LIAM BRIDGEMAN, the five-year-old boy who drowned in a Christ Church pool earlier this month, was given a final farewell by hundreds of red-clad family members and friends  on Saturday morning.  

As his lily-white casket lay at the front of Abundant Life Assembly in Bank Hall, St Michael, tributes were paid to the former St Cyprian’s Boys’ School student who wanted to be a veterinarian.

While many fought to keep their composure during the service, there was an undeniable theme that was brought to the fore by popular singer Damien Marvay’s rendition of Michael Jackson’s Gone Too Soon.

“Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight. Here one day, gone one night,” were lyrics which captured those feelings for Bridgeman, who died tragically on October 15 while at a pool party in Coverley. (AD)
