I watched Spencer grow from five years old, I was a few years above him at Washingwell primary school. I can still see him now, I sometimes helped him clean his tray when he was just a little boy as I was older. He was very quiet little boy and shy, but had that cheeky smile all the time.
Then I lived in whickham and we would see each other in the park and around whickham, I always looked out for him being older, and he always brought a smile to my face.
In 2017 we met each other on a course, and our friendship got even stronger. We would meet up regularly and went out together. He would come to my house often.
I just cant believe what's happened Spencer, I hear your voice now, I see that smile, and I am heart broken my brother, truly devastated. Words just dont cut it.
We hadn't seen each other in about a year due to circumstances, but nothing would ever stand in the way of our friendship, which stemmed from us being little boys.
You're are going to be such a massive miss, my thoughts and prayers are with your lovely family.
I'm going to miss you for the rest of my life, but I know the Lord will protect you and look after your kind soul.
Forever your friend, and I'll forever miss you brother.
