My pregnancy with Chris was a much longed for but very tricky one. At 26 weeks i was rushed into hospital with a low placenta and Mum said her prayers to get us though. All was well in the end when, in October 1989, the birth of Christopher Patrick Dennis Higgins, my beautiful baby boy at 8lbs 12oz, made us proud parents for the fourth time.

You see, that turned out to be Chris's way - he'd choose the most mischievous path, the one laden with mishaps and pranks, but he'd reach the end every time with that smile on his face and ready for the next adventure.

He was a troublesome little devil at times, an artful dodger who pushed the boundaries and lived life to the full. And it was those eyes, that cheeky, infectious smile and that naughty laugh which made it all forgivable. We wouldn't have changed Chris for the world, then or now.

Anyone who knew Chris, even for just a short time, would be impressed for the amazing zest for life. As one of our five childrenhe carved out his own unique personality and he grew into a charming, good looking, sweet-talking and fun to be around young man.

But there was much more to Chris than the fearless "Jack the Lad" image that so many of us saw. He was kind, caring and compassionate, often beyond his years and he was honest about his actions. He looked after me and his grandad Paddy through some tough times. We'd giggle for five minutes before he helped me up off the floor if I'd fallen - he was thinking of me and he made light of the situation for my sake. People didn't think Chris took life too seriously but he looked out for his family and his friends.

The things i have heard said about my son since he passed away have almost made me burst with pride. The way one young man, my son, managed to touch so many lives in such a short space of time is unbelievable. It's that enormous sense of pride, taken from the hundreds of people praising my son, that has been the one comfort to me and our family.

The day of Chris's funeral, while being one of the hardest days of our lives was also one of the proudest. Seeing a church so full of people, whose lives Chris had touched in some way, was overwhelming. that praise is the greatest tribute I can ask for my son. We've found it's not just family and friends that saw him as a great listener and good company. He was remembered by people he had only met once. Chris was kind thoughtful and funny. His Dad and I light up when we hear people talk about him.

He had a sense of humour and a knack for storytelling that those who were privileged to know him personally will never forget. Chris had matured into a great person. A great son. A great brother. And a great friend. Whether it was watching the match, at rugby, DJ-ing or listening to one of his stories, every one of us, every member of his family and his friends has those moments with Chris that they will treasure.

Chris's family are, and always will be, immensely proud of everything Chris was - a very special young man, full of life, love, passion and fun. Chris had a sense of caring that not everyone saw, but those who did were blessed.

Our cheeky monkey, our ray of sunshine is so wonderful to think of but so hard to be without. We were blessed with 18 years of treasured memories with our five. We miss the stories, the laughs, but most of all just having Chris here, at his best and full of beans.

Through all the heartache we will treasure the time we had. He is missed more than words could ever express but the memories we have of Chris will keep us strong. Chris loved life and lived it to the fullest. We can take comfort in that if nothing else now. He is unspeakably and profoundly missed by those whose lives he touched. A son and a brother to remember with love and most all PRIDE.



All Our Love,

Mum, Dad, Billy jnr, Colette, Tom, Lucy

On the road that all must tread
You have traveled on ahead
Out into the morning light
Out of reach and out of sight
But never far away
For every night and every day
On the wings of memory
Something brings you back to me
Some simple and familiar thing
That sets my heart remembering.

THEY CAN’T SEE YOU CRYING

My Angel lives in Heaven,
What a wonderful, glorious place.
He lives a long way up there.
Past the clouds and into space.

Too far away for me to see,
So just look up at night.
I see his lovely shiny star,
It’s the one that is most bright.

I send him all my kisses,
And send him all my love,
I hope that he receives them
Up in heaven above.

So if you have an Angel
That lives up in the sky,
Make sure they see you happy,
And never ever cry.

Crying makes them feel bad,
And that they cannot be.
They can’t see you when you’re crying,
But your joy for them, they see.
