hi im writing this about my brother, Gareth John Bolwell or known to all of his friends as Smiler. he suddenly died on the 21st may 2004 age 21 years old.
Grew up at pantside in the family home with mam ,dad and nan, always had a smile on his face special for the girls, he was a bubble person always up for a laugh, he liked is drink to much sometimes.
growing up with gareth he was always there for me he would tell me all his secrets and what he got up to all the time.
On 18 july 2003 i had my daughter chloe and gareth loved her and he would do anything for her he always said he would like to adopt her lol, he had one wish that he wanted to see chloe has a bridemaid, when she was 10 month old he died.
On the 18 may 2004 gareth went out with 2 friends for a drink in the house and then came wednesday morning he was black and blue with scares on his chest and he said he was fighting so night came and he fell very ill his chest started hurting and he came down with a bad cold and getting very hot, on thursday i seen my brother and we chatting he was still all sore but he said he was feeling a bit better at the night so we was going to go fishing on friday morning for a laugh like, Friday morning came my mam got up for work at 6 went in to see him he was just sat up in bed watching telly like he aways do and said he feels better today so my mam went to work my dad was in bed cos he was nights. Gareth he got up had a cupper and he started breathing all weried so my nan went and wake up my dad and time my dad went out there to see him he was all blue so my dad done all he could but he stoped breathing and when the ambulance came he was still not breathing so my dad phoned me to say that he is going to hospital so my friend took me up to my mam and dads house and they was gone and my nan was crying in the house so i went to the hospital with my boyfriend at that time whent in to see mam and dad and he was died so me and my boyfriend went in and seen him to say good bye which must off been the hardest thing to do because we was so close we could not lay him to rest for 2 months, its been 2 years now since he died.
He meant the world to me and always will.
I love him so much.

hi just wanted to pay my respect to gareth and his family. my brother died at 21yrs of head injurys after hitting his head on a lampost in 2001. i understand ur pain i had my little boy a week after burring andrew and that was hard cos new every body was still greiving andrew and then were trying to be happy for me it wasn't nice at all. i hope u've got plenty of picutres of gareth with ur little girl i know now how precious pictures are. ive got loads of my boys. it must have been hard for ur dad been there i hope hes ok but then bet it was hard for ur mam cos she wasn't death is a strange thing i know with my brother he was in intensive care for 11 days and really from the first phone call i got to say he was in hospital that he wasn't gona come home but i had 11 days to say my good byes, but when some one dies suddenly like gareth every bit of u wanted to be with him even thought u know it wasn't nice it really is a strange thing, any way i hope all ur family is doing ok and from a sisters point i now how u feel my thoughts are with u xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
