The person that was very special to me and my family was called Phillip Bilby...Phillip passed away on Thursday the 29th of august...
Phillip was a young lad full of life. But god chosen to take him from us...
We all was a very close family...I only live 4 doors away from were he lived with his Mum, Dad and Sister...his brother lived only next door with his girlfriend and baby...
Phillip was a trained mechanic for Yorkshire traction buses... he loved his job...my auntie has said before she knew he would choose this profession because ever since she could remember he has always been fixing things and was very talented with his hands.....
Phillip was loving, caring, full of life and joy...he was always a tease and wound people up especially his sister..
Phillip had a girlfriend at the time when he passed which was very upsetting for her...our hearts with never be fixed because of what happened...it was very tragic because you never think that its going to happen to someone in your family. And when something like this happens it feels like your heart is ripped out of your chest...
I used to see Phillip everyday.. I have so many memories about him and it hurts so bad that he not with us anymore. It just does not seem fair...why us...why him...there are so many bad people in the world why take an innocent person from our lives...Phillip loved his car it was his pride and joy..he was always doing something with it to make it look better...he also loved his music..u used to hear him coming down street before he was even here with his done up car and his loud music...wish i could still hear that sound..
The day was Tuesday 27th of august.. Me, His sister, mum, dad and his nephew was one our way to flamingo land when we had a call of his brother saying that Phillip had been in a car accident...the police had tried at his house but no one was at home so they called next door asking if they knew where his parents were and he said yes they are my parents...we turned round to get the hospital which was Barnsley Hospital as it was closet to where he had the accident...Phillip was on his way to work... he had the accident at 9.09am...and he should have been at work earlier then this...we will never find out what happened in the accident...we tried to get the hospital as fast as we could but we hit traffic...my auntie was screaming with terror it was horrible..
When we got to the hospital some of our family was there all ready...they sat us in a little room as Phillip was in theatre...then they taken my auntie and uncle out of the room to tell them what had happened. Phillip had been taken into intensive care...he was on a life support machine as he could not breathe alone...99% of his brain was damage. His eyes where damaged, he had broken legs and broken arms...
The hospital was so supportive. They gave my auntie and uncle a room to sleep so they could be there 24/7...all the family was there...around 20...some of his friends come on the Wednesday...it was so heartbreaking seeing him laid there on an hospital. Wired up left right and centre...his eyes where covered with pads...his body was all bruised and you could see where the seat belt had bruised his chest. All the beeping I can still here it in my head...him jus laid there lifeless..
On the Thursday we got a call from my auntie asking to come as soon as possible...they had decided that they were going to switch the life support machine off because there was nothing more they could do for him...it was so heartbreaking...my auntie was hyperventilating...
I dint want to go in the room when they were turning the life support machine off. But I so wish I had now...that is my one regret over this...so I sat in a room with some of the family...all you could hear was screaming from the room and crying...and my auntie shouting Phillip. I went in the room when they all come out u could still feel his heart beating and his warmth still...then his hands started going a little cold...we all was showering him with kisses all of the time........
My auntie dint want to leave the hospital and was saying that she wanted to take him home...when we went back to there house. It felt was silent and still is...all of his things were still as they were. His bedroom still smelt of him...
Phillip's funeral was on the Friday the 6th of September...they was over 250 people at his funeral everybody wore blue because it was his favourite colour. The song for walking him into church was Berlin-Take me breath away...the hymn was All things bright and beautiful...there was a photo of Phillip beside of his coffin all I could do was stare at the picture...thinking this should not be happening. Everybody in church was in tears...the song when walking out was Rank 1-Airwave which was his favourite song...When we got the cemetery there was a mountain of flowers. As he was being lowered my auntie broke down and was screaming...'don’t take my boy'...everyone burst into tears...
Everyone in our family will never be the same again...all we have now is memories...until we meet again...We all love Phillip and always will. He is always in our hearts...forever and always...
We light a candle for him everyday...and always have flowers near his picture without a doubt with a candle burning to show we still love and care for him....
RIP PHILLIP BILBY...UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN..LOVE YOU...XXXXXXXXXX
Please light a candle for my cousin Phillip...xxxx

Thinking of you
Just wanted to say how me and carl really cared for Phillip. Phillip used to go out with my sister Bernadette. Me and Carl have so many memories of Phillip and he made us laugh so much we justed wanted to share a few, he always did the funniest things like when we all went to Devon and one night after we been to the pub he dared Carl to jump in the pool together so Carl did and Phillip ran of with his clothes Phillip was also sick all over carl that night to. One day we was all sat in my mums kitchen when my Dad had bought a halloween mask a real scary one with hair and he came up with the idea that he should go next door to my aunite Adeles house with it on and a big knife covered in tomatoe kethcup he just walked in and stood in her room and we heard her screams from next door she came round not knowing it was Phillip screaming to find us all crying in laughter. Phillip pushed me in the canal one day too.
All my family still talk about Phillip and how they liked him he was just lovely.
Love Melissa and Carl Dimaline x

what a gorgeous young man phill was. i read ur article about him but i had to stop half way as my eyes were streaming with tears as the mother of a 15mth old i cannot imagine the heartache of having to witnessing what you saw. i hope as everday goes on the pain eases a little and the lovely memories of him take over the ones you'd rather wishyou'd never have to see. i know it never goes away you just get used to it. Thoughts with you all x x
