A full obituary will be published here in time.
Sebastian Bullock, our Development Director, died peacefully on Wednesday 19 February having fought a courageous battle against pancreatic cancer. He was at home, surrounded by his loving family.
Sebastian had been part of our community for a very long time, having joined College in 1998, and he will be well known to many of you. He was hugely well-respected in the many different roles he fulfilled here at College, especially as Housemaster of Boyne House, teacher of Economics, Duke of Edinburgh leader, rowing enthusiast, and latterly, Cheltonian Society & Development Director.
His work with the Cheltonian Society gave him great joy, as did the warm friendships he made with all the different generations of OCs and friends of Cheltenham College and Cheltenham Prep. His loss will be felt deeply by all our community.
Those who knew Seb will remember him as a man of deep humility and integrity, a passionate and dynamic adventurer, and a loving and proud family man. His modesty about his own personal achievements (climbing Everest for instance) set the tone for all the interactions he had, and we admired his determination and resilience in the way that he approached the significant health challenges he faced in the past year. He was always positive and upbeat and that will be his lasting legacy and an inspiration that we will hold dear.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Katherine and their children, Xander, Jago and Claudie, at this difficult time, as well as his wider family and friends, near and far.
