Stephen Barker (24) a wild child at heart. Died at 8.43 am on the morning of the 19th August 2008. He leaves a partner Leia and two children Charlie & Jamie. He will be sadly missed by his Mam, Michael, Brother & Sister and his Nanna as well as his extended family.
Stephen truly has gone before his time he had so much to offer this world yet time was taken from him. At 24 he was just setting out in life, his memory will be treasured and not a day will go by where he is not thought of in some little way.
He will always be there, take a look around he is the sunshine in your hair, he is the shadow on the ground, the whisper in the wind and your imaginary friend, he is the beat in your heart, the moonlight shining down. Stephen you will always be in our hearts and thoughts.
We will miss you, but we will continue the fight against leukaemia on your behalf.
Love from all your family.

Will Never Stop Missing You x x
Three years today I heard the phone ring, I instantly knew what was coming and didn't want to hear those words I was dreading to hear. My heart was broken that day I was told you had passed away and I didn't want it to be true. I didn't think I could keep going without you by my side to help through. I tried to be strong for the kids who love and miss you dearly, Jamie will never truely know who his loving Daddy was but with all the stories and memories we all have we will keep your memory alive within him. He is your double and the little things he does remind me of you and your little ways. Charlie misses you as much as me too. We have had nights where we have little chats and times we spend going through your memory box. All our little treasures of you tucked safely away. You were one in a million Stephen, and that will never change x we all love and miss you so much. x keep watch over our children and keep them safe x you will always be in my heart x Love you forever x x x
My Wild Child
Hi Stephen 3yrs today since that awful moment when you slipped away from us.I just want to remind you that you are always loved and missed.
You are a constant thought that is always with me,until we meet again I carry you in my heart.Your children are a credit to you, you have a son that is so like you in lot's of ways and a daughter that misses you terribly, we talk about you lots. You left a void in our family that can never be filled because there was only one of you and you were so special and unique.
Wish I could hold you one more time Stephen.
All my love mam xxxx
Happy christmas 2010

As you watch us from up above tonight and watch your children sleep I know you will have a smile on your face.
Happy christmas son you will always be missed and loved, mam xxxx
My Wild Child
Hi Stephen, it's been 2 years today 8.43 am since we sat together while you slipped away.I want you to know that I love you and miss you as much today as I did then, if not more.
You will always be my wild child, unique and much loved, but I know that your in a wonderful place, free of pain, where there is nothing but peace and joy.
I wish I could hold you one more time but I can't, so I will carry you in my heart until I join you,never a moment passes without a thought of you.
You are my much missed son, my wild child,who showed nothing but courage in those few months of illness and tremendous spirit in those last few hours.
Love you lots mam xxxx

I wish Heaven had a phone so I could hear ur voice again.
I thought of U today, but that is nothing new.
I thought about U yesterday, and days before that too.
I think of U in silence, I often speak your name.
All I have are memories & a picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part.
God has... ...you in his arms, I have you in my heart.
RIP!
