To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.
Obituary
With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Errol Markow, who was born on 06 June 1944 and passed away on 10 July 2026 in Durban, South Africa, at 82 years young.
Errol will be remembered for kindness, generosity, and his passion and care for all creatures and critters especially his many feathered friends and their parents. Family, friends, neighbours, colleagues, clients and customers all experienced the warmth and sincerity that made time spent with Errol meaningful.
Throughout life, Errol built lasting connections and touched many lives through simple acts of care, encouragement, and friendship. Conversations, shared moments, and everyday gestures created memories that will remain with those who had the privilege of knowing Errol.
Family meant a great deal to Errol, and relationships were always nurtured with patience and devotion. Friends valued loyalty and sincerity, while colleagues, clients and customers appreciated dedication and a thoughtful, caring approach, saving lives, changing lives for the better and always making you feel so much better after a chat or visit with him. He had a great sense of humour and ability to share fun, humourous stories, a wealth of information on any topic and experience through his many journeys and adventures. He had a deep relationship with Jesus, his Lord and Saviour and his strong faith leaves a bright light and a good example for us to remember and to follow.
The passing of Errol leaves a space that cannot be filled. Yet the memories, lessons, and moments shared will continue to live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate to know Errol.
Errol will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
