This page has been set up in memory of Adam Geoffrey Lloyd. Although born in Northampton it was not long before the family moved to Forestdale, Croydon where Adam’s early years were spent. It was here that he met many of the people who would remain friends for life. His love of singing in later life, no doubt arose from being a choir boy at Croydon Parish Church! After moving to Purley in Surrey, Adam joined his brothers (he was the youngest of 4 brothers) at St Andrews High School, in Croydon. He enjoyed rugby but found his preference was soccer and he became a supporter of Liverpool (although he never got to see a live game). Adam went on to study travel & tourism at East Surrey College in Redhill. Travel was always in his blood from an early age with him looking forward to the annual holiday abroad. If it involved a flight from Gatwick, a trip to MacDonald's (before they were on every street corner) was a highlight! After working in the City of London, Adam became disenchanted with the hours wasted with the daily commute and joined his parents at their guesthouse in Torquay. It was here that he met Vanessa Arscott and became very close to her. After a holiday in Turkey they went off on a three month back-packing trip to Thailand. Tragically at the age of 25, on the last night of their 3 month holiday, he was killed with Vanessa, near the Bridge on The River Kwai at Kanchanaburi. We will always remember that they were both full of life and seeking adventure. We hope that this page will enable family and friends to share and remember the fun times that they had together with him.
We have such fond memories of Adam when he came to tea with our Christopher, when they were about 5 years old. Lovely times. We didn't know him as a young man but he obviously was and still is loved by so many. We were so sorry when we heard the news back in 2004 and felt so much for you. With our very best wishes to you.

didn't know this page was here, I think I could have sent you a thousand messages by now. I know I talk to you all the time, but it is so nice to have somewhere to tell you things.
I miss you every single day. I remember how you used to make me laugh and dance with me and sing me songs. The way you would flick your jacket when dancing, I still do a flick whenever I go dancing just for you! You always cheered me up and so looked after me when we were out.
I am a Mummy now and I tell Izaac all about you. He sees your picture and sends you big dribbly kisses. He is a good boy and a great character, you would love him! He cheers on Liverpool too already, so he does you proud!!
It's still beyond me that you're not here, that one day you won't walk through the door singing Robbie songs at me, telling me I look gorgeous! We were robbed and I feel it every day - we all do.
Since that day in 2004 the whole world seems different, like it should all stop. But with you watching over us it continues... I hope you know we never forget and never truly move on.
Whenever I get sad I see your name, on number plates normally that say 'Adz' or 'Ado', I somehow know it's you looking after me like always, telling me to pick myself up. You always visit me in my dreams too and I love those cuddles, thank you.
I love you with all my heart, miss you every day and hope you are happy and safe and I will see you again. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
my friend!
I will always have the memories, the times at work we all used to mess around, sing, the maccy D's breakfasts, and the arguements of who was going to get them, so we could have a quick fag on the way, or who was gonna walk carlie to the bank.
The song that you and jaime used to sing, and the christmas songs we sang, the times we used to wind Emma up, or try and tape carlie's arms together, even the time when i threw the brochure at your head! (im sorry about that by the way!)
Your who's the daddy t shirt, you loved working with all us girls! Im so glad i knew you, and you will always hold a place in my heart and will never be forgotton, every time I hear the song Mr Bojangles I think of you, and venessa.
RIP, miss you friend.
Im sure i will see you again one day x x x
We Remember Them
At the rising of the sun and its going down,
we remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
we remember them.
At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring,
we remember them.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer,
we remember them.
At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn,
we remember them.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends,
we remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live;
for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength,
we remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart,
we remember them.
When we have joy we crave to share,
we remember them.
When we have decisions that are difficult to make,
we remember them.
When we have achievements that are based on theirs,
we remember them.
As long as we live, they, too, will live;
for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.
Love from Liz Stuart Maxwell's mum
God bless
Don't think of him as gone away...
his journey's just begun,
life holds so many facets...
this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched....
for nothing loved is evenly lost...
and he was loved so much.
You will be in our thoughts over the next weeks as I am only too aware of how difficult it must be for all of you. It is a date on a calandar not much different from any other day now that our sons have gone but it is a painful reminder of why they are no longer with us. Take comfort in your memories. How 3 years have passed by I will never know. 3 years and a great deal of pain. I am sure though you will have drawn courage from the many happy memories you have of Adam. We cannot go back therefore the biggest compliment I think we can pay to our loved sons is to go forward and to be as happy as we can in the life we have around us with our family and our treasured memories. Time does not make the loss of a much loved child any easier but it does help to cope with the pain.
Rest in peace Adam and continue to watch over your family.
I was so very sorry to come across your memorial and to read of your loss. My son Mark was murdered in Thailand just before Adam and Vanessa & I remember through the fog we were experiencing of being devestated that another family should suffer as we were. I do hope you have been able to find some peace and strength in the memories you have. I understand your pain. We find keeping our son very much in our family and talking about him constantly helps us.
Rest in peace Adam
When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.
If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.
If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.
If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.
If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.
So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.
memoires of dem both
There is a place in every heart,
They call it Memory Lane,
Where thoughts of loved ones lost
Forever will remain.
God made this special place
When He first created man,
For He knew it would be needed,
As part of our life's plan.
He knew when loved ones left us,
We'd need some time to heal,
To come to terms with sorrow
And the loneliness we'd feel.
So when you lose a loved one
And your life is filled with pain,
The comfort of their presence
Will be found in Memory Lane
