Announcement

With heavy hearts and great sadness, we are writing to inform you, that as
a valued customer, David May has sadly lost his fight with cancer and
passed away, surrounded by his loving family, peacefully at home on
December 2nd.

Due to the extra risk of contracting COVID-19, David was advised by his
Consultant to maintain a distance from the daily working life of the
business. He found this especially difficult as chatting, hearing and
telling many stories from and with his customers, suppliers and colleagues
was especially important to him.

David and Shelagh May have been in business in Ivybridge for over 40 years
serving the local community and South Hams area with customer care being at
the forefront of the company throughout, something that is continued today.
The business will continue to run as it has been with Michael Lavers in the
role of the General Manager, a role he has undertaken for the last few
years, with many of these alongside David.

David, had begun to take more of a back seat in the business to carry
out his duties as a SHDC councillor, be the beloved Grandad he was
and spend more time with his wife and family.

Michael started working for the family business in 1992, he is married to
David’s daughter Kirsty and is going to continue and maintain the strong
family business ethos that David started and instilled in us all.

We would like to thank everyone for the kind messages, letters and cards
that both the family and staff have received. These have been simply
overwhelming and have really demonstrated how liked and respected David was
by so many in both the local community and business world.

There has been a Just giving page set up in David’s Memory to raise vital
funds for St Luke’s hospice Plymouth whose support in the last few weeks of
his life, for both him and his family was nothing but outstanding. If you
would like to donate to this fabulous charity, please go to Just Giving and
search for David May – Ivybridge.

Michael and all the staff at David May Motor Services.
