Gary Watson aged 21, lived in Grimsby, North East Lincs. Gary already has two brothers in the spirit world and leaves one younger brother Jacob and one older sister Machaela in this world.
Gary was born in 1985, three years after we buried his brother Andrew. Andrew died from heart disease, so Gary was always very special, we had been given a second chance. He was a handful from the moment he could walk and talk, always very mischievous, but lovely with it. He loved Thomas the Tank Engine and had all of the videos. As he grew into a lovely young boy his favourite cartoon was Taz and his favourite film was The Titanic. He loved skate boarding and roller blading and in 1995 we took him on his first ever ski trip. He loved it and became a brilliant skier and could well have become a ski instructor. He loved extreme sports and on the mountains you could see the happiness and sense of freedom in his eyes. In 1997 when Gary was 12 years old his twin brothers Jacob and Charles were born, but sadly Charles died 50 minutes after birth, leaving him with one brother Jacob and one sister Machaela. In his teens he had some lovely girlfriends and enjoyed life. Unfortunately his last girlfriend, who he moved in with last August (2007), was very different from the girls he had previously been out with. She physically beat him on more than one occasion and after his death we found out that she was a drug user. Gary passed away in very tragic circumstances 3 days before his 22nd birthday. The night Gary died he was emotionally tormented and beaten up by three people, his then girlfriend, her ex-boyfriend and her ex-boyfriend's friend, whom she had invited to the house during a night of drink and drugs. Gary died with 47 injuries to his body, 20 of which he had sustained in the days/weeks leading up to his death. He couldn't take it anymore and took his own life. As far as we are aware Gary never took drugs until the final days/weeks of his life. We can only assume that the drugs were the result of the manipulative and abusive relationship that he got involved in. As a parent to bury your child is the hardest thing in the world to do, but to bury your child beaten and clawed is beyond belief. All we ever want as parents is to look after and protect our children from harm. I felt completely broken and numb. Our world without Gary will never be the same.
Why
You left my life and i'll never know why
I wanted you to live and you said goodbye
My heart hurts now and will forever
I long for the day when we can be together
Where roads are paved of gold and angels fly
But, for now I have to say goodbye
I light a candle in your memory, and keep it lit
So you can see how much I loved you every bit
I don't think you were bad, I know you were sad
Your soul has now been set free
Your life is now a memory
I will never understand why you had to go
But I guess you were feeling really low
For the rest of my life I will wonder why?
Gary was the best brother in the world and I miss him so much. He loved life, had a beautiful smile and the ladies loved him. He was my big brother and I will love him forever. Miss you Gary, Jacob xxxx
Gary was very special to us, we miss him and cry for him everyday. I miss your beautiful smile and If I could hold you one more time I would never let you go. Life is so hard without you, I struggle to go on, love you baby, mum Xxx. Now with big brother Andrew and baby Charles, three beautiful stars that will always shine the brightest xxx.
4th November 2008 - One year today, miss you Gary xxx
A hole with no bottom, a hill with no top,
A road with no bend, a night with no end.
It's as if it's not happened, it's as if it's not true,
It's as if it's a dream, yet a numbness seeps through.
Theres a feeling of emptiness, a gap to be filled,
Theres a feeling of loneliness, that cannot be stilled.
They say time is a healer, how long will it take?
I can't see it ending, it's a permanent ache.
Life has no meaning, yet it has to go on,
I find it so hard and feel so alone.
No one will ever know, the depth of my sorrow,
I just have to trust there'll be a better tomorrow.

Sweep away the sand & dry the ocean.
Pack the moon & stars up in a cardboard box.
Stop the clouds from chiming,
Block the sun from shining.
Paint the sky a deeper shade of blue,
...'cause my world's over without you. "
"Our very special Gary'
How can 3 years have passed without you in our lives. It seems like only yesterday since our lives changed forever and yet at the same time it seems like a lifetime ago that we were able to see you, hold you, touch you or see your beautiful smile. Jacob misses his big brother and I miss my beautiful son every day. You were a huge part of our lives and when you died a part of me died too, a flame went out in my heart. We have had to find a new "normal", one without you in it but I carry you in my heart and soul and you live in deep inside me forever. Please forgive me for not visiting you often, the intense pain I feel is so unbearable, but you are always with me. Take care of your brothers for me. Love and miss you babe always. Mum and Jacob XX Miss you Gary from Jacob XX

A good friend and great guy
I was introduced to Gary a few years ago by his dad, Colin and step brother, Paul. I also know his sister Machaela from school. We made an instant bond and became good friends, going on many good nights out and playing football with our mates in the club`s football team.
Gary was a great guy with a great sense of humour, I think he looked up to the older lads in the pub and in turn we looked after him.
I remember Gary calling me when Paul was involved in an incident and was taken to Hull infirmary, I immediatly picked him up and we travelled across the Humber to meet up with Colin and Janet to see him. I think it was that day we all became close mates which was all down to Gaz and his good nature, making sure we where all there for each other.
I had no idea that Gary was going through such a hard time, he called me several times from his girlfriends house telling me how much of a good time they where having. They both came out for a drink with us and seemed to get on well. Gaz met me in the pub a few days before the incident and we spoke about the girls we had both met via myspace. I was telling him how I had met a great girl(which I now am engaged to and expecting our second child.) and he thought the same about his girlfriend.
Everything appeared to be fine, I wish I could have been there for him.
I was honoured when Colin asked me to help carry Gary in for the remembrance service, along with Steve Etheridge. I picked Steve up on the morning of the service, upon reaching weelsby road there was a long que of traffic, we where unsure if it was from Gary`s service or just heavy traffic. It was, infact, an accident on the junction of Peak`s parkway
which caused us to be late, we pulled up and ran into the courtyard only to see the hurst driver carrying Gary in instead of us.
We where absolutely devastated.
I think Gaz would have found it funny...........................
