PEARCE – Riley Patrick

hey chop,
If only i could speak to you one more time and hear your laugh just once more and so i could just tell you how much you impacted my life, your presence in my life will forever be cherished. Your laugh your smile and your happiness you brought into everyone’s lives. That infectious smile of yours which is now gone will still live on in my heart. now that you are gone i feel as if i have a hole in my stomach, i hope you went peacefully riley i hate to think of the pain you suffered although you clearly had a lot more going on and i wish i could’ve saved you we all do but there is only so much one can do. Life is so cruel you truely were a blessing to so many people and i still can’t wrap my head around that your gone it just doesn’t seem real. I hope you are having a beer up there for us all and i hope you are at peace now and not hurting all i ever wanted for you was to stop hurting and be at piece and i saw how strong you were and hoped you would’ve got through it. Our memories and your smile will live in my heart forever riley pearce. P.s thanks for being nice to me one time and letting me have the privilege of being able to open your fortnite package of the week ;)))
Going to miss you lots chop forever going to be thinking about you. wish i could of taken away all your pain and seen you live on.

Such devastating and heartbreaking news for two beautiful families to have to cope with. Our hearts go out to all the Pearce and Walsh families and Riley’s friends! May there be a Moe footy team in heaven where Riley can take up his old position! Our love and thoughts will always be with you all xxx❤️🌹

oh chop, all i can say is i’ll miss you.
i’ll miss you being there every morning at the bus stop saying “morning george” & “morning coop” those words i can vividly hear right now, i’ll miss you driving or walking past with vishka followed by a chirpy hello or wave, i’ll miss us never knowing which parents turn it was to pick us up & i’ll miss the “georgiaaaa, what the f*ck are you doing here” followed by the warmest hug whenever we ended up at the same parties.
i’m very lucky to have had you as a neighbour and to have known you for so many years. i’ll never forget the day you pearce boys all broke my trampoline or when young choppy tried to knock me out with an exercise ball, you’ve certainly never failed to have a laugh that’s for sure.
thank you for always being a light in so many peoples lives. you made a positive impact on us all and i know for a fact you’ve never failed to put a smile on my face, even if it was 8am in the morning.
choppy you deserve the world,
i love you, fly high 👼🏼💞

dearest chop,

i’m so sorry. what a beautiful soul you are.

i don’t even know how to start writing to you. i hope you feel finally at peace. you never deserved the pain you went though and while we weren’t the best of friends, i remember you used to call me ‘lyss lyss.’ i remember you drove ell and i to get fish and chips for lunch one day and i remember the few parties we were at together. the most special moment where sam, you and myself had to crash at chels’s for the night. we topped to toed it in her lounge room on the couch while i awoke the next morning to see you already awake playing with the dogs. knowing how much you loved vish, this memory will be stuck with me for a long time. i wish you peace chop.

my thoughts are with all of the pearce family, and to chop’s boys and other friends i can’t imagine how tough this is for you all.

rest easy mate 🤍🕊

Our deepest condolences to Andrew, Kerry and the boys, as well as the Walsh family. We’ll always remember Choppy tearing up the footy field on game days🌹🏉
Thinking of you during this difficult time ❤️

chop,

i love you so much, you helped me more than i am ever going to be able to show or even tell you. i cant write a whole massive thing because i am just so lost for words. i hope that i make you proud i won’t let your helping me go to waste. you are forever in my heart and soul.

To Kerry, Andrew, Matthew & Liam,

We have watched each other’s kids grow, play, laugh, cry, get injured or sick, drive, start jobs, relationship and grow some more.
Our hearts are broken to now watch you go through the loss of one of your special souls.
We loved Choppy with all our hearts and will be here for your family always.

Love
Scott, Jo, Harry & Georgia Daly

rest in peace to the most gorgeous human who ever walked on this earth. choppy you may not have known it but you had everyone’s best interest at heart. i do not know a single person to say a bad thing about you ever. your smile lit up a whole room and made sure everyone was okay before yourself. i’m so sorry i couldn’t do more to help you with the demons inside your head. i’m sorry you thought there was no way out. you always made sure i felt beautiful by constantly reminding me. i ranted to you one night and you sent me the most heartfelt message that i copied and pasted into my notes to look back to whenever i felt like i wasn’t enough you told me i was so rare and you knew i’d just “get” it you if you opened up to me. no words could describe the person you were. knowing you were always going to be there was all i needed. i looked up to you so much and i’m completely heartbroken to say the least. this world will never be the same without you. i miss you so much it hurts. i hope you know how much of an impact you made on everyone’s lives that had the pleasure of knowing you and it was an absolute honour to have you in my life and call u one of my closest friends. we had a bond like no other and i promise everything i do is for you. i know i will make you proud. i’ll love you forever

The brightest, funniest bloke I will ever meet, you are the only person I knew that could make a room full of people smile by just being there. You will be loved and missed by everyone. Sink a few beers up there for us brother. Love you forever.

To my dearest choppy I love and adore you more then you’d ever know my heart breaks at the thought of no more us making memories no more snorkels, talking about our relationships and bad decisions, no more being here. You are an angel a blessing and the big brother I never had all in one. You protected me through everything told me my worth, You made me realise that I deserve better and reminded me everytime I didn’t listen… no matter how many times you had to tell me you made sure to say it knowing I’d do the opposite but you loved and supported me anyway. To the wisest person I know who always knew what to say even when there was nothing to be said this is unfair. It’s unfair this was to happen to you the battle you went through broke my heart ans I’m sorry that I didn’t do more for you. Starting in year 7 and being my homeroom bestie till year 9 No matter how long went by every little argument you still held my hand through every Heart break and problem I faced and made it seem better I just wish I could of fixed yours. I’m so blessed to of shared such a friendship with you and will forever cherish the memories made with you forever and always. To think you were only in lakes with us a few weeks ago with your poor burnt feet making everyone piss themselves laughing around the fire breaks me you left an impression on those who only just met you so I can only think about how much of an impression and impact you had on those who have known you forever. I’m so proud of you choppy you changed my life for the better and I’ll thankyou everyday for that i love you I love you I love you so much my darling and I hope that your at peace. I promsie to be kinder, fix my friendships, put myself first, and make sure I’m treated like a “princess” just like you told me too. I promsie I’ll update you every step of the way as I overcome each achievement in life and promsie to do you proud every single day. I love you more then you’ll ever know Riley.
Lots of love marlz 💖💖

Choppy, I heard a lot about you before I finally met you – Carly saying ‘Mum you’ve gotta meet Choppy, he’s the nicest, funniest kid, you’ll love him’. Well you lived up to the hype – one of the best young lads I’ve had the pleasure of knowing, albeit, sadly, for a short time.

I remember when I picked you and the girls up from a party – a lot of hysterical laughing from the back seat – me the oblivious parent thinking someone might have dropped one. But No, you’d stuck your head out of the window and your hat blew off. You didn’t want to bother me to go back for it, it was ‘late, dark and we’ll never find it, Kath’
But back we went and Carly spotted it, white cap on the white line. A happy chappy (or choppy)

Now you’ve gone to somewhere you felt you needed to be, We will never understand your choice, it’s so complex. We are gutted for your family, we are gutted for your many friends who loved you so much.

Whenever I see a shooting star or even another comet, I’ll think of you mate, because it will remind me of your life – sadly all too short, but bright, impactful and always awesome.

Everlasting Peace to you young man, you’ll be missed so much but you’ve given us much to remember.

Our heartfelt condolences to Riley’s family.

Kath, Rod and Carly Lavin.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to know Riley to the greatest of extents, but regardless, Riley remained a engaging , charismatic, endearing individual, whom always had an inviting aura wherever he was. From opposing sides of the classroom he still had the ability to draw you in to what he had to say. One memory I will grasp onto occurred in year 8, where we were in art class, and the teacher left the building for a moment, promoting me and Riley to exchange choke holds for the fun of it, until he accidentally choked me unconscious. But he helped me up and made sure I was okay, on top of apologising thousands of times, exhibiting his transition from rough and rowdy, into his compassionate, gracious side. Although I wasn’t Riley’s best mate, it would be un-just not to make mention of his remarkable personality. We love you Riley, may Gods grace enlighten you and your family.

My sincere and heartfelt sympathy to Kerry, Andrew, Matthew and Liam and the extended Walsh families on the sad and sudden loss of Riley.

dear riley,

this has taken me so long to do, after to many attempts and the deletion of social media i’ve finally brought myself to write this letter to you.

never in my life would i have thought i’d be writing this for you, you were the one person in my life i wanted by my side until the very end. as i still haven’t come to terms with the fact that your gone, i believe your still at home playing with vishka and sending me videos whilst i do the same with our precious boozle. words can’t describe you, and even if i could describe you it would go like this. you are the most beautiful person, caring, kind and just overall incredible. you never failed to make me smile even in my worst situations, you made every room brighter just by taking one step into it. you filled every hole in my heart and now i don’t know what i could possibly do without you. although you were blind as a bat, you always managed to see if i wasn’t okay and you would never leave my side until you knew i was better and for that, i’m so grateful of you. i wish i could’ve done more for you my chop, i wish i could’ve given you more reasons to stay alive and not let go. but unfortunately this lifetime wasn’t for you and we all understand that as you were battling a war inside your head. we all did everything we possibly could, this time it just wasn’t enough and it’s okay. we are all so proud of how far you come. you left a mark on this world, you made history and for that we love you with every single part of our hearts. we will never let your spirit die, you may not be on earth but you’ll always be in my heart forever. please take care of me from up above as you know you still hold my heart in your hands until we meet again. you are my bestfriend, my lover, my soulmate. you were the person i saw myself marrying when we got old & grey, you were the man i always wanted. you knew i had my heart set on you since the day we met, and i hope one day we are able to share more memories and love than what we already have. i’m so grateful of the love we shared when you were alive, you are the one person that made such a deep impact on my life. our boozle and vish will remember you forever. until we meet again my honey

To the Pearce Family, I never had the pleasure of meeting you in person, however, I had the pleasure of meeting Riley. What an amazing young man. His smile and infectious laugh made the difference to the day. The world has lost a kind and inspirational young person. My sincerest condolences, Ian Francis.

To dear Kerry, Andrew, Matt and Liam,
I just heard the tragic news of your loss of Riley. It’s so hard to believe and I have no words other than I’m just so sorry for this tragic loss. I still can’t believe it. Some things are so hard to make sense of. I have made a donation to Black Dog institute. Such a fabulous bright boy, such a wonderful family. May you draw strength from the love of your family, friends and faith. Sincerely, Rose Howell.
