It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of the wonderful badminton coach Bob Heaton on Thursday 12 June 2025.

Bob was not only one of the founding members of Rochdale Junior Badminton Club, he was its heart and soul for over 50 years. As a dedicated coach, he gave his time, energy, and passion to the sport and to generations of young players. Week after week, year after year, Bob looked forward to Saturday sessions, where he found great joy in coaching and encouraging children and young people to develop their skills and confidence on the court.

There are countless individuals, too many to name, who have been coached by Bob and who have benefited from his knowledge, encouragement, and kindness. His sharp wit, warm smile, and generous spirit left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

A true giant in the world of grassroots badminton, Bob’s legacy will live on in the many lives he touched. Through the club, he not only nurtured talent but also helped forge lifelong friendships and even marriages, a testament to the strong, welcoming community he helped build.

His love for the game and his unwavering commitment to his club and community will never be forgotten.

Funeral details to follow.

Remembering you always, Bob.

Rest in peace ❤️

Rahna, Adam and Ve 💔
