We dedicate this site to the memory of Dale
"To live in hearts left behind is not to die" (Thomas Campbell)
Dale was born in Buckland Hospital, Dover, Kent on April 24, 1989. He is much loved and will always be remembered by all his friends and family.
Sunday 19th October 2014, a date that has changed our lives forever...In the afternoon when I went into your bedroom to wake you, Dale, I thought you was in a deep sleep, but suddenly I realised you had gone, I screamed for Dad and he ran up the stairs to you and tried so hard to bring you back to us, as did your sister and the medics who arrived shortly after. But it was not to be. Cannot describe the horror and shock we felt. But it gave us so much comfort that you passed away peacefully in your sleep. All the family were lying with you on your bed giving you big hugs and kisses to say good bye. You have left a big hole in our hearts. We will meet up again one day our beautiful handsome son so that we can give you lots more hugs. We will always be thinking of you all the time. Miss you so much, we hope you have gone to a better place our wonderful son. Lots and lots of love and kisses, Mum & Dad xxxxxxxxxx
We will be continually adding to this memorial. We hope you will all add your own tributes, such as a short story, picture, video, song, as well as light a candle in his memory. The family will be organising fundraising events to support future research on SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy; please see https://www.sudep.org/) and to raise awareness in the general public of this condition, which so cruely took the life of our beloved Dale. These events will be the perfect way for his many friends and family to get together and celebrate his life. We look forward to reading your tributes and getting together soon to make sure Dales legacy lives on in all our hearts. Love to you all xxxxxxxxxxx
