Jonathan James Bray (jonny)
1986 to 2006

Our son Jonathan tragically died on his motorbike, in the early hours of Saturday 23rd September on his way to work.
Jonathan was only 20 years old . We don't know what happened that day there was no one else involved we will just have to wait till the day we meet again .
jonathan leaves behind his mum, dad ,sister ,nan gran and grandads and all the rest of his family and friends.
he will be sadly missed by everyone who had the great pleasure of knowing him

Jonathan was a kind fun loving young man who loved life to the full .He loved listening to his music and riding his bike.Jonathan enjoyed several hobbies including fishing, shooting, camping out with his mates, he loved to play his xbox all the time.Jonathan had only been living back home for a few months after splitting from his girlfriend , how glad we are for those last few months we had with him . This is a poem that we read to Jonathan it means a lot
to us.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
i am not there , i do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow,
i am diamonds glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
i am gentle autumnal rain.

When you waken in the morning hush,
i am the soft uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine in the night.
do not stand at my grave and cry
i am not there , i did not die.



Jonathan ,we love and miss you very much
you are always in our thoughts,
you will always be part of our lives
love you
mum , dad
and Laura

miss the child I cannot see
And long for him to be with me.
There is no way to touch, it seems,
Save when I see him in my dreams.
But, within my heart, there is a place
Where I can see his smiling face.

This child that has gone out of sight,
Still lives today in bright sunlight.
He walks among the trees, at break of day.
Through the grass, he makes his way,
Laughing and smiling as he walks
And to all his family he still talks.

Within my heart, there is no time,
No clocks to tick, chirp or chime.
There are no hours, days or years,
Deep within my heart, there are no tears.
For all is there as it was then,
A young boy gone, lives again.

Loved and remembered every day.

Love mum

You never said "I'm leaving"
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why

A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried
If Love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died

In Life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill

It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home

I Shall Remember You

I shall remember you for as long
as there are fields of snow
And there are flowers in the ground
with strength to grow.
As long as there are stars above
and moonbeams on the sea,
And just as long as there are songs
of love and memory.
I shall remember you today
and dreams of you tonight,
And look for you tomorrow when
the sun begins to light.
Whatever season, month or year
this much will be the same,
The special sound of joy will be
the mention of your name.
I shall remember you for as long
as there are earth and sky.
And all eternity
may it take to say goodbye.

an eternal memory of a much loved SON

This is for someone wonderful
as loved as one could be
for you were everything in life
you meant the world, you see
And sometimes life can be unkind
when hearts are torn in two
but nothing ever could compare
to the pain of losing you
But all the love you left behind, forever will live on
and so until we meet again
rest peacefully ,my dear son

keep shinning bright my little man
love you lots
mum

Thinking of you

Hiya Jonathan, I just wanted to let you and your family know that we are thinking of you all.

I can't believe that it'll be 3 years ago tomorrow that you and our Jonathan were taken from us.

I know it's so difficult for your family without you. Stay close to them and let them know that you're there.

Hope you and Jay are racing clouds with the other lads.

Love to you and your family xx

Linda, I'm thinking of you, I know Jonathan is with you all and helping you through this, love Carol xx

Hey

Hey Jonny,

Rachel here...it's weird, I got really stressed out the other day, I guess I was tired and I was hungry and I had just been stood up by someone who was meant to sell me a radiohead ticket...radiohead in Mexico City, can you imagine?? Anyway i was on the Metrobus heading to meet up with my friend and feeder came on my ipod. I had been thinking about you a fair bit and about how I havn't been able to come and see you...also, i went on hi5 for the first time in like 3years the otherday and i had a friend request from you...you have to be kidding! i thought. When that song came on I just cracked and tears just started rolling down my face, luckily I had sun glasses on, it's well sunni here...even now. I managed to stop myself but when i got into the car of my friend I just cried. I know you wouldn't have wanted me to. but it isnt a bad thing, to let it all out i guess. Usually I wouldn't write this here, I'd talk to you up y the sign, but i cant cuz im hear and that sucks! there is this huge stone snake in the uni, that you can climb on and its like 1km long or something, it has a good view...im gunna go talk to you there i think.
hope you are all good up there. although i really wish you were still down here. xxx xxx xxx

He is not gone I look at his photos
And have to smile
Can I tell you about him
For a little while?
First thought of the morning
Last one of the day
I’d wonder about
What pranks he’d play!
A rogue, whose humour
Forgave the sin
A joyful clown
With an impish grin
A grownup boy
And people lover
Sought by his friends
Adored by his mother

Have a lovely weekend. Love from Liz Stuart Maxwell's mum xx
