Sir David Amess MP

Book of Condolence

Sir David Amess MP, who was murdered during a constituency surgery on 15 October, is remembered by SPUC as a stalwart pro-lifer who never ceased fighting for the right to life of the unborn.

Sir David worked tirelessly over the years to protect unborn babies and support vulnerable women facing crisis pregnancies, operating within Parliament to forward various pro-life initiatives.

Ahead of Sir David’s funeral on 23 November (which will be attended by SPUC staff members) we are opening this book of condolence for supporters. Messages and condolences you leave here will be passed on to Sir David’s family.

Thank you for your thoughtful messages of condolence.

We will pass them on to Sir David's family.

Sir David was a gift to our Parliament and to our nation because he was faithful in the real sense of that word, and at the same time did not take himself too seriously. In fact, he was able to speak sincerely and strongly while also entertaining and winning hearts. We are the poorer without him but undoubtedly he has completed the task the Lord wanted of him, by giving his life on the job. God bless him!

Rachel Bischoff 22/11/2021 09:29

Such a dreadful tragedy leading to the loss of a man of principle and compassion - a really committed MP. The relationship between an MP and his constituents is one of the distinctive features of our political system and the tributes to Sir David emphasise the importance of these relationships. We can only send our condolences and our prayers: the huge loss that his family are suffering is so unfair. Their pain has no end. May God grant each of them the strength and the grace to persevere.

Many a time I wrote to Sir David Amess asking for his support and prayers for pressing pro-Life issues. Almost by return, I received a message from him of reassurance, support and his continued prayers. He said that Pro-Life work was pure gospel. Sir David radiated a heavenly joy and saw the image of God in everybody.. A man of thorough decency and principle has gone to God and is enjoying the peace, joy and rest of the eternal life. May God be close to Mrs Amess and family in the days ahead.
