Posting on the fundraising page, Marsh said; "We're raising £30,000 after the sudden and devastating loss of Wayne Evans we are trying to raise funds to help towards the costs of bringing him back home.
"Absolutely devastated to hear of the passing of Wanners at the age of 51. A dear friend and teammate of mine for many years. Truly heartbreaking news and he will be forever missed.
"Wanners lived in Canada and USA with his beloved wife Bev and these funds will go a long way in helping with the repatriation process. Anything you can donate in order to make this process a little less painful."
