This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Karl Pottinger, 43 years old, born on May 5, 1973, and passed away on May 8, 2016. We will remember him forever.
My only Son and so loved. Another birthday, another year, but it would have been such a special birthday. Today you would have been 50 yrs old. Life can be very cruel. I love you and miss you every single day. ❤❤❤
5 years today Karl, since that terrible news. Wish we could turn back time. What I wouldn't give to have you back. You are tucked close in my heart, and always will be. RIP my precious Son.
5 years seems such a long time but it has gone so fast. I miss you as much today as I did when you left us. I hope that you are at peace, baby brother. I love you ❤️
Well Karl, I managed to get through today without too many tears. You would have been proud of your mum. We all had a drink for you, and hope you had plenty of grey goose up there. Love you and still miss you so much Xxxxxxxcxcx
Happy birthday Karl (chinky) even though you left Hyde for a better life I still will always remember the things we got up to back when we first became friends when we used to play football on Hyde United.such along time ago.save me a seat up there chinky we got plenty to catch up on.love you mate. RIP my bruva
I always know when it’s coming up to your birthday. The white cabbage butterfly roams around my garden starting at least the week before. In fact, I see one everywhere I go and now that reminds me of you. You are free to roam wherever you want to now. Hoping that you are free from everything now and at peace. Love you xx. Happy Birthday Karl
Another Christmas without you Karl, and it doesn't get any easier. I so wish that we could turn back time, and have you here with us. Sleep peacefully my Son. Mum xx
Thinking of you so much Karl. I miss you every day. Dave sends his love and hopes you have plenty of Grey goose, for the big day. We love you always and forever.
Karl. Your 45th birthday has just passed and we are remembering your second year of passing tomorrow. Mandy and I vowed to be together every year on that day to remember our baby bro. Tomorrow we will go to the ‘Artful Dodger’, a favourite place of yours when visiting Canada, and have a burger and beer in your memory
Hi my lovely Son, up there in heaven. This year has been harder than last, but I always feel that you are with me. Yesterday , I was struggling on your birthday, and Tuesday will be harder still. We are going down to the beach to have a drink for you, and being able to look across the sea, helps me to feel nearer to you. Always in my heart. Mum xxxxx
Happy Birthday Karl, thinking about you today. The sun is shining, I hope your having a few cold ones wherever you are... I’ll have a drink for you later
Well I did it. I got through the day yesterday, Karl. Mandy, Shannon and I released a balloon each with a poem to send you on your way with our love. My balloon broke away from the crowd and headed towards the mountains - North bound. That's a sign that you were heading to the lake - where you should have been, your dream of a better future. So, although you are no longer here, I'm convinced your spirit is destined to be forever in Canada. You'll always be with me. xxx
This has been such a terrible day Karl. The 1st anniversary of your death, which should never have happened. You were much too young. For a parent to bury a child, is the worse thing that can ever happen. I love you so much, and i will never get over your death. Till we meet again ......xxxxxxx
Yesterday was a bad day, thinking you should be here on your birthday. Dave and i, miss you so much Karl, and it still does,nt seem real. Anyway hope you have a drink with your grandad, and nana. Give them a big hug from me. Love you forever and ever. xxxxx
Today would have been your 44th birthday. I still can't believe you're not here. Your life was way too short - you had so many things left to do and so many dreams you needed to fulfill. I wish we could have had more time together, Karl. Being in different countries in recent years made that a little tough and if I'd known then what I know now we would have made more of an effort to spend time together. I love you and you will always be in my heart. Keep watching over us - I know you are around, I can feel your presence and that brings me comfort. xxx
My precious boy. I can't get you out of my mind today. My heart can't heal without you. I miss you so very much. IT would have been your 3rd wedding anniversary on the 20th October. So unfair when you were so happy.. God bless you Karl. Mum xxxxx
Feeling so sad today Karl. The 8th of every month will always be hard. My heart is still so empty. Hope you are with family & friends up there. Wish you were still here though. I miss you so very much xxx
I have great memories of Karl from our younger days. Fun nights out & visits to Lancaster when you moved away from Hyde. One thing we had in common was drinking alcohol
What a nice idea and a wonderful way to bring those who loved Karl, together. We will all remember him in our way as we all had a special relationship with him, but one thing we all have in common is how shocked and saddened we were by the shocking news of his passing. No one can ever be prepared for that and I know personally that I will never get over my baby Brother being taken from us too soon. May you rest in peace, Karl Know that you are always loved and very sadly missed xxx
