Title: My 16 year old son passed away yesterday morning!!
Post by: Billy Russell on November 01, 2011, 10:41:44 am
We watched last night and we saw our son Marcus Powell mentioned on sky sports news, He was a promising young football player with cheltenham town fc who passed away peacefully in the early hours of monday morning!!! But he always said he would get on sky sports! such a shame it was under these circumstances! He was a huge Arsenal fan, who lived and breathed football, he will be sadly missed but never forgotten!!!

people will probably ask me why post this on here? I spend alot of my free time on here and other boards, i know there are a few of my friends from here that have sent me msg's on facebook and by text! So i wanted to come on here and thank everyone that as sent there thanks!

Absolute tragedy mate, I can see on FB that he was a popular kid and obviously much loved.

I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say if there's anything at all any of us can do, you only have to say the word.

Thoughts are with you and the family.

Billy....although we've already sent you our sincere condolences on FB I just wanted to reiterate them.  Noticing the 'banter' you had with Marcus on FB during the time we've been friends it was obvious that you had a great relationship and although tragically cut short it will be something that can be treasured for a lifetime.

Like most of the guys on here i am a family man and i cant even begin to imagine how you must be feeling at this time, we all deal with the day to day worries of running a business but these worries pale into insigificance when reading of your tragic loss.
If we can do anything do not hesitate to ask the cleanitup community, please accept my condolences for you and your family.

Gutted for you all.
As a supporter of Newport County I will expect the shock and loss to go out far and wide across the football community too.
No written words can ever make your loss easier, but take some strength from the fact there are many out there who are thinking of you and your family.
I'm sure that there are many of us on here who if you want to speak to someone would be only too happy to accept your call.

All the best mate
