As a result of the thoughtless actions of individuals who chose to drive a stolen car whilst under the influence of alcohol. Our beautiful son Ashley lost his life.

We are so very proud of our son Ashley, he was a devoted and loving son and brother to his family. Ashley was a mature, thoughtful and infectiously funny boy, who was never happier than when he was with those he loved. We will always remember him for his ability to enter a room and immediately make all those present smile and laugh.

Ashley was a tall, handsome young man but his most memorable quality was his sense of humour. All those who had the good fortune to meet our son would remember him fondly for his ability to bring joy and happiness to any situation.

Typical of Ashley was his very obvious love of his younger sister, who loved him deeply. He would always show concern for her, more often than not taking time to reassure her when needed. She has lost a loving, caring and compassionate brother which has profoundly affected her.

Ashley was delighted to have been accepted to study Forensic Science at Mid-Cheshire College, a dream he had since his early days at Verdin High School. He was a talented student who was rarely happier than when he was working on his college studies. There is no doubt in our minds that he would have achieved all of his dreams and aspirations.

More recently, Ashley was focused on his desire to pass his driving test and had been taking driving lessons for some months. His instructor often commented on how quickly Ashley had become a competent driver – β€œa natural driver”.

Ashley had many interests in life, including music and movies. He was never happier than when spending time with friends and family. He was just as happy to spend time at home with friends and family as going out spending time with his mates – being with people he cared for was something from which Ashley took great pleasure.

We have all been deeply affected by the events of the last week and the pain has been unbearable for us to deal with. The pain associated with Ashley being prematurely taken from us cannot be described. The loss of a son is something a mother and father should never have to endure. Our only hope is that one day we will be able to take strength from Ashley’s happy life and the memories that have enriched our lives.

We will now focus all our energy and love on retaining our memories of a deeply loved son and brother, whilst ensuring that our daughter has a happy and fulfilled life.

Thinking of you forever and always, hoping that you are looking down on all those that loved you.

All our love, always
Mum, Dad and Sister



YOU ARE (Translation of the song playing Tu Sei - Vittorio Grigolo)

For me, you are the story that the blade of grass narrates to the morning dew.
You are the cloud that goes with the wind before the rain falls
You are the dream that never ends even when dawn light breaks
For me, you are the flower that’s re-born, no matter what.

You are... I cannot find the words but the beat of my heart says it all.
If you wish I will give you words that with wings will fly to you, wherever you are.
You are the water that is pure and true to its source
You are the melody that wraps my spirit with its slow notes
For me, you are the moss that without even asking is warmed by the stone
For me, you are the river that carries me in its current.

You are... I cannot find the words but the beat of my heart says it all.
If you wish I will give you silence and a glimpse at these feelings
And you will understand, only you
Because you are.

Why you? What did you ever do? My heart is sunk int my stomach without you here. Meeting you was like meeting an angel for real yet now youve taken your rightous place in heaven even though you shouldnt be there you should be here. DeeJay, Chloe and your dad are such an inspiration there all so strong i jusst dont know how they do it sometimes i really dont. I have never forgot the moment you were gone i broke down and scream it killed me! I see your face everytime i close my eyes and i never want that to start, you are my own guardian angel. I hope your happy up there. Its your 19th tomorrow and we all know you should be here with us but your not :( You better be there tonight to blow out your candles and if you can make a shooting star happen just for my reassurance. I Love and miss you unconditionally Ashley Lee O'Brien, id do anything for you to be back home where you belong. I'll never forget you but always remember its not goodbye its see you later

...Always close to you
**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**

When youre feeling lonely
And theres no place you can go
Re,live all your memories
Let the past make you feel whole

**~**~**~**~**~**~**

When the tears start falling
And you dont know what to do
Think of all the tender moments
Your Angel spent with you

**~**~**~**~**~**~**

When theres no one to talk to
And your heart is broke in two
Never fear your Angels near
They will always follow you

**~**~**~**~**~**~**

We will always miss our Angels
In everything we do
And when we feel theres no one
You'll feel them close to you

Waiting at the Door

I can’t explain so deep inside
The very fabric of my soul
Only a heart that grieves such loss
Can ever truly understand

It’s like you’re waiting at the door
Until a loved one comes back home
You feel a longing in your heart
When they appear the longing stops

But in a loss that never ends
You’re always standing at that door
You feel the longing in the breeze
So incomplete and never filled

I cannot find the words to say
Just what it’s like to want forever
Never seeing them again
Just always waiting at the door
