Lee McCarthy
11/12/1982-12/12/2002
20 years old

Lee lived with his dad Billy, stepmam Yvonne and her 2 children Terry and Jen.
It was the day after his 20th birthday that Lee passed away after suffering from cancer for a year and 4 months. He had undergone surgery and chemotherapy but unfortunately, this wasn't enough to help him.
Lee was loved by everyone who knew him, and is missed by many.
What people remember most about Lee is how kind and happy he was all the time even when he was ill.
Lee had a love of 2 things and they were music and acting. He was always singing away 2 himself or playing on his saxaphone. He would have made a brilliant career out of acting as it came so natural to him. He was always given lead roles in whatever production he was part of whether it was at the local drama group or the school productions. He was great at it and had a really good singing voice.
Lee had many friends and was never anywhere with at least one of them by his side.
Lee is missed everyday by all the family and also by all his friends that he picked up throughout his life.
There is now a huge hole in our life where he once was but he will always be in our thoughts and in our hearts.

Where do I start? As Catherine's already mentioned, you were like a brother to us! You always brought a smile to our faces! And as Mel has already mentioned, we always think about you and hope you're ok up there!
Even when you were with us, you truly were, and still are, an angel! So keep playing that music - practice for when we meet again because we'll all want to hear it again!
So, no goodbye's, but see you soon's eh? Keep looking over your family and friends, Lee!
Lots of love, Erin x
