RYAN LEE WARNER - A Very Special Young Man.
Ryan was just 12 years old when his life was tragically taken on 20th October 2007. Ryan had fought for 9 days to stay with us, but it was not to be. A decision was made to let Ryan join his Grandad and no longer be in anymore pain. A very brave and sad decision his doting Mum, Debbie, was forced in to making.
Ryan lived in Heston, Middlesex with his Mum and his older brother, David, and was looking forward to 'becoming like his brother'. He looked up to David and was like his little shadow, and David had so much time for him, despite Ryan being a pain on occasion. What are little brothers for, eh? Ryan liked to play football and would often be found playing football alongside David and his friends. He supported Manchester United.
Ryan also loved climbing and cars. It turned out, from work found, that Ryan wanted to be a mechanic. If you put a piece of paper in front of Ryan, you could guarantee a car would be drawn.
Ryan attended Heston Infant and Junior Schools, Cedars Junior School and Woodbridge Park Secondary School, Isleworth. He was an absolute character at each of these schools, and I doubt he will ever be forgotten. He certainly gave the teachers a run for their money!
Woodbridge Park put on an assembly in memory of Ryan and this turned out to be a wonderful tribute to a deeply missed young man. His friends and teachers alike had wonderful words to say about him and shared their school memories with us. The Chaplain from Ryan's funeral attended and said some fitting words. Teachers from Cedars School attended too!
Now for a little history on this wonderful young man.
Debbie and I were both pregnant at the same time, with Ryan being due a little while after my Ian. But, like the little man that Ryan turnd out to be, demanding and full of energy, he came along first, 6 days before Ian, on 25th July 1995. Ryan and Ian were to become very good friends, not just because of us Mums, but because they had a genuine connection...it was wonderful. They did so many of their first baby things together; they played, they cried, they fought, they stole each others food and toys, but they always loved one another. There are so many wonderful memories, but right now they only bring tears!
Anyway, Ryan and Ian both went to different schools and Ryan made new friends and became an extremely popular boy both where he lived and at his schools, but always had time for Ian.
We holidayed together as families and had some of the most wonderful times; again such memories.
Ryan was on his way to school on Thursday 11th October 2007, when he was hit by a car. The emergency services arrived promptly and did all they could for him, subsequently taking him to Great Ormand Street Hospital. The hospital staff were amazing and worked round the clock to give Ryan the best possible chance of survival, but unfortunately the impact of the car was too much for him. Ryan lost the fight for life in the early hours of Saturday 20th October surrounded by his Mum, Brother, Nan, Aunties and Uncles. I may not have been there in person, but my heart was with him and his family. I felt their pain along with my own.
I visited Ryan in hospital, and seeing him lying there truly crushed me and broke my heart. I was able to hold Ryan and kiss his forehead, and tell him how much he meant to me. I was able to give him words of love from Ian. I prayed day and night, but unfortunately my prayers went unanswered. My prayer now is that Ryan is at peace and that some good will come of his untimely departure, be it that his friends take the time to stop, look, listen and arrive safely when crossing the road, and that they in turn will teach their children in the future to do the same. Let's hope that this has taught them that road saftey is an absolute must, because even at 25 miles an hour the outcome can be fatal. As parents we must ensure they understand this, and if by emphasising this tragedy we save just one life, then something good has come from this traumatic experience.
Ryan's farewell was like none I'd ever witnessed. His popularity was so apparent. I have never seen so many floral tributes; neither have I ever seen a chapel so filled. Every pew was filled to capacity, along with the gallery above. It was a truly amazing send off for such a much thought of young boy. Outside, the children present released balloons in to the sky and we all watched them float away to be with Ryan and the other little ones in heaven.
Ryan was very dear to me; I loved him like my own. His passing has left a huge hole in my heart and has truly devastated me. Now all I can do is be there for his mum and try to keep her strong and remind her that one day she will be with Ryan again, but for now she must live life to the fullest, as that is what Ryan would want. She must move forward and do all the things in life she planned and take Ryan with her. He will be watching her and enjoying her experiences wherever she goes; no doubt holding her hand along the way!
Ryan, you will always be in my heart and in my memories. The pain of losing you will never go away. More than 8 months on and I am struggling to come to terms with this loss. I am so grateful for having the chance to know you, to watch you learn to walk, talk and slowly turn in to the young man you had become. Thank you for being a part of my life and for being such a great friend to Ian, who also misses you so much.
I hope you remain at peace with your Grandad and are not giving him too much mischief to deal with.
Love Always, Never Forgotten!
Cheryl, friend and adopted aunty!
Love u lots
just sending a quick message to tell you how much I love and miss you and not a single day goes by where i don't think of you!

Remembering Our Son - by Mariane Holbrook
We'll only remember the good things
Like the day when our baby was born.
How he filled all our lives with such pleasure,
Never knowing that now we would mourn.
We'll only remember the good days,
Like the day when he ran to our arms
And he flashed his big smile so endearing
And displayed his unique baby charms.
We'll only remember the good things
Like the presents he wrapped with his love
And presented his heart to his parents
Like a gift straight from heaven above.
We'll only remember the fun times
When our family would gather as one,
And our laughter would fill all our household
At the antics of him, our dear Son.
So today though we mourn at his passing
And we wipe sorrow's tears from our eyes,
We'll remember this Son whom God gave us
And brought so much joy to our lives.

Hello my darling Ryan
God how I miss you.... When will this get better???
Your birthday is coming up next month you would have (should have) been 15. So im already going down that spirel of sadness again. I know you know whats been happening between me and your bro Dj. Please stay with him and give the the strenth to carry on, on the right path. He is on the road to self discruction at the moment and I cant help him. I never thought this would happen between me and Dj as we were so very close all his life. But then they say a death like yours does break up happy couples all the time. I think maybe thats what has happened to me and Dj. I want to be there for him but I just cant all we do is tare strips of each other. I know your my angle now but look after Dj for me. You know I wont do anything silly cos with your strength and support iv got this far. Give your grandad a hug and kiss from me.
Ill be having a picnic at the park for you again this year, with a balloon I can send up to you in heaven. I think about you every day and miss you everyday i wonder how tall you are now and have you put on any pounds yet? I miss your smile and giving you a hug. How i wish i could hug you again and feel your boney shoulders. I remember the hugs well and your cheeky-ness. Telling me your on the toilet when i want you to do a job for me. But i caught you out on that morning and you laughed your head off. Who knew that would be our last morning together. You came into my life as a surprise and you left it the same way. Im so very grateful to have had you for 12 years (and 3 months) id do it all again if i could, you are worth it....
My sadness is always with me, but im starting to get hopeful that maybe some happiness is around the corner. Take care my darling Ryan, until next time. Your always in my heart. Love forever and ever.
Your Mum.x.
God Took Him To His Loving Home
God saw him getting tired, a cure was not to be.He wrapped him in his loving arms and whispered ‘Come with me.’He suffered much in silence, his spirit did not bend.He faced his pain with courage, until the very end.He tried so hard to stay with us but his fight was not in vain,God took him to His loving home and freed him from the pain.
His Journey’s Just Begun
Don't think of him as gone away-
his journey's just begun,
life holds so many facets-
this earth is only one. . .
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched. . .
for nothing loved is ever lost-
and he was loved so much.

FOR YOUR MUM, RYAN, MY DEAREST FRIEND, AND YOUR DEVOTED BROTHER
FOR YOUR MUM, RYAN, MY DEAREST FRIEND, AND DAVID, YOUR DEVOTED BROTHER
If only sorrow could build a staircase, or tears could show the way,
I would climb my way to Heaven, and bring him home again.
I would do anything to bring him back to you, because if you got him back, I would get back the friend that I once knew!
My heart is still broken, Debs, and always will be for the loss of your little man, who was also my little man with Ian! A piece of my heart has been missing since Ryan left us on 20th October 2007 and will always be missing. Life will never be the same. I share your pain, Debs and Dave, and truly wish I could take it away, but we all know I can not do this, so I am here for you whenever you need me.
You have both been so brave this Christmas...a tree, cards and gifts...Stay strong and life live to the fullest for that treasured young man who is no longer with us but always in our hearts.
Love always to you both and the rest of your family.
