Dave Cowburn (1984) died in June 2022, aged just 56. After King’s, he worked locally as a builder, eventually setting up successfully with a partner as Crown Builders in the town. At school he was a tenacious rugby player, and also enthused by such out-of-classroom activities as geography field trips and mountaineering expeditions, but his main interest was as a very accomplished sailor. He was also a strong supporter of the Sea Scouts.
