MartinDURKIN(Lanchester, formerly of London)
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Martin on 6 June 2026, aged 78 years. A devoted husband to Jane, a much-loved brother to Marie and David, and a kind and caring uncle.
Martin spent his working life with HMRC, becoming a Senior Principal Officer at Somerset House, before returning to the North East of England in later years. He was well known within the local community and was actively involved in charities, including the Lanchester Lions. Martin's kindness and warmth will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him.
Friends are kindly invited to attend the cremation at Mountsett Crematorium on 25 June at 2:00pm, followed by a celebration of his life at Lanchester Social Club.
Family flowers only, please. Donations in memory of Martin are welcome to Parkinson's UK.
Keep me informed of updates
