George Faulkner - 24.05.91 - 10.10.08 Rest In Peace.
Sam Wakefield & George Faulkner - Forever and Always
George Faulkner, everyone who met him loved him. He had the most infectious smile and laugh, his fun and loving nature made him so special to me and was two of many reasons why I loved him so much.
He had so many friends who miss him so much, no one will ever forget the amazing times we all spent with George and the funny things he did.
I miss him so much it hurts, its so unfair that such an amazing person has been taken from us and its hard to believe. George made everyday that I spent with him amazing, I wouldnt change any of the memories I have of him. I Wish we could have him back more than anything! its not fare.
I miss him so much, we all do.
I love you George, always will.

Your Sam xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Bob (15), George's brother: "He lived his life to the max and in the 17 years that he had he probably did more than most people would do in a lifetime.
He has been to many places across the world with his family and seen many great things. He also made some great friends over the years who he shared some amazing times with. He was Everton through and through and even had an Everton tattoo on his arm to show his passion for football and Everton. He enjoyed sports and was very athletic.
He had followed his ambition to become an apprentice joiner and was enjoying the experience. George had an amazing life and was surely going to have an amazing future.
George was an amazing brother and friend. I couldn’t have asked for more really.
He made me laugh, he always stuck up for me and we had thousands of memories being together. I’m going to make him so proud and words can’t describe what a great person he was. Love you so much, R.I.P. See you soon xxx”
A TEENAGER was killed crossing the road hours before he was due to fly to Greece to celebrate his girlfriend’s 16th birthday.
George Faulkner, 17, was on his way home from a birthday party in Eccleston when he was hit by a car on the eastbound carriageway of the East Lancs Road in St Helens.
The apprentice joiner, from Bushey Lane, Rainford, was due to stay at his girlfriend Sam Wakefield’s home on Friday night.
But he changed his mind at the last minute and made his way home to pack.
Everton season ticket holder George was due to fly to Rhodes for a two-week holiday with Sam and her family at 7pm on Saturday.
As he crossed the road at Windle Island he was hit by a silver Ford Ka and was pronounced dead at the scene at 11pm.
His parents John and Sue, aged 56 and 49, and 15-year-old brother Bob have been inundated with condolence cards and messages of support.
Mrs Faulkner said: “George was a loveable rogue and was always making his mates laugh.
“He will be sadly missed, leaving a massive gap in the life of his family and friends.
“He was really enjoying life and looking forward to spending two weeks with his girlfriend and her family in Rhodes to celebrate her 16th birthday.”
“He had intended to catch the last bus home from Windle Island but unfortunately never made it.
3 years today
Cant believe its 3 years today, its weird how i dread this day all year when really everyday is the same. Its a chilling reminder of the horrible night you was taken from us so i could say that i actually hate this day.
I miss you and would give anything to see you one more time, sometimes i feel like i will see you again. I see you in my dreams but i'd love to have one more hug from you because im starting to forget what your hugs and kisses felt like.
3 years and you'll never be forgotten, we've all changed, everyone in your life at that point are not who they used to be but when we speak about our memories with you those people come rushing back and suddenly i feel like my old self.
If there is anyone who deserved a long and happy life its you. You made everyone else's life around you through laughter and love and in return lost your own. I hate the fact that you will never reach the age of 18 and i have, its unfair and i get angry when i realize all the happy things in life you will miss. In the short life you had you had a much better one than most, the life your mum, dad and Bob gave you was full of amazing opportunities so when i get angry i appreciate that your life was actually amazing.
If there was one thing i could say to you now it would be im sorry if seems like ive moved on and dont be fooled by the smile i wear because im still in pain and i still think of you everyday. I love you and i always will.

One thing I heard this summer reminds me of you, it's a prayer the kid's used to say every day at the summer camp I worked at...
When I die, give what's left of me away,
to children and old men waiting to die.
And if you need to cry,
cry for your brother walking the street beside you.
and when you need me put your arms around anyone
and give them what you need to give me.
I want to leave you something,
better than words or sounds.
look for me in the people I've known or loved.
and if you cannot give me away,
let me live in your eyes and not in your mind,
Love doesn't die people do,
so when all that's left of me is love,
give me away.
Still so hard to comprehend.
I love the fact that those of us who grew up together- like Laura still post on here.
As I said before, I still can't find the words... maybe one day I will.
Good night you blue nose =]
love always George.
Can't believe that it's 3 years tomorrow.
I still don't think it's hit me properly even after this long...
Still find it hard to know what to say... you're never forgotten.
Love always.
Its getting closer to that time again! Everyday I drive through windle I think of you and I'm 100% sure I'm not the only one! Ill be there to lay some flowers for you next month! Sleep tight x x x
Happy Birthday!
Happy 20th Birthday George. Its strange to think that today you would be 20 years of age!
Cant believe how time fly's! it only seems like yesterday when you was starting your driving lessons and excited about turning 18!

Hi George,
I’m sorry I’ve not been on here a while! I’ll start to come on more often and leave little messages like this. I suddenly started to cry and felt like i needed some comfort by looking at this website and a few old pictures of you. It’s made me worse though because now I’m not stopping! All those feelings from when we first lost you came rushing back and its getting a bit overwhelming. It’s good of me to cry though, feels weird thinking about how I never spend a day without floods of tears and now I can control my emotions. I like to cry though when I’m on my own and thinking of you because it lets all the built up emotion out.
I miss you so much, I think about you every day, wondering what you'd be doing now, and what you would be like. You'd still be the same happy, funny George everyone loves, that couldn’t have changed but i think you would be huge now with all those protein shakes you were drinking and nailing the gym every day!
I still expect to see you again, and I’m never going to give up hope that one day i will! I'll let you in on all the Goss that’s happened down here over the years - there’s lots to tell lol I’d love to see you again, even if its just one more time
i hate the winter, well when it rains - i like sitting at your grave and just listening for a while cause it feels like your around, it really peaceful.
Love you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
