of his life working for Laings, even fulfilling his London dream with them by relocating in 2023 to work on the Olympia redevelopment. In his last years, he spent his time travelling, running, playing football or partying with friends as well as exploring everything the city had to offer with his amazing partner Ailsa.
We are devastated to say we lost Mike to a sudden cardiac arrest whilst running in the Bristol Half Marathon, a city he once called home. He had no known health issues or family history of young sudden cardiac death. He was otherwise healthy and always prioritised fitness. This loss has been so unimaginably difficult to come to terms with and CRY offer such important support. We’d love if you have the means to donate to CRY to help us raise money to aid cardiac screening and raise awareness of the potential risk of cardiac arrest in youth. The charity also provide screening for immediate family members due to the connection between sudden cardiac death and genetics.
And for Mike, we don’t want any one else to lose anybody in this cruel and shocking way. Thank you for your generosity and ongoing support,
The Harper Family ❤️
This memorial fund has been set up by the family to help CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) reduce the frequency of young sudden cardiac death through supporting CRY’s screening programme.
The aim is to fund the screening of young people within the local community.
