Gary will never be forgotten by anyone who knew him.
He grew up in the Tunbridge Wells area but had to leave home at a very young age. He managed to
fend for himself and build a life for himself. He had spent a good few years in Luton working for
an airline company before he was encouraged to move closer to Brighton and all that Brighton had to
offer. He was offered a job with a bank which he loved and was living just outside of Brighton in
Newhaven in a house owned by a very close friend. His social life had picked up and he was really
enjoying life.
He died accidentally and tragically at home on 13 May 2007.
I only knew Gary for 6 months whilst I lived in the same house as him but from day one we got on
well, who wouldn't? He was funny, kind, thoughtful, we shared a love of Steps music! and I only
have happy memories of him. Friends who knew him would probably sum gary up as 'A great person
to be with'.
Still can't believe he has gone and that he isn't sitting in his chair surfing the
internet! He certainly won't ever be forgotten.
Still thinking of you
Even now... after all this time. I am sitting here thinking of you and crying.
R.I.P my friend!
Although I only knew you for about 18mnths,there is not a week goes by without a tear from remembering you,being frightened at night you used to ring me,being alone,etc etc..i care for you Gary and hope and wish you are in a better place now than this awful planet known as earth..we helped each other,,i wished it had worked out for us both,,but alas you where taken away too soon but never forgotten...all my Love Andrew xx
Not a day goes by......
I have only just come across this site after putting Garys name into google on the approach to the two years on from Garys tragic death. I was his partner for just over four years, but sadly we went our different ways about 6 years ago. We communicated from time to time, but I never visited him in Newhaven, where I know he was building a new life and seemed happy.Then one day in May I received a call from a friend of Garys asking if I knew it was his funeral that day, which came as a huge shock and was so upsetting. I have visited his memorial since and not a day goes by where I dont think about him. I realize he touched a lot of people and I'm not surprised, because he was a truly lovely and genuine person.
Forgive me for this, but whoever the people are who introduced Gary to the practises that led to his tragic accidental death, I have nothing but utter contempt.
Gary, I miss you every day, I am so glad I knew and loved you, and I know you loved me.
I will never ever forget you, Martyn xxxxx
Just remembering
Just having a moment to remember those who left this world too soon, gary being one.
Still in my memories
Even after a year the pain hasn't eased.
So sad that you have been reject in death, as in life, by those who should have held you dearest, but at least you will always be with us and we will know where you are at rest.
Never forgotten
One year on and I still can not come to terms with your loss in my life.
I had known Gary for about 8 years before he was taken away from us in a tragic accident.
He was a helpful and jolly person who always made me smile and laugh and reminded me there was more to life.
To Gary ‘you were my one and only friend and since you went I have never been able to fill the space you left in my heart. I don’t think I could ever find anyone that would ever replace you as you were a very special person to me, I always think of the good times when we worked together and went out to pubs and clubbing when you seemed to make us all laugh. You never were scared of anything and found coping in life easy even when you were not well. I wish I had been able to give you that last hug and seen you before you died.’
God Bless and I hope you are enjoying what ever you get up to in heaven.
Always in my thoughts and never forgotten
xxxx
Missing you
December 10th your birthday came and went, you should of been here for a get together and some of my choccy cake. Only knew you for a short while but I miss you. If only....
I didn´t know him
I didn´t know Gary at all. I just went into a site were I found the clip: in memory of Gary.
I´m deeply shocked, even I didn´t know him.
I was crying during this clip and I´m still.
I really don´t know why I´m writing this but I know I have to.
The only thing I can say:
'Gary you saved my live.'
I´m stopping with that what took you away from this world.
Good bye Gary
I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU EVEN I DIDN´T KNOW YOU AT ALL
Your
Karsten
such a waste
After such a poor start in life it is wrong that you were taken so young, hope you are happy where you are, say hello to Richard for me if you see him xxxxx
My sincere condolences
I didn't know him personally, but what I have read I truly would have liked to have known him and become a truly great friend. A loss of a truly good human being, I am sure God in his infinite wisdom will surely forgive him, but for the short time he was here he enjoyed the things he really liked to do. I can't judge him, but I have compassion for him. I look forward to meeting him in God's kingdom
