My thoughts for you will never leave, because i still cannot believe, you will not walk back through our door, appologising for being late once more.
I wish you this nightmare would come to an end so once again i can be with my son and friend. You will always be in my heart, the memories you have left behind are only good ones, we will never be apart. Ride High my little angel, ride high, so when i look up in the sky your trails i will see and know you are saying 'hi' to me. God Bless we are all missing you terribly.

[Guest beckyc]

i really can't believe it. it seems like yesterday i was in year 6 getting into trouble for stints dj (and others) had persuaded me to do for a laugh. i'll only remember the good times because there were no bad. my love and hugs goes out to his close friends and family and anyone who ever knew him. he was a really cool guy and just can't believe i'll never see him again. xbeckycx

Dear D.j and your family,
today everyoens laying you to rest, i didnt attend but i just wanted to express my sympathy for the family, this must be so hard and i think you doing brilliantly. I saw you talk on the news this morning whilst i was lying in bed, and it brought a tear to my eye. D.J will be smiling down on the 750++ people who have written him a message, even some from the other side of the world. I hope that today has run smoothly. In the next few days, il re place another message and flowers, either on the rd side, or your new resting place D.J, your never going to be forgotten, ur the one we wont forget, ur the one abingdon wont forget.

Just got back from the funeral. It was a really nice service and I just want to say how amazing it was to see everyone turn up for the *dude*. It was really cool of his parents to let us all come to pay our respects and ride the trials course that was built for us. Thank you all loads. See you real soon dj. You will always be with us...floyd

I didn't know DJ, but I've seen how much his death has devestated someone, and now that I'm here, everyone who knew him. Rest in peace, DJ.

[Guest kat]

I didnt know DJ, but he was a friend of a mate, and i'd just like to express my sympathy at such a tragedy. Its so hard to accept it when someone so many people love so much is taken away so suddenly and unfairly, even when i dont know him. My thoughts go out to all those involved.

Hello,
This is mainly for Sue. It's amazing how strong you are, and the depth of your feeling by posting on here. I'm sure it means as much to everyone else as it does to me that you can and are talking freely on here. I'm so sorry for your loss, especially today. Again, I can't imagine how difficult it must have been for you and your family today, but from what I've heard from everyone who attended the service, David would've been as proud of you and how you all were today as you are of him.

I hope in the days, weeks, months and years to come you can fight out from the cloud you're under now to be left with only the best of memories of DJ, as we all will be. As someone said, they'll only remember the good times because there were no bad. This is a hugely fitting statement for DJ. So many times in eulogies, people say "____ was a lovely boy, appreciated by all" and you think, well, they don't really mean that. However, in this case it's completely true. Hundreds of people around the UK, and the world in general, have all testified this, and again, you should be proud of DJ for who he was and yourselves for guiding him and helping him become his true self. It's a terrible shame he never fullfiled his life and it was cut so, so short, but at least in the brief time he was with us he improved everyone's lives simply by talking to them, as well as living his own life to the full.

Once again, my heart-felt condolences.

Mark.

R.I.P DJ, U WAS A REALLY GOOD RIDER. I RESPECTED U WITH ALL THE HART.

[Guest Emily Powell]

I just want to say a huge thank you to dj's family and em for letting us all say goodbye yesterday. It was an amazing service and DJ would have been proud of you all, you were so brave for him. I feel I know more about DJ now from going yesterday and I am really grateful for that, all of the personal touches made it something that nobody will ever forget.
I can't imagine what you are all feeling at this time because I think it must be impossible to put into words, all I can say is that everyone that was there for DJ yesterday was also there for you. We all want to help and support you in whatever way we can... Thankyou again, DJ was and will always be loved by us all. Emily xx

[Guest H]

Never knew DJ personally, just a friend of a friend, and I've seen how hard this has hit him. Just wanna say that DJ musta been one hell of a guy to make such an impact on everyone. Death is never right, but for someone to be taken away from us at such a young age, and with such talent, is incredibly moving and just not right. Thoughts and feelings go to DJ's family and friends, he will obviously be truly missed. R.I.P.

Was not a close friend, but friends nonetheless. In the breif time we spent working together delivering papers, you were the person i got on best with, i hope you got tipped well from my round when i left and you got it :-) . everytime i went by on my moped we nodded at each other, but i never got the chance to show you my new motorcycle :-( .

To my good friend Dj. You will never know how much you will be missed, your witty comments, trying to distract Mrs Croot so we dont have to do maths, which you were always good at and managed to do.
You were always there, to lend an ear and give out advise to a friend in need, and you always told me of your problems and took my advise, sometimes.
I will miss you so much, not seeing you ride down northcourt road on your bike with the smallest saddle i have ever seen, dude, i dont know how you found that comfertable, with your big curly hair flying behind you.
I will always remember when you brushed it out on the geography trip, it was HUGE! It must ahve been a foot across at least!!
You will be missed by all who knew you and i still cant believe that you have gone.
Anyway, have to finish off now so i can revise for our 3 hour geography exam that you got out of.
Ride In Peace my friend, i will always remember you.
Phill xx
