Jade Defoe, 26, suffered serious head injuries in an attack in Walnut Gardens, Stratford, on April 20. His skull was fractured and he sustained massive brain damage Jade Defoe died five days after the attack near the junction with Leytonstone Road. Christopher Farley, 33, of Kingswood Road, Leytonstone, appeared at Redbridge Magistrates' Court this morning (Weds April 29). He will appear at the Old Bailey on August 5. A 28-year-old man who was arrested by police on suspicion of perverting the course of justice has been released on bail. Father-of-three Mr Defoe, 26, from Forest Gate, received brain injuries in the attack. He performed under the name Esco Bars - and had been tipped for commercial success as an MC.

Our Thoughts are with his kids, Stacey (Wife), Judith (Mother), Jimmy (Father), Brothers and Relatives. Gavin will always be remembered for being a kind hearted soul who did his best for his family.

THIS IS FOR YOU GAV R.I.P

We Must be strong for Gav, yet still we must Grieve.
God called time on his life coz it was his time to leave
In spirit and mind Gavin's memory will always live on
His love one's must make efforts for the kids to be strong
We love you dear Gavin and you we will never forget
But the turn of recent events we will forever regret
At most times in our lives we do imagine and think the worst
But never do we predict death, of the ones that we Nurse
Gavin ur memory will live on, it will grow more as time pass
The visions of you smiling is how I remember you last
Your now safe and protected in God Garden of Love
We will be saving the messages to send way up above.

R.I.P My Dear Little Cousin A.K.A Esco Bars.........

You will Shine In Heaven Gav.

r.i.p bro

Esco was one of the first mc's i listened to which got me interested in listening to grime.. He definately had raw talent and was one of my favourite mc's.. Im from east london eswel and i still sing some of his lyrics now and then in my head while im training or at work to get by as some of his lyrics are bare hype e,g esco practice hours.. He sounded like a true warrior and i hope he is now at a better place.. Respect

Good Night Gavin

Goodnight Gavin, it's time to sleep
Memories of you we will always keep
When the final time comes to say goodbye
There will be noone who will have a dry eye
I miss you simply being alive and well
You're missing now folks can really tell
I hope gods has taken you under his wing
The angels will spread the love they bring
Your free from pain and are safe and sound
A father, son and brother in you they found
God Bless your soul, may you rest in peace
The tension and stress from your body is released

Goodnight Dear Cousin...Rest In Peace..

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Goodnight Angel Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
There is a home not made by hands Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Beyond its golden door Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Awaits the one who’s now away Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Not lost just gone before Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
And in that home not made by hands Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
The Master will prepare Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
A place for us, and when he calls Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
We’ll meet our loved ones there Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

To the living, I am gone
To the sorrowful, I will never return
To the angry, I was cheated
But to the happy, I am at peace
And to the faithful, I have never left
I cannot speak, but I can listen
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard
So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful sea
As you look upon a flower and admire it's simplicity
Remember Me…
Remember me in your heart
Your thoughts, and your memories
Of the times we loved
The times we cried
The times we fought
The times we laughed
For if you always think of me
I will never have gone…

Letter From Heaven.
When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an Angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity,
and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
and share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
