You are now the brightest star in the night's sky you LEG-END xx

I went and had a game with youth the other day and as soon as i saw that picture of you next to the table i just froze solid and couldn't take my eyes off you. You always looked so flamboyant on the baize, a proper character with the ability to match and when i look at that picture, it grasps everything about you as a snooker player. So classy you were Barnesy (i always told you that lefties were the ones blessed with flair didn't i lol) i'm filling up here writing this ya know. I can see you now, looking down, laughing your arse off at me lol. As a person, you were simply the very best. Infact, words are yet to be invented in the English language that can correctly explain how great a man you are (you'll always be living in my mind). The sort of guy that when you had a good day, you'd celebrate with a pint and when you had a bad day, you'd celebrate with 2 pints (AT LEAST lol). I miss you mate, i miss your sense of humour and your laid back nature. I just wish we could have had more time together playing, drinking, chatting, the usual sort of stuff but that'll have to wait now until my time comes to join you up there, sat next to the 'big cheese' lol. You have made an impact on all our lives, have touched our hearts and souls and those memories never fade away. Love you saaaan, rest easy mate cause when i get up there, we are having a best of 19 for a tenner NO ARGUEMENTS lol. RIP darlin, love Emmsy xxxxxxxxxx

Just sat thinking about the times we shared, just makes me think how lucky I am to have those moments and memories of a true friend and a constant entertainment system :) you were truly one of the greatest, never met anyone who put other people before themselves as much as you, you were loyal and caring to all those you met. You will always leave an impression on me and would be a honour to have a single chance of emulating the way you lived your life...as we all know... was to the full. I think about all the times you made me laugh and things still make me laugh hard now ... i have so many memories that i could share but it hurts to much to know i wont be able to share them with you anymore...but 1 day we will catch up over a very nice cold beverage and we will all be together again :) you really have gone too soon mate life wont be the same without your ass, just know you were one of the best and will never be forgotten, you were part of a close bond and very much a centre piece to so many peoples lives. Will see you again one day son... i miss you and love you always coco xxx

I need you, i want you, i miss you & i love you!

I'm still numbed by the pain at the thought of you not being here. Everything is still so unreal, and i've still not figured out how exactly i'm going to accept that this has actually happened. I still go over & over it in my mind. I know i shouldn't but i can't let this go without an answer. I just don't get why it had to happen to the most caring, helpful, funny, honest and beautiful person in the world when there are so many idiots out there it makes my blood boil! Every jagerbomb & vodka redbull i make, every girls aloud song i hear, every thursday night, every blue t-shirt i see, every man united match on tv, every snooker table in sight, everything, reminds me of you. Can't believe i've lost one of my best friends, there will always be a gap in my life, a hole in my heart that will never, ever be replaced. I miss you more and more everyday. Love you, forever & always, all the sugar in the world! Crazy elephant xx

A true legend. . .

Barnes, i still can't believe that you are not here anymore. .i keep expecting to see ur cheeky grin smiling over at me whenever i go out and i think, like most people, that you are going to be out because you always were, we could all always count on you when it came to going to town! I remember when i first met u, at pockets of course, when me and Zoe went with Ali and then we all soon became the 'pockets crew' and we would all spend endless and often pointless hours sat down there, but we all just couldn't resist going down almost every night :) You will never be forgotten, you were a huge part of so many peoples lives and your memory will live on in us all, forever. . I miss you Barnes, sleep tight babe x x x

Barnsey I still can’t believe we have lost such an amazing, genuine, Caring, Loving and Loyal Legend Like you! There is a part of my heart which will never be fixed n I will always feel something missing, but I Know that we have had so many memories together that I will treasure for the rest of my life. You've left foot prints in a lot of people hearts, I no for a fact you are missed truly. I hope you like what we have all done to your bus stop it looks beautiful. I know you’ve been looking after your family, who must say are truly amazing people just like yourself. I want to say I am privileged to have been so close to you, I counted you as a brother to me because you were the first person I would come to with my problems, no matter what time of day or night you were always there. You were the life and soul of the party. You are the best Son, Brother, Friend and Uncle. I know you’re going to stay with us forever and one day I will see you again. I miss you I love you ill never ever forget you xx
