‘I know that you knew how much you were loved. I was so proud of you and everything you achieved. You have been to places that I can only dream of.
‘Whatever you put your mind to, you achieved. When you were younger you were a talented sportsperson, musician and of course, hairdresser – your dream job. You won medals and awards in gymnastics and hairdressing.
‘Your life was too short, but you squeezed so much into it. You were so kind-hearted, a gentle soul who was just so beautiful inside and out.’
Olly’s older brother Ben said: ‘Oliver Marmon you are my little ray of sunshine. You are my best friend. You radiate joy and excitement to all around you.
‘You are full of creativity and spontaneous ideas for fun. You are the light of happiness in every room. You are so kind and caring and happy to walk in anyone’s shadow as long as everyone else is smiling.
‘You are the bravest soul and no matter how much you felt different you were always so loved by everyone. Never underestimate the difference you made and the lives you touched.
‘I didn’t tell you enough, but I was immensely proud of you. Always my best friend and my little Bruva bear.’
In September last year Jaymi shared a happy photo of him kissing Oliver on the cheek as they stood on a beach.
He wrote: ’14 years together and 1 year until ‘I do’ ! Happy anniversary! I think of many beautiful quotes when I think of our relationship so far, but one that really Sums it all up for me is from Her Late Majesty QE2, ‘He has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years’!
