Martin Beard was my younger brother. He has 2 sisters, myself and Rachael Beard.
He was only 20 and was taken from us very young but doing a job he loved. He was a brave soldier, a
member of the Number 1 Squadron, a proud RAF Gunner. Martin was killed in action serving his country
in Basra, Iraq.
He was a loving member of the Tutin family, a real family man and dedicated to his fiancee Nic, who
he was due to be married in June 08.
I will remember Martin as witty, caring and loveable. He was always there to cheer you up when you
were down. He always knew what to say for the best.
I will never forget our many Christmas and evenings together playing games and laughing so much I
ached the next day. The nights out in Town and again laughing so much we cried.
It is always said they take the good young, in my dreams I hope he is at peace with our Mother
Freda, who departed this Earth 10years ago and we will meet again.
We all love and miss you Martin x x x

Forget-me -nots
we told you how proud we were of you, and that your mum , (god bless her) was always looking down on you, and would have been bursting with pride, to see what a wonderful brave young man you became! We'll keep an eye on the rest of your family for you and your mum. For the time you were part of our lives, you gave us all your golden smile and many diamond memories to cherish. Missing you, all our love and kisses from Uncle Conrad, Auntie Dawn,Alex, Steph and Kiel
Miss you Martin
It's very rare you meet someone who touches your heart, and you, Martin were one of those people for me. You always made me laugh, you were charming friendly and extremely witty, but above all extremely loyal to those you loved and cared for. I don't have a single memory of being with you and not smiling. I feel extremely privelidged to have known you, and you are missed more than any words can say. I can't listen to Roxanne without thinking of you.
God bless sweetie, i hope i see you again someday.
Taken too young
Your sisters and family and Nic are all very proud of you and rightly so. They hold memories that no one can take away. You were brave till the end defending your friends who will also never forget you. God bless you now.
ANOTHER HERO
I never ment to leave you
Could I have only stayed
We would be going on in life
With all the plans we made
Now all the hopes and dreams we shared
Are but sweet memories
For you to tuck inside your heart
Now when you remember me
Remember all the good times
And all the joy we shared
Remember how you touched my life
And how I really cared
Think back on all the laughter
And wipe away the tears
You have still many miles to go
And still have many years
Don't look back, look forward
This day is a brand new start
And as you travel on in life
You'll take a bit of my heart
I never ment to leave you
But still you'll not be alone
For as long as my love lives in you
I'll never really be gone
God bless you Martin & your loving family xx
My Memory of Martin...
Martin, I met you at Victoria and Andy's wedding, you made me laugh so much, everyone will remember, you got on-stage and hosted a drinking game. Every time I hear Roxanne on the radio, I remember that moment and I laugh so hard. I’ll never for get that!
“Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light”
The world could do with more people just like you
R.I.P

Good bye and God bless x
I will always remember Martin as the cheeky whipper snapper that used to come and bother me and Vicky when we were busy playing out in the garden when we were about 9 or 10. He was always a cheeky monkey with a big grin.
He will be missed so much by his family and friends, but hope they can feel at peace knowing the fact that he is now somewhere so much better than here, with his mum having a great time.
God bless
