A humble, gentle natured young man. His presence was always felt when he entered a room. Not because of his ego but because of his warmth, sense of humor and his sincerity. Lochie you were one of a kind. May you rest in peace my friend.
Lockie was the kind of person who didn't need to fill a room with noise to leave a mark on it. His presence was quiet, steady, and deeply kind — and those who were lucky enough to be close to him knew exactly how rare that is. To us he was more than a friend. He was a safe place. Someone who showed up not just in the good moments, but in the ones that were hard and uncertain too. He cared with a gentleness that never asked for anything in return. Lockie didn't wear his heart loudly, but he wore it honestly. He was thoughtful in the way he listened, generous in the way he gave his time, and genuine. He made the people around him feel seen. We are so grateful for every laugh shared, every special moment, every act of kindness that might have seemed small at the time but meant the world. Lockie, may you rest in peace. You were loved more deeply than words can hold, and you will not be forgotten — not by those whose lives you quietly and profoundly shaped. Go gently, dear friend.
Lochie The world is now lesser off. We have lost one of the best., It’s so hard to make sense of it. I met Lochie when he 18 years old. A friendship grounded in mutual respect and admiration was formed. We were a team — always centred around his beautiful wife, Kelly, and always wanting the very best for her. It was a privilege to walk alongside their journey. Lochie was stoic, compassionate and the most humble man I’ve ever known. He never saw Kelly as someone with Huntington’s- he saw Kelly. They were soulmates. The kind of love most of us only get to witness from a distance. Their love was genuine and pure. Lochie was a devoted husband, a son, a brother — and he was my friend. God really does take the good ones. Lochie, You are one of a kind and your gentle, quiet presence will be deeply missed 🤍
