    You have always been in my heart sam. Special to me from your early days. Probably not obvious to you but I loved how different you were ..it made you stand out as someone special.

As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of your life. However, at some station our parents will step down f...

    🕯 Ray O'Brien lit a candle Your birthday weekend in Bowen was an adventure. It was lovely at times but really it was very challenging for the most part. It was wonderful to catch up with your workmates on Friday night at Grays bay, at the shelter where they first met you. They shared many funny stories about your antics in the office. It was very...

    🕯 Jordana Johnson lit a candle You’ve been on my mind a lot lately, wondering what you would be doing now, you’d be getting excited about going to mission beach with us for Easter, or we probably would’ve visited you in Mackay for the weekend. Also it’s my bday soon and it’ll be my first one without you....which is super weird, I know you would’ve...

    🌷 Donalee O'Brien gave a flower Love and miss you everyday Sweetheart. Thinking of this time last year when we were getting ready to head to Bowen for Good Friday.

    🕯 Sarah Jones lit a candle Have been thinking of you Sam. There are many occasions that pass here that remind me of how passionate you were about so many things. State of Origin being the biggest! Sorry the Maroons couldn’t give you a win this year, NSW do have to win once in a while ;). It saddens me quite often that you are no longer here. Kno...

I wish I could give you a big hug and kiss for your birthday. Know that I am thinking of you and love you to the moon and back infinity times. Lots and lots of love Mummy

    Donalee O'Brien25 Nov 2019

    Jordana Johnson Can’t believe it’s coming upto 6 years that we lost you. You have two beautiful nieces (and another two babies on their way) that have heard all about you. I’m sad because I know you would’ve been such a fun uncle and the kids would’ve wanted for nothing with you. Hadlee talks about you being in heaven more and more now, I know you’re looking out for everyone wherever you are. We love you and miss you everyday ❤️

    Hey Sammy, Wishing you the happiest of Birthdays. Hope you have a wonderful day in Heaven. Love you to the moon and back a million times. Mum and Dad
