  7. To Callum,
    You inspired so many with your jest for life in the face of great adversity. You lived and loved every moment and when life threw the cruelest of curve balls your way, not just once but twice, you rose above it all – each and every time, managing to laugh and to make others laugh with your cheekiness and sense of fun.
    To James and Kerrie,
    We cannot even begin to know the sadness you both feel with Callum’s loss, but know that you and all the family are very much in our thoughts and prayers.
    RIP young man, Godspeed

  8. We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name,
    In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
    It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone.
    For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
    You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
    And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
    Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
    But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
    We will always love you cal gone way to early love uncle mal and auntie Merna

It’s going to be hard to let go, but I know I have to live life to the fullest as you would have wanted. Loved going to the movies with you, and the way you always stood up for me. You gave the best hugs! Will miss you always, forever in my heart. Fly high Super Cal, Love Maddy x

    I didn’t have the pleasure to meet you in person but through your wonderful Mum I felt like I did know you.
    Over the years your Mum has spoken so highly of you and proud of all your achievements, I always enjoyed seeing her pics in Facebook (especially the tennis ones ).
    I know you were dearly loved by all your family and those that came into contact with you, you fought a good fight and now you can fly high, I know that you will be watching over your family giving them strength to get though this difficult time.

  14. Fly high Callum! Rest in peace! We only met once at the “walk for cal” around lakeside! It was so nice to see u smile and walk with family and your school friends and new friends like me! While we raised some money for you,it was more about the support and encouragement along the way! Deepest sympathies to your family and friends! I’m sure u left a legacy for them and lots of happy memories for them to share! We will “relay” on in your honour making money to fight the horrible disease of cancers! Fly high our “superhero” from your friends at “CANCURE”

  15. SuperCal – such a trooper throughout and up to the end. You are an inspiration to me and and if I looked up determination in the dictionary, there would be a picture of you. To Kerrie, James, Sam and Blake, your support and love for Callum was incredible and and whilst your loss is immeasurable, so is the love left behind for Callum and you all. I will miss his smiley, cheeky face in my window in the Performing Arts office, and I’m sure he will be strumming the chords of his favourite songs on his guitar, entertaining all that he meets in heaven. RIP beautiful angel. Love always, Ms. Welsh

  16. My name is Tim Willis, I taught Callum guitar for a few years. He was a delightful, sunny little boy, always happy, liked a joke, polite and well mannered. He was a good boy, a product of a loving, caring and nurturing family. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. My deepest and most sincere condolences to his family at this time

  17. Kerrie, James, Sam, Blake, and family – there are no words to express my deepest sorrow at the loss of Superhero Cal. He was the best superhero ever and you are all superheroes too. Fly high in your beautiful bat wings – Callum – your story has touched so very many people in so many ways and gave true meaning to the words brave and superhero, even though you were so humble yourself throughout this heartbreaking journey. To you all – be easy on yourselves and allow yourselves to grieve, to lean on people and let people help you. These things never ever make any sense, especially when it involves the loss of a child. I truly believe that one day, we will all be reunited with our loved ones, but until then, Cal will watch over you as he flies high like the superhero he is! xxxx

  18. Kerrie, James, Sammy, Blake and family – I was absolutely heartbroken to hear about Cal – life can be so unfair and we don’t get to understand the reasons why these things happen in our lifetime. He was such a brave, brave boy – a shining example of a real superhero. I know he is flying free and high in his beautiful bat wings. Nothing can take away your pain I know, but do know how much Callum was loved by so many and how much you are all loved too. I’m always here for you. Much love, Malzy xxx

  19. I did not get to meet you but I will not forget the legacy of bravery you impressed on so many. Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on His gentle breast. Cal in life and death we Salute you.

I can’t believe the challenges that you and your family have had to endure. My heart goes out to you all. It will be my absolute privelige to donate on your behalf. My thoughts and prayers are with you Kerrie, James, Sam and Blake. A truly beautiful family.

  21. Dearest Callum,

    15 years you graced this earth with your adventurous, loving, and beaming spirit. However short that time may have been, the impact you made will last for a lifetime.

    I hope you are looking down on us from your batcave in the sky and smiling happily, knowing you have touched, warmed, and inspired so many down here.

    My deepest condolences to Kerrie, James, and Sam. Sending love and warmth.

  22. Callum you were my best friend for 10 years and I’m so happy and proud to know you for so long. Throught out the years of knowing you you showed me that you were always so full of hope and dreams and you always had a smile on your face. Whenever I was down in the dumps you were always there for me and I was there for you. I’m gonna miss being able to spend time with you, talk to you and to play games with you. I loved you like you were my brother and I’m always going to remember all the fun times we spent together. I’m happy to know that you are free from your pain and suffering and are happy up in heaven playing Xbox or tennis. I’m going to miss you Callum, I love you dude.

  26. God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be.
    So he put his arms around you and whispered, come to me.

    RIP Cal. I will miss those tennis scores booming around the court for all to hear!

    James, Kerrie and family my deepest sympathy to you all. Callum was a beautiful young man, an Angel called home too soon.
    My love to you all

  27. We were so very sad to hear of Callum’s sickness and tragic passing. We also knew Callum from Playgroup, and later in life saw him at tennis lessons. I was so impressed by his talent and passion. Callum’s courageousness was so inspiring, Kerrie and James you must’ve been so proud of him. Abbey and Jake asked after him often and you were always in our thoughts, as you will be tomorrow. RIP brave boy and may you belt those balls pain free up in heaven xx
