RIP my mate. I will never forget you and the times we shared together.

You were always there for me and I'll forever be grateful for 'taking me under your wing'.

I have a lifetime of unbelievable memories in which I will cherish.

What I'd give to have that one last pint with you.

Love and miss you mate xxx
