Mark Antony Trevey
Died 18th May 2007, aged 42 years.
Mark was a self employed window cleaner, he was born on 26th July 1964, he lived in Spalding,
Lincolnshire, all his life. Mark was my partner for seven years we have three boys, Joseph who is
now 22, Nathan who will be 21 in ten days time and Connor who is now 13, Mark has two sisters Mandy
and Jackie and one brother Jason, his Mum and Dad also live in Spalding. Mark died very suddenly on
18th May 2007, totally unexpected. The greatest shock of our lives.

I met Mark through friends at a local pub, we actually got together on New Years Eve 2000, we spent
the whole night laughing, chatting and having fun. He walked me home and the rest as they say is
history,

i was a very quiet person, when Mark first met me, he bought me out of myself, he taught me a lot of
things, how to have a good time, to let things wash over you, not to get too bogged down . , he
gave me confidence. Mark was always up for a laugh, he never got caught up with every day
pressures, he was very laid back, almost horizontal. Mark had tons of friends, we couldn't fo
anywhere without getting stopped to have chats, at his funeral over three hundred people attended,
they came from all over, Mark was a very big well known character in our town.

Mark loved children, every member of my family have children, they were all drawn to him, he was
like a magnet, he was happy to just sit with them and talk, on his window cleaning rounds, when the
children were at home he would let them wash the windows at the bottom of the house, they thought it
was great fun, he would send them off on some task, so that he could do the job properly. Some of
them would make him cakes and cookies especially in time for when he would arrive to clean the
windows, some would give him drawings, they all used to look forward to him coming round. I have a
lovely photo of Mark and our nephew Liam, we had spent the day in the garden having fun and a
barbecue in the evening, Liam had got very tired, the photo is of them both sitting on the settee,
Liam has fallen asleep laying on Mark's chest. This sums Mark up really, he was absolutely
brilliant wth children, he loved the boys, they were always play fighting and calling each other
names, all trying to out do each other, the house was usually filled with laughter. Birthdays and
Christmas were always very special, we always had special meals on our birthdays, Nathans birthday
is two days before Mark's and we usually spent the whole week partying. At christmas the house was
over run with lights, decorations and presents, Connor and Mark always went to get a tree on the
15th December, one year it was so big it wouldn't fit in the room, Mark had to cut the top off, I
would then get in from work, have tea and then start decorating the tree in the living room, it
would take hours, Mark always put the lights on and the boys and I would put on all the
decorations. We had a tree in the living room, the dining room and Connors room, Joseph and Nathan
just put lights up in their bedroom. Then there were all the outside lights, usually Mark and Nathan
would put them all up, over a period of days.

Mark was such a big figure in all our lives, he meant the world to us, our lives are totally
changed, I cannot believe I will never see him again, or hear him say "mornin chick, want a coffee",
he always called me chick, he would walk in the door and say "alright chick". I'll miss Mark for
the rest of my life, I can't put into words what he meant to me or how much I miss him, there is
such a void in my life, I truly hope Mark knew how much I love him and how much he meant to all of
us, we spend hours talking about him, there isn't a single day when the boys don't mention him,
usually we laugh at our memories, but we also cry, it's very hard to have to sit and listen to your
children cry for someone who isn't there any more.

Mark and Joe were the brainy ones of the family, always interested in natural history, shouting out
answers to the quizzes on tv, Nathan and Mark were always the handy people to have around, they did
the patio, decking and turfed the garden, and Connor was Mark's shadow, wherever Mark was, Connor
wasn't far behind, they were all much more than Father and Son they were good friends as well.

A year on from that awful day and I still can't believe this has happened, I still think it's a
nightmare from which I will wake, but when I sit at his grave and look at our memorials I know it's
not a terrible dream but an awful reality.

My darling Mark I will miss you forever, I'll never forget you, there isn't a day when we don't
think about you or talk about you. You will be in our hearts always
