My brother was a caring, sensitive individual who sadly got caught up with the wrong crowd. He always wanted people to be happy, and hated to see anyone sad. He never once lost touch with us, his family, even though he decided he wanted to be out in the world.
His death was a tragedy that is too hard to even comprehend. The cause is too hard to accept, as are the circumstances surrounding it. Martin went missing from his home, where he lived with his girlfriend, on sunday the 22nd of april '07. To protect me and my sister Alice, our parents decided not to tell us. Martin wasn't the sort to get into serious trouble, so was sure to be back. On Wednesday the 25th, my dad told me, just hours before the police showed up on the doorstep, when I was home alone, telling me his body had been found by the railway lines. We didn't know you were in trouble, Martin. If only you'd spoken to us. The inquest revealed he had a heart condition, which was serious, yet so far undetected. He had taken drugs during that weekend, which distorted who he was. We think he was crossing the rail lines because he thought he lived at his previous address. We're told he collapsed, and unfortunately, remained there from the 23rd of april to the 25th, when he was found.
He enjoyed working with his friends, and was regularly caught playing pranks on people. His bubbly character was infectious, and I will never forget the memories me and him shared as children. His life was short lived, and I miss him more than words can say.
I'm so proud to be your sister, and always will be. I know you were planning to come over for my 18th, on the 29th, that weekend. You were always so kind, and loved to suprise people, and I will cherish that thought forever.
I still have your card and cap on my bookcase, and they'll always remain there. We know you're watching over us.
Mum got told, by a lovely lady at the Funeral directors, that when you lose someone, and you see feathers, it's a sign they're there. It's nice to believe that. Alice sometimes says she can sense you're in the room, or near her, too. Of course, there's moments when something happens and we say "Hello, Martin". Like when we were playing frisbee, and no matter what direction we threw it in, it landed in the tree. You really wanted to play that day! Or when flowers on other people's graves have fallen down. We know it's you, playing pranks again. And we know you're talking to us, when we visit you and your pinwheel spins, then stops as we walk away.
I miss you.

I used to know Martin throughout both JFH and Upper School, being in his form for both. He was a good person and i just wanted to send my best to his family and friends. Rest in peace mate.
⋱♥⋰ IF ONLY YOUR FAMILY COULD TURN BACK TIME ♥ LIFE ONCE AGAIN WOULD BE FINE ♥ TIME WOULD PASS YOU'D STILL BE HERE ♥ TO HAVE TO HOLD TO LOVE SO DEAR ⋱♥⋰
Happy 22nd birthday, Martin.
You're our very own Peter Pan. Hope you're watching us.
Love you more than words can say.
R.I.P
Counties there were between us
Distance of a mile or two
Visits were infrequent
But still have Memories of You
I couldn't make Your Funeral
Your Death was so unfair
I don't want you thinking
I really didn't care
I knew what time the service was
So I stopped and had a toast...........
'Too a lovely Cousin' I can really boast.......taken too soon
R.I.P. xx
And lots of love and hugs to your devestated Mum, Dad , Stacey & Alice xxxx
my heart goes out to you in your terrible and shocking grief, my son took his own life in 2006 when he was 28, I know the pain
Reflection
Another day for you to wonder, another day for you to mourn
It wasn't my intention to go before the coming dawn
My pain was deep within my heart and troubled head
It wasn't my intention to go without words said.
My frame of mind seemed normal, or so I heard them say
It wasn't my intention not to see another day
I did not mean to make you suffer or cause you so much pain
It wasn't my intention to never see you again.
Despair and confusion left my aching mind unsure
It wasn't my intention to suddenly close life's door
If only I could give you reasons and brush the tears away
It wasn't my intention to leave you and not stay.
I did not mean for you to grieve, now left alone to cry
It wasn't my intention to leave you, forever asking why
As the burdens of life's worries slowly ebb from my heart
it wasn't my intention to tear your soul apart
