Ross's final goodbye
VALLEY schoolboy Ross Fergus was remembered by family and friends at his funeral last Friday as a "unique and kind friend".
Mourners said a final farewell at St Anne's Church in Worksop to the 14-year-old Prospect youngster whose death was the result of a deadly 'prank'.
The lethal gimmick involves a form of self asphyxiation which causes a person to faint and is widely reported as an excuse by children to secure time off school.
Ross' mother Judith discovered him in the bathroom, unconscious on 29th September.
She raised the alarm and he was taken to Bassetlaw Hospital where he died the next day.
During the funeral, Hank Marvin's rendition of Everything I Do was played as crowds of mourners gathered in a packed St Anne's Church on Newcastle Avenue.
Rows of school children held hands and hugged each other as they remembered their good friend who was said to have a smile for everyone.
Rev Simon Cash led the mourners in prayers and said of Ross: "He was a beloved son, brother, uncle and friend and will be missed by everyone."
He told mourners that Ross was a modest boy, who could play both acoustic and electric guitar.
"He was truly unique. He taught himself to play the guitar, and on his website he said 'I'm not crap, I'm not the best, but I am pretty darn good'."
During the service, Rev Cash spoke about Ross' love of computer games, and about how he has been playing them since he was little and liked to play games online.
He also talked about Ross's love for rock music, which he shared with his mother and his brother Ralph.
Ross' head of year teacher, Penny Agar, spoke during the service and said she was touched by the maturity of his classmates in handling the news.
"Ross stood out ? he was funny, kind, and looked out for the younger children and had manners ? that was Ross," she said.
During the service, Don't Cry ? by Ross' favourite group Guns 'N' Roses ? echoed through the church, moving the majority of mourners to tears.
Ross' coffin stood at the front of the church, with a sea of deep red roses spilling over it.
A brightly coloured Guns 'N' Roses wreath revealed Ross' passion for music once more.
Ross' mother Judy bravely stood up to say a few words about her son whose smile could 'light up the darkest room', and thanked him for the memories they had shared.
"Thank you for the twinkle in your eye. Thank you for making me laugh. Thank you for letting me kiss your bumps and scrapes better, and thank you for the hugs you gave me when I was down", she said.
"I am not saying goodbye Ross, because you will never leave me. I love you,"
She then went on to read out a touching poem she had written, which ended with the line: "When I hold you in my arms once more, the sun will shine like never before."
The service was followed by cremation at Sherwood Forest Crematorium.
