Ellis had been working as an apprentice landscaper at Wyre Gardens, where his bosses said he “exceeded all expectations” and he had become a “well-loved” member of the team.
Ellis’s funeral cortege started at Garstang Funeral Home at 10.25am where people came to pay their respects en route to St Peter’s Parish Church in Scorton for an 11am service.
He was then laid to rest in the churchyard. Following the funeral, Ellis’s family invited mourners to join them at The Patten Arms, Winmarleigh for refreshments, to share stories and continue remembering Ellis.
