Brian PaulATKINSPassed away at home surrounded by his loving family after a short illness.
Where do I start, I find it difficult to put into words. The reality that you have been taken away from us.
You were the cement that kept our family together. My only solace is, our two boys I have to look at each day. Josh your doppelganger and Jordan a defined character, who have their own individual strengths to help me carry on.
When we were gifted our Grandson Eli, you were defiantly born again for sure. The morning of your passing, Eli came down by his high chair and said 'I want my dinner' I said then, your Gaga is here with us always.
I miss you everyday and that will never change.
Your brokenhearted Wife Alison x
Life isn't the same without you anymore Dad. We miss you with all our hearts. You were always there for us, whether we wanted it or not. You guided us this far through life, preparing us to fill your shoes. You will live through us now, and in our memories, our actions and through us, and through Eli. We wont let you down, you taught us what a true man is and how to be a great Father, because that's what you were born to do. A selfless Father, a man of honour and his word, you believed in doing the right thing regardless of the outcome.
Nothing can prepare you being a Dad, I will try my very best to be the best Dad I can for Eli, because I've had you as the best role model, and I will continue to do everything I can, to make you proud of me.
You could always light up any room with a laugh and joke, your energy would always power any party, our time with you was so much shorter than we thought, but we won't forget you and everything you taught us.
All our love Your Sons Josh, Jordan and their partners Ashley and AJ x
To my Gaga, I am so lucky to have had the privilege to call you my Gaga. Daddy, Mama, Nana and Uncle Jordan will never let me forget all the amazing memories we had together, even though our time together was not long enough, you will live on in me. I will forever miss sharing my food with you until the very end, you chasing me around the dining room table before I could even walk, us playing together in the garden in the sunshine and your squeezes! I will look for you in the sky flying with the birdies. Goodnight Gaga love your Grandson Eli xxxx
Brian will be very sadly missed by all his family and friends.
