VAN BRAKEL-LAWRENCE Joshuah

Obituary Guest Book 98 Messages
VAN BRAKEL - LAWRENCE
(Joshuah Adam): Passed away unexpectedly. Much loved son of Patrick and Rachel. Step-son of Craig, Skye and Michelle. Big brother of Jake, Billy, Ben, Cody, Jasmyn, Possum and Tiarna. Father of Sophie, grandson of Diny, Jan, Gerard and Willetta, Papa Colin and Nanna Terry. God-son to Sammy and Pete, nephew and cousin to many.
Sadly missed. Forever in our hearts.
Daddy, I will always love you, I know you will be always with me my Guardian Angel.
Love you Daddy. Love always, Sophie.
VAN BRAKEL - Lawrence (Joshuah Adam):
Son, you were the wind beneath my wings. Loved the day you came into this world. The love of my life. We will miss your cheeky smile, beautiful blue eyes. Answers for everything. Now you're my angel.
I will now always be the wind beneath your wings.
Always and forever, Mum.
VAN BRAKEL
(Joshuah Adam):
My Boy You were the glue that holds my heart together. There is now a void that could never be filled by any other cheeky, backchatting ratbag.
I hope you have found peace up there in Paradise City and remember my son when you're up there telling God how to run the place that I miss you and love you forever in a day. Love Dad.
Joshy Boy, I will never forget that sparkle in your eye that brightened that cheeky smile. So glad I got to be a part of your life. The memories will never fade. Love Michelle.

  • to my big bro joshie!
    everyday from since i was born i would look up to, say what you would tell me, i would always take you advice like when i get in trouble at school you would tell me to just give them the finger or tell them to get lost, but now i have no brother to tell me advice, or look up to. everyday i think of you and just wishing your here standing by everyones side. i guess now its time for me to grab a vl a vk or vn put the loudest speakers in there just like you and do some big burnouts like you would.

    your forever in my heart joshie and i will always miss you xxxxx.

    love you little bro..!!!!

  • Josh when I think of you I think why? Why do this when so many loved you? Why leave when we all needed you to stay? Why not believe us when we say I love you? Then I think sorry, sorry for not being there when you needed it, sorry for not calling, or asking if you where okay, and most of all, sorry you didnt know i love you. I miss you more and more each day Josh, i love you

  • Joshuah, no words can explain how much pain everyone has gone through since you've been gone. so many tears and so much heart ache. If you could of only seen how much people cared/how many people were there you were just to blind to see. If only we could turn back time, maybe talked , maybe changed your mind. Every time i see my chelsea she doesn't seem the same without you in this world. It hurts me more then anything to see her upset and the fact i can't do anything about it hurts even more, She's my other soul, she's my ying. I would do anything to see her happy again. If only the last time she saw you was a happy, relaxing time at the wikki pub - with all your friends. Please keep an eye on her from up there! We LOVE you! Your always thought of! Hope your having fun up there!!! We'll see you soon buddy

  • Josh,

    I cant do this without you... i always look at your photo collage on my wall and i wish it wasnt there because you should be here with us all. its not making any sense... i do see now how the saying abscense makes the heart grow fonder... well i miss my bestfriend and i want him back. day by day i want you to come back that much more.
    i hate it. i hate that your not around.

    why couldnt this all be different... why was it you, God could have taken anybody else... a murderer, someone who didnt deserve it... but you, you were our Joshie... our cheeky bugger.

    Never will our world be the same.
    Miss you so much.

  • cherished memories of Josh as a cute little boy coming to "nanna May's" and "Grandad John" loving his icecreams,
    Tuesday, 27 March 2012
  • I miss you so much my son. I wish you were here with me. I need you here. I know that sounds selfish because god needed another sweet charming Angel so he called for you. But I think god forgot how much we all need you. How much a mother needs her son. This mother needs her son. I need to hear your voice, I need to cuddle you and just have my son for 10 more minutes to ask you to stay here with your family. But I can't. So I will ask god to pass you my message of love to you that I am missing you so much so very very much. Loving you with all my heart and I will never let you go. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • Our memories of you are your most treasured possessions that no-one can own but us.

    They will make us laugh about the silly things you did.
    They will make us cry because you arent here and are too far away.
    Our memories of you will bring us joy
    to know that we had you in our lives.
    They will stay with us now and forever as that is all that we have left.

    But the memories are all that I have left of you and I wont let them pass me by.
    The memories that I have are from the beginning of your time, to every step you took as you walked through your life.

    I remember things as they pop into my mind.
    When I see or someone or something who reminds me of you.
    When I visit places that were special to just us.

    I will never forget you and cherish what we had with the time that we were able to have together my darling son.

    I love you my darling son with all my heart.
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Always and Forever

  • To my dearest big brothe Josh,

    Day by day I think of you,
    How can all this be true?
    I can't believe you're really gone,
    I still can't accept it,
    ... It feels so wrong.

    Just the thought of you makes me cry,
    I never even got the chance to say goodbye.
    Every picture, every letter,
    I don't know if it will ever get better!

    I never imagined you would be so far away,
    You were my brother and I loved you like no other.
    In my heart you will always be,
    You'll be my guide to help me see.

    I miss you with all my heart,
    I wish you never had to part!
    I know you will always be by my side
    So now I guess this is goodbye....

    Rest In Paradise Joshie. I will always hold you in my heart forever
    Your Dearly Love Always & Forever
    Jazzie xoxo

  • To My Baby Boy,
    To me you will always be my baby boy.
    A month has past and it's all so hard,
    Why were we dealt this horrible card.
    A daddy, our little cousin and big brother,
    Our sweet nephew we love you like no other.
    The is month has passed,
    The question we all still ask.
    Why have you gone, and why take you,
    You have so much more to do.

    Still the pain hurts my darling boy just you remember that Mum loves you I always have and I always will.
    Always and Forever my baby boy.

    Friday, 16 March 2012
  • Josh.... to know you has been a blessing... to lose you has just been the most heartbreaking time in my life. 20 days you have been gone, and on the 20th day it still hasnt hit me that i dont get you here with me today.
    We had our ups and downs just like any good friendship had, but we were more than that. you were a big brother... an inspiration. i looked up to you and what you had already overcome in life. you were happy and you always had that beautiful smile to cheer anyone up (i swear thats how you made all the girls weak at the knees haha)

    i will never forget the memories both good and bad because that is what made us so close.

    watch down on all of us, especially your mum and dad. we all wish we could have one more day, even an hour...

    I love you Josh, im jealous of the angels they get to spend time with you and we dont.

    Always thinking of you
    From your lil sis paigeypoo.

    There is no-one that could ever replace you my boy.
    Missing you and loving you Always and Forever.
    Your Mummy Always xxxxxxxxxxx

  • Good morning Joshie boy. Your mum is so very right all your mums and dads love you so so much. How all our hearts have broken that your not with us. From the moment we became a part of each others lives did i not once stop loving caring and worrying about u. I smile remembering u so young yet u had so much to say. Always telling me a story about something you'd never stop talking. And forever with that cheeky grin and smiling eyes. I cried so so much last night and chatted with u. I hope you heard me. Please watch over your precious mum and dad. They need you so so much.
    Take care mate. Xxxxxxxxxx

I just wish you would come home I would prefer fight with you 100x over and go through everything we went through 100x over then to loose you, your cheeky smile that won the parents over constantly, your crazy attitude good and bad and your genuine heart!
