My wife Georgina, daughter Hannah and my own life, was completely devastated on October 27th 2009 when our son died suddenly, after only having flu like symptoms. Liam was a loving, happy, caring, contented young man, who would chat away in his friendly manner with young or old alike. Liam would have people laughing with just an odd word or two, together with the mischievous twinkle in his eye! Who ever he came into contact with, Liam would add an extra sparkle to their lives. Quotes from his football manager Shaun Flaherty " Liam was a very polite, well mannered young man. He never had a bad word to say about anyone and a credit to his parents". His headmaster Mr Burrowes " I knew Liam very well, he was a talented footballer and charming young man. His decency and humanity made him stand out and he went out of his way to make everyone feel welcome. He had an easy presence with the staff and children and was relaxed and thoughtful, a natural leader". Liam loved his family and had many friends, he was passionate about all sports, especially football. He enjoyed watching Walsall F.C., sometimes the match but definately the kick about afterwards with his mates. We will miss his smile, his cheeky wit and his hugs and kisses. Even after his 13th birthday, he was not too old for kisses and cuddles from his mom and dad. He loved life and everyone who came into contact with him, felt his love and enthusiasm for everthing. We live now with a sadness, but we have comfort from happy memories that will always be with us and of being blessed to have had such a lovely son and brother.
