Kane’s Story
Kane was born in Consett on the 05/06/90. He entered this world weighing 4lb 6oz. He was a
beautiful baby & was loved by all. When he was growing up he was always thin, this used to worry me
but it was just the way he was.
Kane is the third son of Christina.
Kane has two older brothers Joel and Nick; he also has a younger brother Matthew and a little sister
Lynnette.
Kane did not have an easy life. He worried about his little brother as he has a severe heart
condition. He worried about anyone when they were ill or sad.
He had to work hard at things and was bullied when he was young.
Kane cared for people; he would make things for them & spend his money on others. He would buy
things for no reason other than to give or make some-one happy.
Kane loved Japanese cartoon art and was always drawing or painting. He was great at drawing
pictures of people. He loved to create things and would make things out of wood or anything else he
could find.
He would try to do anything I asked him whether it was fixing a light or plumbing a shower.
Although not everything he "fixed" worked again. He once spent hours fixing the kitchen heater & it
has never worked since. Another time he replaced all the door handles for me and one is at 45
degrees. He would always try though.
Kane could be very clumsy but it could be so funny. When he was young he was determined to climb
this tree and fell out of the same tree four times but he did it in the end. He once fell down the
stairs and got up and ran into the wall. I have many memories like this and cherish every one of
them.
Kane left this Earth on the 07/03/07. The day before his death he was upset about an email he had
from his ex girlfriend but we talked and he was fine. The day of his death he was going to see
about an apprenticeship he had applied for. He had no money left so I gave him a few pounds & my
last words to him were " I'm not that bad am I?", he smiled his cheeky smile & replied " I’ve got
my keys". He left the house at lunch time. I had to go out & passed him 2 minutes from his
destination, which was the last time I saw my baby alive. When I returned home I had a bad feeling
so I tried to phone him, there was no answer so I kept trying. After a while I went looking for him
and at 10pm I phoned the police.
Two officers came to the house and after a while told me they had found the body of a young lad at
the bottom of the Gill Bridge. I was devastated and still am. They would not let me see him until
2pm the next day. I had to identify his body, his brother Nick was with me. I went in to shock and
never questioned things so when they said he had jumped I did not ask why.
At his funeral some-one told me Kane did not jump or fall. I was in a state & did not take it in.
Later those words came back and I started to question things. And if I could find the name of the
person that told me.
I phoned the police and two CID officers came. I was asked if I was sure I heard right?
Kane was found at the bottom of a 180ft bridge, he had no broken bones, and he had two marks on his
forehead, a bruised nose, a black eye, two bust lips & a bruised right ear. I was told he was found
in a shopping trolley.
Kane was found at 5pm on a bright day and had been there a couple of hours.
How come no-one saw him?
There were a lot of people at Kane's funeral and I did not know them all. Kane had no reason to
jump, he was starting the apprenticeship and wanted to start his own business, he had updated his
bebo the night before and the things he wrote were not the things some-one that was suicidal would
write.
He was also trying to trace his dad and had talked about how much he wanted children when he was
older. Kane had a lot of love to give and was loved. I do not believe my son took his own life and
never will.
If you knew Kane and would like to add pictures or stories about him to his site please do so.
I would like to thank everyone for the candles & tributes left for Kane. They help us so much;
reading the kind messages left here helps me get through each day. I am still fighting for justice
for Kane and will never give up.
Thank you for your support Christina xxx

I'll never forget you Kane
I think about you every day. It gets me upset to remember our time in moorside...
You and Ben comparing anime pictures sticks in my mind the most.
And that leather coat.
And when we went to alansford and drenched you with suncream hehe
I cant think why anyone wouldnt like you, you were nice to everybody all the time.
We left you a lighter with your flowers. So you wont ever need to ask anyone for a light for your tabs =P
R.I.P Kane
We'll always miss you, and always love you

Kane I know me and you did not get a chance to know each other more but however I did get to a few things about you. You were s great drawer as the pictures I have seen were impressive. When I first looked at your dragon ball z picture I thought wow. Then Matthew told me that you had you had done it. Also that drawing made me realise that I was good drawer and got me to start drawing again. Also that why I drew picture of nick and the dragon and sword. When nick told me you wanted to start your own businesses I straight away thought you will be successful. As I think that people who do have or want to start one don’t have the qualities that you have. I don’t mean the qualification, experience and etc. What I mean is that you had the soul and the heart of wanting to start one your own.
When we did talk you always listen to me and never seem to get tired off me also you always put a smile on your face everytime I was there. I thought you were kind, caring funny young man even though you wond up your bro and sis. Also I thought you would have made a great uncle to your niece and nephew.
Athough you gone you will always be in my heart and your families forever. I know your gone somewhere but I hope that place where you are is a better place. Where you will always watch us from above (including now) and that you will be with your granddad. And lastly you will be with a load of women while having a fag. And like I said to your bro nick you were a brother to me and that I promise to give the love and care he needs and deserve also same for your family
this guy was my best friend.
someone i cherised deeply and will never ever forget.
he was like a brother to me, the one i never had.
now he has been taken away, i feel lost.
it has been 5 weeks now, since this happened.
and i don't believe it for a second.
Kane wouldn't want anyone to feel pain.
He was a good lad.
Loyal, trustworthy,kind and caring.
i wish i knew what had happened.
i really do.
like everyone else does.
my heart goes out to his family,
they should be proud of such an amazing son and brother
hopefully somewhere kane you can see this, see how i miss you everyday and wish you could be here.
i love you so much. i will never ever forget you. RIP mate xx
An Angel named Kane
An Angel named Kane
indeed visited me one day
and touched my heart so tenderly
He stood by my side, right up close
Then place his hand upon my shoulder
And whispered to me...
Please take care of my Mam for me
tell her i be there for eternity
I will keep them all safe
now i am an angel watching from above
I'm only a whisper away from you Mam
Whisper my name and i be there by your side
will send you signals so you'll know its me
a rainbow, a robin, a butterfly
A gentle breeze on a clear blue day
Tell my brothers and sister i love them so
I am so very proud how brave they have become
Tell my Dad i am sorry we didn't meet
I did intend to go looking for him
But do not be afraid to cry
it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers
unless there was some rain
When you're walking down the street
and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind
And when it's time for you to go
from your body to be free
Remember you're not going
you're coming here with me
Love you always Mam!
Rest in peace Kane

I hope that kane may rest in peace but also watches over those who love and miss him so much.
I hope the messages you recieve give you some small comfort.

My thoughts are with you
Christina my heartfelt sympathies go out to you. I met Kane at my daughters 16th birthday party last year, what a lovely lad. My son Ben died in January so I know where you are at the moment. We live close and if you ever need to talk to someone who understands how you are feeling then just yell and I will be there.
Also I use the Child Bereavement Trust website family message board. It is a real support.
Take care of yourself and go easy on yourself
