Such a loved man and missed by many 🍻🎣🌴
That barstool in the foreground… that’s you, Deets.
You used to joke about it all the time — how when your day came, there’d better be tributes left in the bar. Not a sad little whisper either. People laughing. You fully intended on being the most celebrated “absent” bloke in the room.
And honestly… you weren’t wrong.
You were never quiet. Never dull. And you loved your family fiercely — loudly, proudly, without hesitation. They were your greatest achievement, and we all knew it.
So here we are.
Your stool, front and centre.
Your favourite wine barrel beside it.
Your people behind it — raising glasses, smiling through it, doing exactly what you said they should.
You expected tributes in the bar.
Well Deets xx
Every clink of glass today was for you.
Every laugh today carried your name.
But every time someone points at that stool and says, “That’s Deets’ spot,” you’re right back here with us.
You will never just be remembered. You will always be celebrated.
And I promise you — as long as this bar stands, there will always be something left for you. A glass poured. A story told. A tribute that feels exactly like you: big, bad (but funny) jokes and full of life. 🖤 Love you always xx Nicky xx ...
