In Loving Memory of Our Beautiful Brother
You were an incredible soul - one of a kind.
You amazed everyone with your strength, your kindness, and your unforgettable spirit.
Loved deeply by so many, you lit up every room just by being in it.
Whenever we asked, "Are you okay?"
you'd smile and say, "I'm good as gold."
But the truth is, you weren't just good as gold -
you were gold.
A golden heart, shining right in front of us all.
Strong, gentle, and full of love.
Your favourite saying was always: "It is what it is."
Simple words that carried so much of your calm, your wisdom, and your peace.
You faced your battle with grace and courage, right to the very end.
We love you endlessly.
We miss you more than words can say.
Your spirit lives on in all of us, always.
Forever in our hearts.
With all our love - your loving brother Joe and sister-in-law Sylvia,
Loving uncle to Deborah, Andrew, Josh, Simon and Ford
