Dr Mark Sharrard. In loving memory of our beloved dad, husband, brother, uncle and colleague Mark Sharrard. Mark was a proud family man as the father of five magnificent sons and husband of over thirty-two years to his wife, Sally. We cherish many happy memories of him over the years, such as his excellent cooking skills, love of music and competitive Scrabble games. Mark was a renowned paediatric metabolic consultant at Sheffield Children’s Hospital helping care for children and their families from South Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire, and the East Midlands for over 25 years. He was dedicated and passionate about his area of expertise and always had time for his patients, their families and his team. Mark died at St Luke’s Hospice after a short illness, where the amazing and compassionate care allowed us to spend his precious final days together. We will be forever grateful and we miss him very much.

When our daughter Darcy was first diagnosed with Galactosaemia during covid, our family were terrified. Mark came in with a warmth and positivity that changed everything. We will forever be grateful of the kindness he showed us and we are so very sad to hear of his passing. The Spicer family x

Thoughts

I've only had the chance to meet Mark once. I wish it could have been more than that, but I will always remember him now, sitting around that table with his beautiful family, having a nice barbecue in the sunshine of a warm summer day. How lucky are we who have met Mark in our lifetime, and how beautiful that some parts of him remain on this Earth for a long time, through the beautiful warmth and kindness of his sons and wife. Pensez a eux, car la vrai tombe c'est l'oublie. Love, Marie

Without Dr Sharrard my son Harry would be a very different young man. His expertise and care has meant that Harry can live life to the full even with a metabolic condition that was diagnosed as severe when Harry was just 10 weeks old. My family and I were shocked and saddened to hear of his passing and all I can really say is THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart, I hope he knew how grateful we are x

Nick: I first met Mark at the Northern General Hospital in 1993. Mark was my registrar in paediatrics. I have strong memories of Mark being called to review sometimes very poorly children. All around were panicking, but Mark in his characteristic methodical, quiet and calm manner would sort it out to everyone’s relief. He had that wonderful skill that all of us who have worked in acute health settings recognise: imbuing a unit with a confident feeling that all would be well because he was there. Cath: Mark eating seafood chowder at our table with friends and summer barbecues at their house. Us arriving for dinner with some of the ‘mums from school’ couples to find that Mark was falling ill and Nick taking him to hospital - he had finished the cooking and absolutely insisted that the dinner carried on! We remember how very hard Mark worked, for so very long - his dedication within the NHS was phenomenal. He never seemed to speak carelessly, he was softly spoken and always showed kindness and respect to everyone. I could see how distracted and preoccupied Mark was shortly before he was to undergo surgery but he gave me a real bear hug the last time I saw him at home. The Sharrard home has always been a warmly welcoming place for all four of us at various times. It will have been a source of immense pride to Mark and Sally to see their sons grow and mature into such fine young men.

My son was 18 months old when he was diagnosed with a rare metabolic condition - OTC deficiency - and we landed at Dr Sharrard’s door. Remarkably, Sam is now in his first year at university - undertaking a degree in children’s nursing. The metabolic team in Sheffield and then Nottingham - led by Dr Sharrard - made Sam’s future possible. I will remember Dr Sharrard for his knowledge, skill and expertise, his kindness, gentle nature and his reassuring presence. When I felt lost and had so many questions he answered them all - with endless patience and such care. Dr Sharrard - you were one of a kind. From the very bottom of my heart - for everything you did for Sam and for all your patients - Thank You.
