Roudhan Beckwith (24th March 2003 - 16th June 2023), second year Biology student. Passed away following an accident in Brussels, Belgium, leaving his parents (Steve and Josephine) and his younger brother (Dylan).

Roudhan was a part of Halifax College and had passed his second year exams. He was looking forward to his final year.

He was thoroughly enjoying his life in York and truly loved the University and the City. He had made many friends and was enjoying playing football for his College. He lived his life to the full and his education was extremely important to him.

Roudhan had talked extensively about internships and supporting a fund that helps on this front is a very fitting way to remember him.

Thank you,

Steve, Jo and Dylan.

Any gifts in Roudhan’s memory given via this page will support GenerationResearch.
