Lee Joseph Thomas (25 Jul 1981 - 2 Feb 2019)

Goodnight god bless Lee back in arms off your nan and family xxx

Rest in peace now lee. Gutted about your early passing, sad for the brother you left behind because he loved you so much. You had a troubled life son but you found some happiness along the way. As a young boy you was always an introvert. Never easy to read or figure out what was going through your mind. I remember me and a mate taking you. And Stephen to Mac Donald's. When you were 5 Stephen was whooping and hollering for a shoulder ride so I put him on my shoulders and I said to lee do you want a shoulder ride, you shrugged your shoulders and said " not bothered ". So my mate hoisted you up and we walked together . I watched you and how you responded and the expression on your face for a 5 year old was hilarious, but also thought provoking. It was the face of indifference to it all. Expressionless, neither joy nor sorrow.
As you grew into a young man we shared some good laughs and you always showed me the utmost respect, you also had my back once or twice. I know how much love you had for your 2 children as you talked about them all the time.
I'll miss you . The thought of not setting my eye on you again is a sad one. Rest now son. Xx

I met Lee when he was a toddler, my brother and Sue had Stephen together. Lee was 2 by then. There was ups and downs. Talk about a rocky ride !!!! Sometimes, but Nanna Mary kept them both safe. Not going to say I knew Lee in his later life. We were always in the background though. For Stephen I send hugs, hopefully this will be your last loss for a while. Sending hugs to his children. and you of course. Xxxx

I’ll always remember lee as a funny cheeky caring lad who turned out to be a good friend during my teens. We shared some funny nights out and he always made sure we got home safely. Absolutely gutted hearing this news, I hope your now at peace. All our love Jennie and family ❤️
