John Ross Martin
1960 - 2008
Aged 48
Died suddenly but peacefully on the 13-05-08
Johnny was much loved by all his family firstly his mum Margaret and step dad Robert. His sister Shirley and all his brothers David, Robert, Stevie & Alec. His daughters Emma & Lisa. All his nieces and nephews to many to mention. And most of all the little grandson whom he doted on Cameron James Coney. Johnny will be peacefully in heaven with his partner Kath whom he loved so much.
Johnny was my uncle whom I have looked up to all my life and I will miss him so so much. When i was 16 I moved down to Richmond in North Yorkshire to be with him he was like a big brother, uncle & second dad all rolled into one. But eventually after a few years I moved back up to Dumfries. Johnny lived with Kathy and her daughter Lisa & Emma and brought them up like his own two kids. But a few years ago Kathy died and Johnny eventually moved back to Dumfries with Emma and his little grandson Cameron. So naturally I was chuffed to bits to see him back home in Dumfries my uncle as he always was, full of life, and the uncle whom I looked up to for all those years and I still do. One of my fondest memories of Johnny and I is in 1985 I was only 12 and Johnny was 25 and we always sat up late at night watching the coverage of the Snooker World Championship and he didnt want Steve Davis to win and I did and when we were watching it he would tell me what the next shot was going to be before it happened and he never got it wrong and I thought he was so cool. Im missing you so so much Johnny and I love you very very very much. XXX

THE MOON AND THE STARS ARE SHINING SO BRIGHT
LOOKING DOWN ON THIS EARTH TONIGHT
THE BEAUTY IS CLEAR FOR ALL TO SEE
EVERY WHERE IN THE WORLD FOR ALL ETERNITY
♥ * . ♥ * .
THE GOLDEN GLOW WHEN IT IS TIME TO SAY GOODNIGHT
OUR ANGELS ALWAYS LEAVE US SUCH A WONDERFUL SIGHT
TO SOME THIS WOULD BE JUST THE STARS AND THE MOON
BUT MAYBE IT IS OUR ANGELS THAT HAVE GONETOOSOON.........

Let the gentle wind carry this message
and whisper in your ear
How much we love and miss you
Every day that you're not here
GOD CALLED YOUR NAME SO GENTLY
THAT ONLY YOU COULD HEAR
NO ONE HEARD THE FOOTSTEPS
OF A ANGEL DRAWING NEAR
SOFTLY FROM THE SHADOWS
THERE CAME A GENTLE CALL
YOU CLOSED YOUR EYES AND WENT TO SLEEP
AND QUITLY LEFT US ALL
ALWAYS THINKING OF YOU
............ƸӜƷ........ƸӜƷ.......
..ƸӜƷ..........ƸӜƷ..........ƸӜƷ
ƸӜƷ......GOODNIGHT.......ƸӜƷ

My Uncle Johnny
My uncle Johnny was a very special man and that is why he had to leave so soon, as they knew that the only guy that could look after and care for people up in heaven was him. And when its time for us to go he will be there waiting for us all with open arms. Love and miss you always and forever. Your loving nephew J xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
my wee bro
Not,how did JOHNNY die, but how did he live ?
Not,what did he gain,but what did he give?
These are the units with which we measure love,
of man regardless of his birth .
He was my brother, my friend.
i miss him more than any words can say,
he was born this day april first 1960 ,
but regardless it being april folls day,
johnny was no ones fool .
He loved with a capacity, all that he knew
and is missed and loved by all.
happy birthday
happy birthday granddad love n hugs from ur two boys cameron james and lucas john xxxxx
The beauty of a memory,
is that it’s always there.
Like a penny in your pocket,
you can take it anywhere.
And when your heart is heavy,
and your eyes are filled with tears,
you can focus on a memory,
and travel through the years.
Your heart can visit happy times,
when laughter filled the air,
and the presence of your loved one,
will lessen your despair.
So as you travel on in life,
take comfort as you go,
in a lifetime of “sweet memories,”
of one who loved you so
xxxxxxxx
From my memories,
You will never be erased.
You have been a source of strength,
For all those years and even now.
Although, in your presence,
Life would have followed a different path.
Each day would be full of life,
With lots of love and new beginnings.
You are the greatest gift from God,
Just feel blessed to be your daughter.
I thank God for giving me a father like you,
I will miss you & feel your presence always. xxxxxxx
