Jack Macleod, was last seen on Adelaide Bridge, Leamington Spa, on 4 December 2005. 31 days later Jack was recovered from the River Leam on 3rd January 2006. We miss him dreadfully and each day brings continued pain and suffering to all those who knew and loved him.
The following words were written by Jack's dad - Ewan Macleod who shared an extremly close and special realtionship with Jack. Jack loved Ewan and referred to him as his "best friend" and of course.......Dad.
"There is not a person I know who ever said anything other than positive things about him. It is his shyness, yet his ability to engage with people, his manners, his smile and his inability to offend. Wherever Jack goes he is known. Never thrusting himself upon the crowd, but quietly allowing people to find him, he had a confidence in his own ability to judge who and what he wants out of every situation".
"He won't let you down, he will never pass you by, he will never judge you. That is why everybody feels that they own a part of Jack. He is wise beyond his years. Adults have always warmed to him because he has a face that is never sullen and can quickly turn to a smile. He does things at his own pace, you can't make him hurry. He's not slow to tell you he loves you or someone else."
Jack's Dad, Ewan Macleod.

Hiya Jack
I met up with Adam tonight while I'm staying in London with a friend! We laughed so much talking about things we used to get up to at the dairy show! I smile when I think of you but can't help crying because you're not here.
Miss you always and forever.

Do you really belive it?
Can it really be true?
How can you belive that! Life has ended with death???
It simply is not true.
So we cannot be together like we used to.
Does that mean i am gone?
Now i dance on the moon.
I play on the stars.
I cool your face with gentle wind.
While watching you from afar.
For a love and bond.
Like our's is so very strong.
It will forever carry on and on xxx
Hey Jack,
Thinking of you today as always. I have your picture on my wall, the one of you in what I consider to be "the special T shirt" lol. I've still got the other two and will never throw them away, even if they are a bit threadbare now!!
I still play the CD I put together for you and it never fails to make me smile, cry and remember with great fondness what a great young man you were.
Sleep tight Jack and know that for you and your family I am always here.

Still not a day goes by without me thinking of you mate. Time may be a healer, but it's a lousy amnesiac. Life down in London is different, you would've loved visiting I reckon. Not sure if you're hooked up to the internet where you are now, but if 88% of the world has an internet connection, then i'd wager that Heaven does too! If you're still on dial-up up there then have a word with the Big Man and tell him to fork out for a high speed connection ;-)
Either way, you'll know that it's a comfort having you to think about when I need strength to deal with some of the things that make life tricky.
Always in my heart bro.
"Tom-iss Haaaaall" (as the younger you would say).
Behind the curtain.
Weird isn’t it when they are no longer there,
You half expect them to come down the stairs,
You wish you could see them, hear them, hold them.
You know some thing’s just not right
You still say things the same,
Like calling out or saying their name,
Like laughing at times all gone by
And still having a bit of a cry.
You want to change that single day,
That time that they went away,
But know they are always here with you,
Just behind a curtain we can not break through.
They laugh and cry just as we do,
Just behind a curtain we can not break through
