Marc Aidan Nuyens
Birthday: 1st September 1988
Angel Day: 10th December 2006
Marc was born in a small mining town called Karratha which is in the North West of Western Australia
and was a very happy baby with a big sister and brother to dote over him, there was an age
difference between them. 8 yrs for his sister and 5 yrs for his brother, so you can imagine how
spoilt he was. He lacked for nothing in the love department and he had them wrapped around his
little finger.
As he grew older and started school he was very into his sports. Soccer to start with and then
later on he wanted to play AFL (Australian Rules Football) at which he did very well. He wanted to
continue to play both but with his school work starting to suffer with all the training, he was told
to make a choice between them, so AFL it was.
When Marc was 16, we moved to Darwin which in the Northern Territory of Australia and he was not
happy at all here because all of his friends were back in WA.
When he finished school he got an apprenticeship as a diesel mechanic and things then started to
look up for him as he was finally really happy in his life. The guys that he worked with are very
family orientated and he became part of that family. He was never home on the weekends as they would
all go out camping or doing a lot of other outdoor sports.
We were invited to go to a wedding in Perth WA and left here on the Monday, after dropping him off
at work and took 7 days to drive down, visiting friends and our 3 ½ yr old granddaughter in
Karratha for a few days. On Friday the 8th we rang him as he had forgotten my birthday the day
before. He was having a BBQ here at the house for all the guys and families that he worked with.
After chatting for about 10 mins and reminding him that I would pick him up at the airport next
Friday as he was coming to the wedding and also catching up with all his mates, he said that he had
to go that everyone was arriving. Love you mum were his last words.
He died in a car accident on the 10/12/06
I now tell Makayla (His niece) when she says that she doesn’t like to go to bed, because there are
monster under there, that Uncle Marc is an angel and that he wouldn’t let them get her.
Love you always Marc.
A SHINING STAR
I gaze up at the sky each night
and find the brightest star.
It's always waiting there for me
so close, but yet so far.
The star winks in the evening sky
and reaches out to me.
It magically appears each night
for all the world to see.
I've wished upon this special star
my whole life through, it seems.
I've closed my eyes and made my wish
of hopes, and plans, and dreams.
And then, one day I got my wish
when finally I had you.
You were that someone special
and all my dreams came true.
And now we have to be apart
I find that same bright star.
It makes me feel so close to you
no matter where you are.

Judy, this is for MARC, your precious, shining star.....
Happy 21st darling Marc
If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.
If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.
So I would just like to say to you
Happy 21st for today
Love you always Marc
Another year has come and gone
It seems like only yesterday
I rocked you on my knee,
With dreams about the future and
What you were going to be.
You were so bright and happy
Such a precious little boy,
You gave your love to everyone
And filled our hearts with joy.
Strangers would admire you
And stop to say hello,
"He'll break a lot of hearts," they said,
"In twenty years or so."
But less than twenty years from then,
What they said came true,
As we were forced against our will
To say goodbye to you.
A life so short and unfulfilled,
With so much left to go,
"Why, oh why?" we ask ourselves,
When we all loved you so.
So many questions flood our minds,
"What if, and Why and How?"
If we had done things differently,
Would you still be with us now?
When I hear the phone ring
I expect to hear you say,
"Alright Mum? What're you doing,
Can you come and pick me up?
But you don't need to ask now,
You're with us every day,
Within our hearts, our minds, our souls,
Your memory will stay.
You left us so suddenly, your thoughts unknown,
You left us memories, we are proud to own.
Love you always
Mum & Dad xxx
Happy birthday darling
20th Birthday Poem
How do you say “Happy Birthday”
to a son that’s no longer here?
Who was also a friend and brother,
whose presence is always near.
Living without you from day to day,
is pain we all endure.
But you are in a better place,
as for that, we all are sure.
Knowing this still doesn’t make it easy,
you would have turned 20 today.
And although you are celebrating in heaven.
In OUR hearts you will always stay!
So Happy Birthday Marc,
your teenage days would be over and done.
From child to young adult,
had only you not died so young.
God must have needed an angel,
to teach a lesson or two.
And as we all know there has never been,
a more prefect angel than YOU!
So with some courage and strength,
along with all the pain that we bear.
We will do our best to live without you,
until the day that we meet you there.
If Tears Could Build a Staircase...
I think of you often
and make no outward show,
But what it means to lose you,
no one will ever know
You wished no one farewell,
not even said good-bye,
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
You are not forgotten
nor will you ever be,
As long as life and memories last,
I will remember you.
To some you may be forgotten,
to others a part of the past,
But to me who loved you dearly,
your memories will always last.
Nothing can be more beautiful
than the memories I have of you.
To me, you were someone special,
God must have thought so too!
If tears could build a staircase
and memories a lane,
I would walk all the way to Heaven,
and bring you back again.
Happy easter Marc.
I Love you
As long as we love each other we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still here. You live on in everyone you have touched while you were here. We miss you and will love you always Marc
♥ღ♥ Gone Only To Others by Ann Holloway ♥ღ♥
Others, who do not know,
Tiptoe around your name
Unaware that your name is silently
Written on my heart, my soul, my life
And inwardly I cry out to hear it spoken.
Others who do not know
Think of you as only in the past
And believe
That you only exist in my past too
Not understanding that you are
Past, Present, Future.
Others, who do not know,
Feel you as gone,
And fail to see the reality of you
Never being ‘truly’ gone from me.
The empty void of your absence
Is filled with your presence,
Your life will forever weave through mine
The divine bond cannot be severed.
Others who do not know,
Mistakenly may think that my love has been
Weakened by separation,
Feelings ceased,
Not so.
Entwined and strengthened
My love for you lives on
And has not died with death.
But you know all this,
If only others knew.
Well my darling, today is 14 months since you left us.
I just want you to know that we all love you and still miss you so very, very much. Keep looking down on us and go on giving Kayla her kisses.
Love you my baby.
Mum
