It is with profound sorrow that we share the passing of John Belshaw of Edinburgh, a cherished member of the Wagamama family and a deeply loved brother, whose loss has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of all who knew him. His passing, though announced with difficulty and heavy hearts, has brought together family, friends, and colleagues in shared grief and remembrance of a life that meant so much to so many.
John will be remembered not only for his warm presence but also for the kindness, humour, and quiet strength he carried throughout his life. He had a remarkable way of being there for others—often in ways that were not immediately recognized, yet deeply felt over time. His support, whether through laughter, thoughtful words, or simple acts of care, made a lasting impact on those closest to him.
The bond shared with John as a brother was one filled with both challenges and cherished moments. Even through more difficult times, his love remained constant. He was, without question, a devoted and caring brother—someone whose presence provided comfort, familiarity, and a sense of belonging. The memories of growing up together, of shared experiences and laughter, will forever be held close and treasured.
John’s passing is made even more heartbreaking by the dreams he still held—of traveling, exploring the world, and embracing life’s possibilities. He deserved many more years to pursue those passions and to continue creating meaningful moments with those he loved. Though his life was cut short, the legacy he leaves behind is one of compassion, resilience, and genuine humanity.
During this incredibly difficult time, the outpouring of love and support from the community has been a source of comfort to his family. It is a reflection of how deeply John was valued and how widely he was appreciated. Details of his funeral service will be shared in due course, as loved ones prepare to honour and celebrate his life.
As we remember John Belshaw, we hold onto the love he gave so freely and the memories that will never fade. His spirit will remain with us—in the laughter he inspired, the kindness he showed, and the love that will endure always.
Forever loved, deeply missed, and never forgotten.
