KEVIN RICHARD GODLEY

DIED; 22nd AUGUST 2006
AGE 44

Immediate family;
WIFE; SABENA
DAUGHTER; DANIELLE.
DAUGHTER; SHANA.
DAUGHTER; REECY.....

Kev was a really popular guy with tons of mates & a really large family.....we all miss him like crazy.

On Tuesday, August 22nd 2006 at about 8pm, I was at at my computer & Chris {DH} was in the garden fixing up one of our sons bikes when a phone call came through on Chris's mobile saying that Kev had died as a result of a motor bike crash while on his way home from work at around 5:15pm that evening,
Chris just screamed & came running in from the garden to me, where he just fell to his knees. I knew from his reaction to the phone call that someone had died, but I didn't know straight away who it was.....I couldn't make much sense of what he was saying & took the phone from his hand....Nikki, my sister-in-law was on the line & told me what had happened. We went straight round to Chris's mum's (Kev's sister) house.....that evening started the hardest year for all his family......

Kevin touched the lives of so many people in so many ways. It's so daft really, because when a person is here with us, we often don't realise what they actually meant to us.

Kevin was a strong Man with a strong personality & a strong sense of justice.
He loved life, he loved his family and he loved the thrill of freedom. He put others first. He loved to see everyone happy and did his best to make them that way. He loved to laugh and to make others laugh. Kev had a wicked sense of humour & a wicked laugh too. He was forever cracking a joke or teasing someone. It was hard to get mad at Kev & stay mad....

He always saw the funny side of life & had the knack of putting a smile on everyone's face....even when things would seem at there worst. He alway's had a story to tell....A story that no matter how serious it was supposed to be...he would somehow have us in stitches over. Kevin brought a lot of happiness to anyone he met & he would want to be remembered for those times...

One of the hardest things to come to terms with after someone goes so suddenly is the fact that it's then too late to tell them all the stuff you should have told them while they were still around.
I know for all those that loved Kev, given half the chance, just wanted to tell him what a great Guy he was & how much he was actually loved & respected.
The crazy thing is...........it's often not until the person's actually gone, that we realise exactly what they did mean to us.

You will be so missed Kevin & if one wish could be answered it would be to have you back here again. So we could see your lovely beaming smile, To feel your strongest bear hug ever, to see the cheekiest twinkle ever seen in someone’s eyes & to hear you say "don't worry, everything will turn out right"

Kev had some wonderful qualities...qualities that you only come across once in a lifetime.

Feel free to light a candle for Kevin, Write something you may wish to say to him, Leave a message to his family, whatever you like.
That's the reason we created this web site, For you.....To remember Kevin the way he would want to be remembered, so we could all share in keeping him alive in our memories as well as our hearts & somehow feel just a little bit closer to him.




THE WORLDS GREATEST;
I am a mountain
I am a tall tree
I am a swift wind
Sweepin' the country
I am a river
Down in the valley
I am a vision
And I can see clearly
If anybody asks u who I am
Just stand up tall look 'em in the Face and say

I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the worlds greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my backs against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the worlds greatest

I am a giant
I am an eagle
I am a lion
Down in the jungle
I am a marchin' band
I am the people
I am a helpin' hand
And I am a hero
If anybody asks u who I am
Just stand up tall look 'em in the Face and say

I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the worlds greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my backs against the ropes
I can feel it mmm
I'm the worlds greatest

In the ring of life I'll reign love
And the world will notice a king
When all is darkest, I'll shine a light
And use a success you'll find in me

I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the world's greatest

I saw the light
At the end of a tunnel
Believe in the pot of gold
At the end of the rainbow
And faith was right there
To pull me through
Used to be locked doors
Now I can just walk on through
