Would this be the same Liam Crowhurst that went to Malling primary. If it is he would be 46/47 years?

Tis indeed mate. I'm 41 and went to both primary (Malling) and secondary (Ringmer) with Louise so he must be around that age. What an absolute shock.....he died in the next street from me too.

Liam used to take me to my martial arts classes with his best mate and god did we have some laughs. My favourite memory of him will be him skipping and singing, who will buy this wonderful morning from the film Oliver, through brighton lanes, i used to be doubled up with laughter. Im really going to miss you Liam, and will never forget you.

Im aged 15 and have known Liam since i was 11, but in the last 2 months have spent alot of time with him as he was a good friend of my mums. I looked at him like an uncle he always made me laugh and he gave me good advice when i needed it. In the last 2 weeks i saw the pain he was going through and it hurt me to see him suffer, so spent lots of time with him to try and cheer him up. I never understood what he was going through as he always kept it from me, i suppose he was trying to protect me. Im going to miss seeing him and having our chats. I wish he could come back.
Love you always Liam. One thing i have done for you Liam is given up smoking as i know you were always on my case xx

I heard about Liam this morning and am truly shocked and saddened. Some of my earliest memories are playing in their garden with Louise and when I was a teenager we all used to be out and about together and I remember him riding around on his Lambretta. I have seen him occasionally over the last few years and he has always stopped to say hello and was always cheerful. He will be sadly missed. My heart goes out to Louise and her mum and dad. God bless, Liam.

I attended the funeral of my dear friend Liam today, and i would like to say what a send of his family gave him, i bet he was watching over with a big smile on his face. All his mod friends turned up and were talking about their early days and the sort of things they got upto, i Found it very comforting and hope his family did to. His 2 little angels "Brishan and Marnie" were there to, and what brave little girls they were, their daddy would be proud of them.
Aunt Amy, Uncle John, Anita, Gordon, Lou, Rachel, Brishan and Marnie if you need me for anything please dont hesitate to phone me. Love to you all Michelle x

Today was Liam's funeral which I attended with my wife and all of our friends to bid him a fond farewell. I knew Liam for over 27 years and was one of the Mods that used to ride around Lewes on our scooters. Liam was an inspiration, leader and a true friend to many. I have too many fond memories of Liam to forget him. I feel privileged to have known him and will miss him greatly. He will be a sad loss to too many people and my heart goes out to all of his family especially his wonderful children. It is truly heart warming to read the messages of support posted on this site. Thank you all. See you again some time Liam. Your mate, Steve.

Another example of the anguish felt when a fathers children are taken from him. Fathers do feel pain even if the law denies them their rights. Your death was not in vain pal as my wife has just phoned me and said I could have my children for the day. Lets hope it catches on. Goodbye my friend.

I just heard about Liam today as I have in Australia. Such sad, sad news. Although we had little contact for the past years, Liam was my best mate at Primary and Secondary school. Many awesome memories come flooding back - too many to mention. I remember him as my first true friend, one who would always stand up for me and look out for me. He would also never be left out regardless of how tough some of the things we did were - a favourite memory was Liam getting his first motorbike - a red postie bike at about 12 years old, we used to ride down Malling farm. To make it easier to ride, we switched the throttle to the left hand, and off he went learning to ride. He came off numerous times- but he always came up smiling and jumped back on for another go. Thanks for those fantastic childhood memories mate - heaven must have a place for you.

I met Liam when he lived in Brisbane, Australia. A gentle soul, always quick to laugh and joke. He was one of the finest people I have ever known. I lost touch with him when I moved house at the same time he did some years back. I occasionally Google his name in the hopes of finding him and getting in contact again. Sadly today when I Googled I found this page. My most heart-felt sympathy goes out to his loved ones at this sad time. I would greatly appreciate contact from anyone to help me try to understand this tragedy. datsmee at gmail dot com. Thank You.
I wish I'd have been able to track you down . Goodbye my friend Liam.

To the Fathers for justice and other comments. If you truely were pals of Liam then you would have more respect for his family and friends than to use this site as a tool to cause more hurt and pain to people connected with his life. It is very easy to blame others when you are unaware of a situation. Maybe no-one will ever know why Liam did this but to speculate is very cruel to all concerned. I am sure that the two mothers of his children will bring them up to know what a wonderful father he was. Anyone with a 'Axe to Grind' should find another site to do it on after all this site I am sure was a memorial to him and not meant for making bigoted statements.

Brishan, you played with my daughter Katie who was round next doors house (Kate with lauren) last summer holiday and Katie said she really enjoyed her time with you.
Next time you are down to visit your family, you're more than welcome to come and play again.....your auntie Rachel will have our number so please feel free to give Katie a ring...maybe you can meet up down Malling Rec with Marnie.
You're both very brave girls...you have a lovely family around you too. I never really knew your dad but have known your auntie Louise and nan and grandad for many years. Be strong for them and they will be very strong for you too.
As time goes on, the hurt that you are feeling will get a little less every day but the memories and the good times will always stay with you.
Why don't you start a new thread asking people to post their happy memories of your dad....there's lots of people who would like to do that.
So don't forget, you're always welcome to meet Katie if you come down in the holidays.
Best wishes
Andy, Sharon and Katie x x x

Hi Brishan and Marnie, i hope your both well and looking after each other. I remember when you both came down and we used to meet up for coffee with Jane, i used to bring Charleigh along and you both played together for ages. Your daddy always made me smile, especially when he laughed as he had the highest pitch of laughing that i have ever known, i used to laugh so much with him that i would have an asthma attack, it was worth it (smile).I used to tiggle your daddy when there was a few of us out having a laugh, he was so tigglish as you know. I see your nan and grandpa sometimes when im in the town and your aunties and they are all well which im sure you will be pleased to hear I hope when your next down that you ask grandpa to give me a ring and then we can go to the park with charleigh and have some fun, I also have a little dog called elle she is 7 months old and you will love her as she loves playing with children. Nathan sends you both a big kiss and says to look after each other and mummy. Hope to see you soon. Big hugs and kisses are sent with the message x x x x say hello to mummy for me x
