Greek Orthodox Community of Leeds
In Loving Memory of Charles (Kiki) Kyriacou
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our esteemed community member, Trustee and Honorary Consul for Cyprus, Charles (Kiki) Kyriacou.
Charles passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his family, on 24 July 2026, at the age of 68, following a short illness.
A beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Charles leaves behind his devoted wife, Xanthippi, his sons, Christopher and Nicholas, and his cherished granddaughter, Sabrina Bobbie. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
The funeral will take place on Wednesday 19th August. It will begin at 11.30am at The Church of the Holy Three Hierarchs, 57 Harehills Avenue, Chapel Allerton, Leeds, LS8 4EU.
We will then proceed to Lawnswood Cemetery, Otley Road, Adel, Leeds, LS16 6AH.
We then invite you to join us for drinks, food and sharing of stories about our Dad back at the hall of The Church of the Holy Three Hierarchs.
We thank everyone for their love, support, and prayers during this difficult time.
Αιωνία η μνήμη του. May his memory be eternal.
A message from Xanthi, Chris and Nick Kyriacou, family of Kikis/Charles Kyriacou:
We are overwhelmed by the kind words shared by the community and beyond in response to our loss. After fighting a short but uncompromising illness, Dad sadly passed away on Friday 24th July. We were with him throughout. As you can imagine, we are heartbroken and are struggling to imagine life without him.
Please bear with us as we respond individually to the huge amount of love and compassion you have all shown our father. It is heartwarming to know just how many lives he positively influenced.
Ένα μήνυμα από την Ξάνθη, τον Chris και τον Nick Kyriacou, την οικογένεια του Kikis/Charles Kyriacou:
Είμαστε βαθιά συγκινημένοι από τα θερμά λόγια συμπαράστασης που λάβαμε από την κοινότητα και όχι μόνο, μετά την απώλειά μας. Έπειτα από μια σύντομη αλλά αμείλικτη ασθένεια, ο πατέρας μας έφυγε δυστυχώς από τη ζωή την Παρασκευή 24 Ιουλίου. Βρισκόμασταν στο πλευρό του καθ' όλη τη διάρκεια. Όπως μπορείτε να φανταστείτε, είμαστε συντετριμμένοι και δυσκολευόμαστε να διανοηθούμε τη ζωή χωρίς εκείνον.
Παρακαλούμε για την κατανόησή σας καθώς προσπαθούμε να ανταποκριθούμε προσωπικά στην τεράστια αγάπη και συμπόνια που δείξατε όλοι στον πατέρα μας. Είναι συγκινητικό να γνωρίζουμε πόσες ζωές επηρέασε θετικά.
