Story
Tragically Rik Newton lost his life this weekend. Leaving a partner, a family and 3 young boys in this world.
Please help to raise money to keep this family strong, help pay for the funeral costs and give those three boys the best life they can without their dad.
Message from Carly, Riks sister.
I don't want to be writing this. I can't believe Im writing this. I'm broken. Rik Newton. My baby brother. My first best friend and the person I would call when I needed someone. I was always the first one you called. As children we were so close, we were often mistaken for twins. We were always there for each other, thick and thin no matter what time of day. You were misunderstood by so many but loved by so many more. Through our lives it had always been us against the world and my god had the world thrown us a bad hand. Yes we had our arguments, but we never left on a bad word. Things looked up, you met Hannah and with her had 3 beautiful boys. My nephews who you lived for, who I love so dearly. Those poor boys xx then our lives changed forever. We lost our beautiful Mum. So suddenly. And that was it. When Mum died I lost a part of you too. You were never the same. It destroyed us all but you were her baby. And too young to lose your Mum. Recently all i saw in your eyes was pain it killed me and I would have given my arms if it meant you didn't hurt anymore. I take peace knowing you are with her now. Although I'm sure she is kicking your ass for being such an idiot right now. And i know you will be hurting seeing us all so upset. I love you so much. I will forever remember you as the cheeky piss taking smiling shitbag I love so much. I miss you so much ♡
