John Heath & Sons
John Kear, (Rugby League Legend). Passed suddenly on 31st May 2026 aged 71 years.
Donations in his memory will all go to support the work of the West Yorkshire Dog Rescue.
Dyson Funeral Service do not charge for this service, nor do they take any commission from the donation total. All proceeds will go to the charity.
West Yorkshire Dog Rescue is a Registered Charity managed by Committee on a totally voluntary basis. Our main priority is the dogs, their welfare and finding the most suitable homes. We provide a lifelong return policy should adoptive owners be unable to keep them. There is an enormous call for our services, every year we rehome around 250 dogs into loving homes. By using volunteer fosters instead of kennels we are able to ensure running costs are minimised. We rely heavily on discounts for vet treatment, and public donations of money, food and equipment. Strong financial management is supported by hard work to raise monies needed to run the Charity. With robust processes in place and a strategy for long term survival, we will continue to rehome a growing number of unwanted dogs. ▼
www.westyorkshiredogrescue.co.ukJK - thank you for everything. You helped me find joy in the game again. You always knew what to say, you were a great listener, a great speaker, a great man and a great friend. You'll be sorely missed. Rest in peace my friend. Carlos.
A rugby league legend and a gentleman, who will be sadly missed by the rugby league family. RIP from two Dewsbury Rams supporters

I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations it is my responsibility to pay any difference.
I am donating my own money and the funds have not come from anyone else including family or friends, from a collection, a company donation nor the proceeds from the sale of goods or service.
