Martin Hawker
Martin died on Monday 27th February 2006 aged just 18 yrs. He lived at home in Freshwater, Isle of Wight. Son to Wendy and Michael, Step son Of John, And brother to Ryan and Kai.Martin also left behind Katie, Ben and Lara, Auntie Megan & Uncle Russ, Auntie Amanda & Uncle Brian, Joshua and Holly, Grandad & Nanny Jane, Nanny Broomstick, Pete, Sarah and Daniel.His friendship is missed by many.
Martin was killed in A road Traffic Incident, He was the driver but no other vehicle was involved. He Had only been driving six weeks, Inexperience and inappropriate speed all part of his untimely death. Through all the despair and devastation there is a positive. In Martins memory I campaign with Road Safety, Fire and Rescue, Police, and NHS, for safer driving on our roads. Martin was a kind person, a huge heart, Stubborn and headstrong at times and believed strongly in fairness. I know that he would be very proud to see that I am doing something so positive. He came into the world unexpectedly early, 13 weeks early in fact weighing just 1lb 11 1/2oz, fighting for survival and covered in tubes, Sadly that was the way he left, fighting and awash with tubes. I miss him so badly, he was noisy and loud, music was his passion, but now I have a quiet house.If only I could turn back the clock.
In a couple of hours it will be your 24th birthday and I remember it like yesterday. Never a day goes by that I don't think of you Son. In the morning I will lay flowers for you and then off to Road Safety educating youngsters about making choices as young drivers, how ironic! I will listen to your brother making that 999 call and remember his face as he walked down the path, after seeing you stuck in the car. I remember..., I remember... I remember the day as clear as light.
How lucky I was to be with you when you left, some people never get that chance. I know you heard me when I told you I loved you, but you knew that anyway. Yes we fought and argued, but we were so alike, both of us wanting the last word, but boy,
you had the biggest kindest heart and that was a special quality.Your leaving us has had an inpact on the rest of the family and we are more tolerant and understanding, we talk more and nothing is a crisis, nothing is as bad as loosing a son and a brother and we put it in prospective. Material things have no importance in our lives any more.
I love you as much today as the day you were born Martin.
Love you, Mum,xxx
There was never a time when I did not exist, nor you. Nor will there be any future when we cease to be

Martin,
Can't believe it has been 5 years since you walked out the door. Miss you so much. Think and talk about you every day, with 'mini Martin' as a constant reminder of the wonderful character you were! Until we meet again, R.I.P Auntie Megan, Uncle Russell, Josh and Holly x
Another Christmas, another year,
When yet again you are not here,
I miss you Son, every single day,
I Miss you more than words can say,
Theres many days when silent tears fall,
Remembering your face when you were small
I see you too in your eighteenth gear
Not knowing then that your time was near,
How lucky was I to be there, when your life came to a close,
To hold your hand and stroke your hair
And kiss your little nose
I sent you off with your best clothes on,
Your cd player with the favourite songs,
Your baccy, your trainers, and your first toy car,
A beer can, a photo, and love from my heart
Your sudden death was too much to bear
But only you knew how much I really cared
We were alike, stubborn and defiant
Your downfall son, to be non compliant,
If only we could see what our future would be
HIndsight is something I don'want too see.
On your 23rd birthday Martin, No presents to buy, just flowers to lay and tears to cry. Your tree is growing how you should have been growing, It was still dark this morning when I came to see you and kiss your handsome face, but when I left the sun was coming up and a new day beginning, Another day to get through, another month, another year. I miss you son, but you will never know how much. Still heartbroken. With much love forever and ever. Mum.xxx
