Well mate in some ways it's hard to believe that it's been 5 years already but in other ways it seems like an eternity since you were last here with us.
We love and miss you dearly every single day. You are always in our thoughts.
It would be super awesome if you could have been on these camping trips with us but that just isn't so.
Keep a place for us in heaven beside you because we are never letting you go again once we get there.
All our love

Happy birthday little brother / uncle

I wish I had
I wish I had forgotten the dirty dishes
So I could've spent more time granting you childhood wishes
I wish I had spent more time listening
About everything that you'd been wishing
I wish I had another chance
For a mother/son wedding dance
I wish we had more time with you
So we could enjoy what families do
I wish I had more photos of you for my wall
So it might seem like you're not gone at all
I wish you would come bounding through the door
So I could cut your hair once more
I wish I didn't have such a long list of things
That I miss about you since you got your angel wings
I wish you were here today
Not just because it's your birthday
I wish we had more time together
I wish that time would last forever
Happy 28th birthday mate
Lots of love
Mum and dad xxx

Hey bro, miss you like crazy. Wish Ben could grow up knowing his uncle, but I now you will look over and keep him safe.
Here is a poem for you.
For my big brother
You showed me a lot of things,
I learned a lot I didn't know,
But you forgot to teach me one last thing
How's let you go,
I know you didn't mean to leave me,
Sometimes we have no choice,
I miss being your little sister,
Hearing my name called by your voice,
I wish I got to say " I love you"
Before you were given to the sky,
If God could grant me one last wish
I'd ask to say "goodbye"
Your always meant a lot to me,
I could never love you less,
I know it's true when hey say
"HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST"
Happy birthday bro miss you love you
Love your sister Kirsty and nephew Ben

Well mate - today you should have been celebrating your 27th birthday. We hope you are partying hard up there in heaven and even playing some paint ball.
We miss you so much - your smile, your laugh, your wicked sense of humor, your wacky sayings & most of all your big hugs. Happy birthday mate. You're never forgotten.
All our love mum and dad xx ??? ???

Well it's been awhile since I wrote and ages since you became an angel. You'll be watching over a new little angel that went to heaven a few weeks ago. It was so sad to watch as her Mum and Dad had to say good bye, only 5 weeks of age. I'd like to think you had a hand our little Bianca surving her premmie birth. She's doing really well. You were the best friend to all who knew you and a wonderful Uncle, Brother and Son. Hope you're well where you are and know that you're sadly missed by all who knew you. Lovingly remembered Robyn Zielke

Hey Mate
Well a whole year has passed since you were called up to heaven. We somehow got through the last year without you - I don't know how but we did it I guess with support from our family and friends.
We know that you are watching down on all of us and what a big job you have. Jess and Scott's wedding is just a couple of weeks away so please give us all the strength we need to get through it without you - it will be a tough day but also a happy one - one that we know you will be watching over and celebrating with us too.
There is not a day goes by that we don't miss you or think about you.
We love you mate.
Till we meet again in heaven

Tim, everyday you are in our thoughts. Wish I had visited you more, it still doesn't feel real to this day that you are gone, even though its almost 1 yr on. I guess it never will. It's hard knowing that you're not going to be there to celebrate the achievements in our lives. We wont be able to party as hard without you. Our children will still know all about their Uncle Timmy even though they will never get to meet you. I guess there has been one good thing to come from this, showing us to never take our family and friends for granted, to cherish our time here. It still doesn't make the situation better, we still miss you and wish you were here. Thank you for everything you've done for me, thank you for being a part of my life. xo Sarah and Shawn

Hey little bro,
I have not written in this for a little while but so much has happened since the last time I did. There is only a few things that have not and one of the main ones is how much is miss you and wish you were still here. I miss you really big hugs and your smile. Neale is growing so big and has curls just like yours you would be so proud of him and all your nieces and nephews. He loves you so much just like me and the rest of us.
Love you always your big sister

Tim
It's been just over 9 months now and yet we can't stop thinking about you. We miss you so much. The tears still flow but not as often but our hearts are still breaking.
It's just not fair - you were way too young to die - you had such a promising life ahead of you.
Oh how we all wish we could change that fatefull event last year.
It's just not the same without you mate.
Miss you
Love you heaps
Love Mum and Dad xx

Sweetheart this is the first Christmas in 9 years that I have spent without you... It's hard not having you here, but i know you are watching out for me, family & all our friends. I bought a beautiful house you would've loved & your awesome mustang. I know that these were your wishes & i'm happy to know that I have had a chance to fulfill those wishes.

TIM
Words cannot express just how we feel
They say that time will heal
Nineteenth of April two thousand and eleven
That's the day that you were called to heaven
We will never forget that day
The day that you passed away
How could this be true
You still had so many things in life to do
Before they really started, your hopes and dreams ended
If we could change it, we'd be on our knees bended
Today you were supposed to turn twenty four
Though you're no longer here, it's a day we just can't ignore
It's a day you should have been here to celebrate
And be wished a happy birthday mate
We shared so many good times and had so much fun
We can't believe that now these times are done
You were not only our son, but a great mate too
So how do we go on living our lives without you
We miss your hugs and smiling face
You are someone we just can't replace
We may not shed tears every day
But the pain of losing you hasn’t gone away
You're here all around us and we know this is true
Because we see signs that could only be you
So for us now, heaven will have to wait
To tell you, we love you and miss you mate
love you heaps mate
miss you so much
love mum and dad xx

What can i say that hasn't all ready been said. I love you little brother and i miss you heaps. Wish you were still here with us I could sure use your shoulder to cry on sometimes, it just sucks not to have you here. Some days are harder then others. It was an honour to be your big sister.
I love you tim and i always will.

For You Tim
Tim
They say memories are golden, well maybe that is true.
We never wanted memories, we only wanted you.
A million times we have needed you, a million times we have cried.
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place no one else could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
Love you mate

Well we can't believe it is 10 weeks today since you were taken from us.
We miss you so much each day and we still visit your grave every day with fresh flowers. A few changes there today - new people on your block - it's nearly full - they're putting in a new row and they have dug the other reserved graves including mine and dad's. The grass is growing well on your grave and it is looking good (except the mess around it).
Yazz and I ordered your headstone yesterday and it should be there prior to your birthday.
We love you mate and miss you so much.
Till we meet again xx
All our love

June 20, 2011
I was doing some research into bronze plaques as a possibility for your headstone today when I came across a beautiful verse.
"Children and their parents never truly part, bound in the beating of each other's heart"
Very true and very sweet.
It's 9 weeks today and we still miss you so much. We love you MATE
Love mum and dad xx

Hey mate
Today is 8 weeks since you died and a little piece of us died with you. We are still visiting your grave every day with a fresh flower. It is starting to look like the best site in the block - the grass seed is starting to grow on the topsoil - can't wait till it's all green. Listening to Carrie Underwood again on TV - maybe they'll play 'Just A Dream' too afterall it is Tuesday.
Miss you heaps mate and love you lots xx

Today it is 7 weeks since we lost you and 5 weeks since we last saw your face. 'Just A Dream' by Carrie Underwood was played on Tuesday 3rd May at your funeral and we have only heard it twice since and today Tuesday was one of those days - is that your sign? The other time we heard it was also a Tuesday at 8.40am (the time of your death) and it was a week after your funeral - I think you are giving us signs. Dad and I hope that where ever your spirit is that you are OK. The rest of us that you left behind are doing the best we can each day but it is so hard without you. It is just not fair - you were so good and didn't deserve to die so young. We miss you so much mate and it still hurts alot. Can't wait till we meet again.
All our love always
love mum and dad xx
so precious
Sue & Rick McMullen
May 30, 2011
Well it will be 6 weeks or 42 days tomorrow since our nightmare began - the day we lost you. Dad and I wake up every morning and go 'yep still the same nightmare, nothing has changed'. Our lives will never be the same again. We have not only lost you 'our precious son' but also a 'good mate'. We are trying to take good care of your grave - we take a fresh flower and our love every day.
We miss you so much mate.
All our love

Tim, you were taken too soon, it still doesn't seem real. You shared many good times with your family and friends, none of which will ever be forgotten. You share the same birthday as my Dad and cousin so that day was special. You will live on in the hearts of many, I'm glad to have known you. There's not enough words to say how we really feel, but we wish that tragic day had never happened. You touched us all differently, not a day goes by when you're not thought of in some way. You're sadly missed by all, we'll never again see that smile or fun loving person we all knew, in our memories is where we'll see you now.
Till we meet again
Rest In Peace Timmy

Poker/Bourbon shenanigans.
Leo Campbell
May 25, 2011
A game of poker, a bourbon and coke, these are just a few of the things that will never be the same without you here, but every card I lay down and every sip of bourbon will remind me of one of the best mates I have, and will ever have. You were a true brother to me, and that means more than I ever told you (because, let's face it, you would've called me a crybaby! :-P). Rest easy, brother, you've touched more people in your short life than many touch in a lifetime.
