Memorial website in the memory of your loved one
This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, my son, Brydon Garrett Paul Lehnartz .Who was born in Effingham, Illinois on February 14, 1985 at 2 p.m. at 7 lbs. 15 oz. 21 inches long and passed away on March 30, 2008  at 5:15 a.m. in Elsberry, Mo. at the age of 23. For only 8446 days,  or 23 years, 1 month and 17 days. We will love and remember him forever. Ours lives here will never be the same without him.
He was such a loving young man - never said anything mean of anyone...He believed in acceptance of everyone. This world is smaller without him.
Brydon wanted to do everything..His mind was racing  miles a minute..Life was so full of things to do, places to go.
He enjoyed music, good movies - especially " Matrix". Happy people.

We miss him .  Life is so different now.  At times I feel as though he's still here on earth.  Everyday I wish I could go back in time and do the right thing.  Brydon was hurting and I didn't help him.  I didn't understand mental illness, I thought I did, but I did not do the right thing for Brydon.    He needed professional help. 

Please don't let the pain continue, Help your loved ones.

    • "The time came when the pain it took to stay,
      was greater than the pain it took to go"

You never said you were leaving.
You never said good-bye.
You were gone before I knew it
and only God knew why.

A million times we've needed you,
a million times we've cried.
If love alone could have saved you;
you never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly.
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place,
no one else will ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
but you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you
the day God took you home.

Candles  

LIGHT A CANDLE

And I will light a candle for you

to shadow all the darkness and bless the times we knew

Like a beacon in the night the flame will burn bright

and guide us on our way

Oh today I light a candle for you.

Seasons come and go and I'm weary from the change

Keep on moving on -- you know it's not the same

And when I'm walking all alone

Do you hear me call your name?

Do you hear me sing the songs we used to sing?

And I will light a candle for you...

You filled my life with wonder -- touched me with surprise

Always saw that something special deep within your eyes

And through the good times and the bad

We carried on with pride

I hold on to the love and life we knew

And I will light a candle for you...

Oh today I light a candle for you.
