Lindsey Fawson Obituary

Lindsey Rae Fawson (Linz) (Poopers) Lindsey died tragically at the age of 22 Monday, May 16, 2005 following a senseless act of violence. She was born Friday, August 27, 1982 in Salt Lake City. In the short years she spent on this earth she has accomplished a great deal. She gave life to two precious and darling spirits that will carry her love and memory throughout their lives. She was an accomplished saxophone player through her school years. Lindsey possessed a great love for animals. She loved to care for them, no matter the species, she had to have one or two or three (No More!!!). If we didn't know her better you'd think she was related to Noah of Biblical times, and would have thought her home was the Ark. She had a gift with animals, she even taught her dog, "Athena" to skate board. Lindsey loved to snowboard with her family, and persuaded her younger sister, Chelsea, to change venues from snow skiing to snowboarding after Chelsea's father outfitted her with skis. Chelsea's father was not happy. Lindsey has touched many hearts and now that she is gone the emptiness we feel without her will need to be filled with what she has left behind. Lindsey leaves us with many special memories and her life she has shared with us is invaluable and irreplaceable. Her special spirit will now be able to be shared with others that did not know her up in heaven. When you look at her picture it is apparent the genuineness of her person and of her spirit. Her smile along with the sparkle of her eyes showed us the kind of person she was. When she was a little girl, she had freckles all over her face, and her mother told her that these were angel kisses. The angels did bless her with a gift, and that gift she truly shared with all of us whether she knew it or not. She possessed a heart of gold. She truly cared how other people felt, and offered her help selflessly on many occasions. What may have been reported may not have been the actual case. She was a loving, caring person and the memories of our precious Lindsey will live on in every one who has been a part of her life. She is survived by her two sons, Terrance Alyjah and Thomas Izayah Fawson; father, Brent R. Fawson; mother, Tessie Lee (Robert) Seneca; grandparents, George and Arlene Fawson; nephews, Taylor Joseph and Curtis James Loftus, Cannon Austin and Kaiden William Fawson; sisters, Stacey Joy Fawson, Nichole L. (Joseph) Loftus; step-sisters and brother, Natalie, Chelsea and Wayne Seneca. Lindsey is preceded in death by grandparents, Kenneth W. and Eura J. Shields; and an aunt, Betty J. Densley Tribute services will be held Tuesday, May 24, 2005, 11:00 a.m. at Jenkins-Soffe South Valley, 1007 W. South Jordan Pkwy, (10600 So.) where family and friends may visit Monday from 6-9 p.m. and Tuesday 9:30-10:30 a.m. Interment, Redwood Memorial. To assist with the children's future a trust fund has been established at any Zion's Bank branch in Lindsey's name.

Dear Lindsey's family,

Our family lost our baby girl, Chelsea Eskelson Patterson, July 26th. She was taken from us in an auto accident on her Daddy's birthday, he was with her. She was only 20 years old. We celebrated her 21st Birthday on September 19th. A wonderful friend of ours sent me a copy of Lindsey's memorium and I just needed to tell you how sorry we are for your loss. Everything you wrote touched my heart because we are living through everything you said. Those who have never lost a child cannot relate to the constant ache we feel, it never goes away. We just have to believe that our little girls accomplished so much in this life that they were called to do even greater things. Your Lindsey sounds like an incredible young woman, just like our Chelsea. Chels was the light of our entire family's lives. Lindsey's little boys are adorable and I am sure they are able to bring you and your family so much comfort. Again, I just needed to say "thank you" for saying all the things that my husband, our children, Chelsea's new husband (they only married a short 8 months ago) and I are feeling. Our hearts truly break for you and your family. We wish you love and peace. We have asked everyone to "Hold your loved ones close, every minute of every day, tell them they are loved as many times as you can and if our little girl crosses your mind, please do something nice, something to help someone who needs it" With love,

Darrell and Yvonne Eskelson

Even though it Has Been a month since the passing of Lindsey Rae Fawson. I will never forget. She was there On the Day My Son Was Born.I held and watch elijah. I was there to hold him when he was two days old. I have had hard times and bad times and always she has smiled and made jokes. She was a person you woulD love to meet. When she cried you felt her pain.I look at my son evey day and remember her. It wasnt my son's father who held him. It was Lindsey. Seeing her cry like as if he was her's. She is not just another child who died. she was a God's child,Tessie's Child (flesh and blood),a cousin,mother,sister No one can get over the loss of a child,mother father,Ect. Even though times pass there strength gets stronger. they continue there lives never ever forgetting the love lost. Not every one beleive's in guiadian angels but I know somewhere she is guiding a lost soul. and that i can tell you. I know!I lost a great-grandmother,I think about her every day. Just days after her death-her husband died from a broken heart.(literally)So I ask the family of lindsey. Pray for her,pray for yourself,love each other,and stay so strong that no one can break the love.everyone understands death usually but those who have seen it understands fully. Bless the family and freinds and keep there tears flowing. because as long as you cry you are ALIVE.And she will know she is thought about often and loved no matter what her children are in great hands. Keep strong tessie. they are all beautiful.

Dear Niki, Stacy, Brent & Tesse,

My family and I were so saddened when we heard about Lindsey. I remember her as a little girl when she and Tammy would play together. It's difficult to make any sence of such a tragic ending to such a beautiful young life. Although it's been years since we lived next door or since we have crossed paths, I wanted to send you my love. Lien on your angels. You know who they are. Some are here and some are on the other side. May you be blessed with strength and your souls be comforted.

Dear family and friends of Lindsey, I am tremendously sorrowful for the loss of such a bright and outgoing person as Lindsey. I had the joy of knowing Lindsey as we grew up together, many trips to Lake Powell and memories of laughs that will be close to my heart forever. Lindsey will be greatly missed and the joy of knowing that I'll meet with her again, lifts my heart. I love you Lindsey!!

Tessie & Family,

Although it's been a few years since we've seen one another Tess, I wanted to let you know my heart goes out to you and your family. I wish I had some great words of wisdom that could speed the healing process and soothe the ache in the hearts of Lindsey's loved ones. I lost my mom very recently and while it is a different pain, I can appreciate the tremendous sense of loss you are all suffering. Please know I will be praying that the Lord will provide special blessings that will bring acceptance, peace, forgiveness and healing to each of you.

May God keep you all in His loving care.

Sincerely,

Shawnee

Lindsey was such a great friend to me. She had and has an impact on my life that is everlasting. I will always love her, for she was the dearest friend to me. My thoughts dwell on her everyday. I know that her wonderful spirit will go on forever and ever. Anyone who truely knew her, felt that true even before this terrible tragedy. I will continue to pray for Stacey throughout this hard time (for I know her pain is awful great). I am so sorry, and I am sure that Lindsey Rae's advise and short time on this earth will go a long ways. I will never forget you!

Dear Lindsey's Loved Ones,

You have been in my families thoughts and prayers every day since your tragic loss. Our little boy's went to Midvalley Head Start together, and I was so proud to see Alyjah recieve his certificate of completion on Friday. Lindsey has two very beautiful and strong boys; may the Lord grant them, and you with peace.

My deepest sympathies,

Tessie,

You are such an amazing woman. We need more moms, sisters, and friends like you in this world. I feel blessed even knowing you, and feeling your love and strength when i am around you. Lindsey is so beautiful, and i know she is so happy looking down at you, and watching you raise her sons so perfect just like you raised her. Those little boys will always have so many good memories of their mom, and i know that her spirit will always be watching over her wonderful, loving family.

Tessie, Stacie & Family,

Below is a poem a friend of mine posted to my sister's guestbook when her son passed away. We still miss my nephew and no words will take away the pain but know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Please, don’t ask me if I am over it yet.

I’ll never be over it.

Please, don’t tell me she is in a better place.

She isn’t here with me.

Please, don’t say at least she isn’t suffering.

I haven’t come to terms with why she had to suffer at all.

Please, don’t tell me you know how I feel.

Unless you have lost a child

Please, don’t ask me if I feel better.

Bereavement isn’t a condition that clears up.

Please don’t tell me at least you had her for so long.

What year would you choose for your child to die?

Please, don’t tell me God never gives us more than we can bear.

Please, just tell me you are sorry.

Please, just say you remember my daughter, if you do.

Please, mention her name.

Please, just let me cry.

Children are gifts to make memories for our soul.

We hold them and mold them and watch them as they grow.

How long we will keep this gift is so very hard to know.

One thing is for certain, of the memories we never let go.

I do not know your family; however, I was deeply saddened by the tragedy that has happened to your family. It is obvious by the condolences that you have received, that Lindsey was an amazing young woman. My thoughts are with you at this time. I will also hold my own children closer. Life is so fragile.

My family sends their deepest sympathy to you and yours at the passing of this special girl. Lindsey was like a daughter to me and Tasha and Chere were very close to her and Stacie over the last 19 years. She will be in our hearts always and sorely missed. We are grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ that teaches us how precious daugherts, mothers, sisters grandmothers, friends and family are in His sight and the wonderful promise they have of eternal life and glory in the Celestial Kingdom with Our Heavenly Father. May the Lord's Spirit bring you comfort to know Lindsey lives and enjoys a better life at this moment! With sympathy,

Tessie, Robert, Brent & Family,

My heart goes out to all of you. Although I have not been around for the past few years Lindsey was an inspiration as the two of us grew up together. A couple of weeks ago I was telling my mother that I needed to find a way to get in contact with her again and now I wish I was more persistant.

I am glad for the many memories that I have of my time with Lindsey though. I remember our long nights on the phone and days that we would sit in the beauty parlor doing our hair and make-up for no reason at all. The two of us would dance and sing like crazy and she had the voice of an angel. She was always someone that I could go to with my problems and she always new just what to say, she was a great listener and a great girl.

Thank you to all of you for being there for me as I was growing up. To Tessie and Robert, thank you for being my second set of parents when I was a teenager and needed it.

Lindsey, I can;t believe that you are gone, I really am going to miss you. For about 16 or 17 years you were my best friend and my sister, I will never forget that. I love you.

Stacey,

I know that it has been 5 1/2 years since we have seen or talked to eachother, but i think of you often. When i heard Lindseys name on Breaking News Monday night, i went numb because i was in such a state of shock, and all i can think about is you and your family and how much Lindsey meant to everyone of you. I am so sorry for your loss. All my Love, Rachel and family

I'm so terribly sorry for this tragic loss. I can't imagine how y'all must feel and I'm sorry doesn't express it well enough but please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Lindsey was our son's teacher at KinderCare in Draper ... he still talks about her bunny "Brownie". She always had such a beautiful welcoming smile for us each day – and my son (as we all did) adored her. Her death was senseless, horrific and tragic - my heart aches for her family and friends - but most of all to her precious sons. For the brief time I knew her in contrast to a lifetime, she touched my whole family. I have a 5 yr old and 3 yr old, which makes my grieving very close to home. It seems cliché to say, but if there is anything my family can do – even if it’s just play dates with the boys – our home is open to your family. Nothing any of us can say will ease your pain, but just know that Lindsey was loved by many, touched the hearts of children and families, and will be sorely missed. – The Armstrong Family

A great time at Lake Powell enjoying our childrens youth and a wonderful friendship

I do not know your family but was very touched and saddened by your loss.
