Just for some closure for me to finish this terrible post - we laid my friend to rest yesterday.
So glad I was able to be a pallbearer - actually made the day better & easier in some way. It was an honour to carry him with old friends, his dad, uncle & cousin - it was a privilege to do this for him and his family. Also, I was so glad to have contributed to some of the stories in the tributes that were made by his partner and another best friend.
A very special day catching up with some old friends, but still miss the bugger. As said by his mum, why did he think there is more fun there than here... just so gutted we'll never know why he did what he did.
John - proud to have been your friend...
