Riku died on november 15th 2006 he comitted suicide by jumping in the river tees. He was 29 years
old. Riku was a wonderful gentle person who was loved so much by everyone who ever met him. He
meant the world to me and our 3 children Daniel aged 15 Kane aged 11 and Bradley aged 7 at the time
of his death our boys were aged 14, 10 and 6. From 15th november when Riku died mine and our kids
lives have been turned upside down. Riku was such a quiet guy who wouldn't say no to anyone
that was his nature always kind and would bend over backwards to help anyone if only he had spoke to
me and let me know his problems then maybe he would be here with me n the boys today. Riku was born
in leicester and moved to london when he was 5 yrs old. In December 2002 when riku was 24 yrs old he
moved to stockton on tees to be with us permanently. Riku only lived in stockton for 5 years but he
touched so many people's hearts over 200 people attended his funeral traffic was stopped to let
the hearse and limousines through there was so many cars all full of people paying their last
respect to him. Out of that 200 people maybe a dozen were from london. Riku's best friend
Justin Ali came from london to attend his funeral he was best man at our wedding which was one of
the best days in my life and he is one of very few of Riku's friends who stay in touch to see
how were doing. As u can see by the picture my husband was asian and i am white. I thought i was
accepted by his family cos we visited his family and stayed with them from time to time but when my
darling husband passed away his family shunned me only two members of his family turned up for his
funeral his uncle and his brother. I don't know how his mother sleeps at night not knowing
where her son is buried.Since my husband passed away his family have not been in contact with me
which is disgusting cos riku chose to share his life with me and our children. Even though we only
lived together for 5 yrs and married for almost 4 yrs, i will treasure those years forever. His
family have showed him no respect in his death what so ever but we were his family and riku knew
that he called my mam, mam my dad, dad and my brother , bro. He was such a wonderful and loving
husband, much loved dad and son in law and brother. Riku loved nothing more than being with us he
didnt go out with mates down the pub his life was me and the kids which makes how he ended his life
even harder to deal with because he never showed that he was depressed or that he wanted to end his
life. That morning on 15th november 2006 when C.I.D knocked on my door at approx 5:50AM to tell me
they had pulled my babe(thats what we called each other) out of the river was the worst day of my
life the pain i felt and am still feeling is unreal and my poor boys they heard the tragic details
as when the police came the knockin at the door woke them our youngest bradley who is just 7 yrs old
ran to the bathroom and vomitted violently. We will never know why he did this to us.He was a real
quiet man but me and the kids were his life. He loved to do the homework with the boys every nite
that was one thing he insisted he do and im sure he will be laughing at me trying to help them now.
Our children adored him we are all finding this so hard its like a big piece has gone from our
lives. We will love you forever and never ever forget you, you were one in a million babe sleep tite
love you xx
miss you everyday x

when tomorrow starts without me
When 2moro starts without me,
And i'm not there 2 see.
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
The way you did today.
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say
I know how much you love me,
As much as i love you.
and each time you think of me,
I know you miss me too.
But when 2moro starts without me,
please try to understand.
That a angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand.
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above.
And that i'd never leave behind
All those i dearly loved.
You were always faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though they were times
You did some things
You know u shouldn't do
But you have been forgiven
And now at last your free
So when 2moro starts without me,
Don't think were far apart
For everytime you think of me
I'm right here, in your heart
sweet dreams baby, love you lots n miss you everyday xx
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS IN LIFE CANNOT BE SEEN OR EVEN TOUCHED,THEY MUST BE FELT WITHIN THE HEART.
