William (womble) Gardiner

William Gardiner born 4th Jan 1963-died 28th Aug 2005, Son of David & Janet, Brother to Mary & Margaret. Tragically taken (Murdered) away from his family on 28th Aug 2005, for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He had been at a house party & was on his way home when a car had pulled up and fired shots at the window of a house just as william walked out of the house they turned & shot him in the chest. It broke all our hearts when we were told. He was the most kind, fun, loving person to have ever walked on this earth. Anyone who has ever met Womble will know what kind of guy he was. Everyone in our community was devasted when they found out about William, no-one could believe it was him and how we wish it wasnt true to have happened to my brother . Our family lives changed forever that day and will never be the same again. Life without him is very hard, Everyday we have to go on the best way possible no matter how difficult it may be. He worked hard mon-fri driving his lorry, he lived with his parents David & Janet who miss him terribly and have never got over his death and never will. They go throught life the best way they can living each day as it comes. They never thought that their son would ever be buried before them, its every parents worst nightmare. He has 2 sisters Mary who is older & Margaret who is younger, they will never forget him ever because their love for him is in their hearts & the memories they have will always be with them. When he seperated from his wife Ann he moved back to his parents home where he lived for the last 5 years before his life was taken from us all. By 5 murdering b******s but only 2 out of 5 were convicted of murder. Although they were jailed it doesnt bring him back. At times we do things or even call his name then we are reminded of our loss again. The hardest part of life we have to live with is we never got to say goodbye. No last words were spoken as his life was taken away from us all so soon. He has 2 children Terri, David & Granddaughter Kiera. He loved being a papa. He is also an uncle to Janet, Duncan, Gillian, Graham, Angela, Andrew & his name sake wee William. That morning I got a phone call from my big sister mary to go round to her house and when I got there a police car was outside her home. Inside 2 police men were standing! They told me to sit down then one of them said there had been a shooting and my brother had been shot. Nothing in this world had prepaired me for what I had just been told, these words will live with me forever, we still expect him to walk through the door & hear his voice or see his face. We live each day as best we can and we speak of william every day just as if he is still here. We will never understand (WHY) it happened. He was a kind and gentle person that didn\\\'t deserve to be taken away from his family & friends. He loved to party and was always there to help anyone no matter what. He loved to watch his football team Rangers with his friend steven whom supported celtic, What a pair they were aswell! Keeping each other going which ever team won on that day it was all just fun to them. He misses William terribly. I miss him so much & I never imagined in a million years that he wouldn\\\'t be around for me when ever I needed him, he was always there for me. He looked out for all his family & made sure they didn\\\'t come to any harm he was a proud family man. Our mum & dad celebrated there 50th Wedding Anniversary on 10th March 2007. We celebrated the best we could, although we were sad because William wasn\\\'t with us, but we believe he is always here in spirit. He loved a good party Our Wull. He was funny and loved his life very much, he would do anything for a laugh, even kid on he was a stripper at parties. Thats just the kind of guy he was, always joking! Everybody knew and loved him. He is missed very, very much..
Love n miss you ever day of our life Wull.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
