SCAFFOLDER has died after falling from escalator at west yorkshire indoor ski complex.
thomas garnham, 21, had been drinking with pals when it is believed he mounted banisters on the
20-foot escalator at Xscape and fell.

Dad kevin, 48 said: "He was an outgoing guy, prankster. He was hard working and loved his job as a
scaffolder. He had a lot of respect for heights because of his job- but that's whats alcohol does
for you "his mates did not even see what happened.

"They came out of one pub at top of Xscape. It looks like he's tried to slide down the banisters of
the escalator. They think he just lost his balance and he has fallen down on to the concrete."

We never knew that morning,
What hurt that day would bring,
A special heart stopped beating,
We couldn't do a thing,
But when we see your picture,
You seem to smile and say,
Don't cry i'm only sleeping,
I'm with you everyday,
To think we didn't say goodbye,
Will always bring regret,
But hearts that always loved you,
Are the hearts that won't forget.

funeral speach we wrote for thomas

we were once scared of the unknow and by that i mean in both life and death. always worried what was going to happen in the future but now we are not scared, because your now our guardian angel and we know you wont let anything bad happen to us. we are not scared of death anymore because we know you will be waiting and welcoming us, that can never be a bad thing. we are comforted by knowing you will be with grandad granham bet hes spoiling you. he will look after you, give him a hug and kiss from us.

we know we never said it and certainly didnt show it but we always love you so much, its better late than never to tell you.we feel empty and we are absolutely devasted will go as far to say we are heartbroken. you were more like are big brother than are little brother cos you always looked after us. we are proud of the man you became and everything you achieved in such a short time. we will always remember all the laughter and tears we shared together. our family wil never be complete again without you.

we will miss your big cheesy grin life wont be the same without you. do us a big favour and watch over lee in his troublesome years. lee loves you so much even though he cant say it, you will always be his uncle tom. we know you'll step up and look after lee we can always rely on you.

you will hear this now and wonder why we havent said goodbye. well the reason for this is first we cant and the second we dont need to because you are never going to leaves us, you will always live on in our hearts. we wont be a stranger and promise you now we will both visit you often and let you know whats going on.

we would like to thank everyone for coming today to say farewell to thomas. we appreciate all the cards, flowers and the support we have recieved so thank you all. finally to thomas sleep peacefully till we all meet again we love you x

Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on,
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
more than a thought apart,
far as long as there is memory,
they'll live on in the heart.
