A biography of Jimmy Mizen

By Anonymous (not verified)

Some years ago I'd read a biography about Timothy Parry, killed in the Warrington bombing by the IRA in 1993 written by his father. In this, he described his son's "unique achievement" in helping in the peace process in Northern Ireland.

Will we see a similar life's story of Jimmy Mizen one day?

THAN-YOU

Dear Barry and Margarete,mizen family (and extended family and freinds)
What a wonderful service at Westminster Cathedral .
Such Inspiration ,such dignity, such love such forgiveness.
It represented our christian faith ,ethos and values with the inclusiveness that is inherent in our belief.
As Catholic Christians we know that the God moves in mysterious ways, with the moving of the holy spirit -the prof of a 'living god'.
Why Jimmy's life had to end in such a tragic way is beyond our human understanding, however,what has resulted from his death is a movement-The Jimmy Mizen Foundation-that sheds light into the dark corners of our society. A movement that challenges individuals, challenges communities and challenges authority figures to look for the goodness that 'sparkles' through the cracks of our broken society; to value and support our youth, for they are our future communities, our future authority leaders and ultimately the parents of our future generation.
We are all indebted to your brave voices for your consciousness-raising on this very important matter that challenges each and everyone of us to contribute towards the respectful and humane values that we seek.
love and prayers to you all,and the Jimmy mizen mission-Ali x

A person you've never met..

By Anonymous (not verified)

Dear Jimmy,

I have never met you. I heard your story through a friend. The story touched my heart in a way I didn't think it could. What an amazing boy you are. On this day marks the day of rememberance and Jimmy I remember your story. The future you've left and the past always a rememberance of how amazing one person can really be. Though the story is sad, the person is missed and words can only describe what you have meant to many over the years. I hope that God holds you in his hands and helps you guide the way for everyone else in troubling times. You are and will always be a young teen that has touched the life of another teen. And I know that you are smiling down at all of us wishing the best for every child in their lives ahead. Jimmy you will be greatly missed but your story is always in our hearts and has made a great impact in unimaginable ways. With that being said, Jimmy we all miss and love you very much.

We are all one family, and when tragedy strikes and one of our young ones are just snatched away from us.Well we all hurt. Jimmy will never never be forgotten.The fact you as a family turned your pain and grief in to something so unselfish is beyond words.
I had a dream about jimmy a couple of days after he passed.He was laughing running through the clouds with his arms outstretched saying wow cool.
I am a Mother and a Nan, I pray for us all everyday. God Bless

Today 9th of May - My son shares the same birthday as your dear son Jimmy. My son was diagnosed with cancer 10 years ago - by the grace of god He is still with us. Every day I thank God for that privilege and to witness his strength and courage is very humbling. Your work on behalf of your son and all young people, proves that when things are at there very worst - people are at their very best. May you find peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you today.

A tragic loss not only for Jimmy's family, but all Londoners. When will this madness stop? From the things I've been reading about Jimmy, I am sure he is now in a cleaner and more beautiful place. RIP

jimmy seemed a remarkable young man from a very decent family,if just one lesson can be learned from his senseless death and if that lesson can be respect then jimmy you did not die in vain. rest in peace son.

Rest in Peace young man. Your qualities are commendable & although it's very sad to say, I believe your tragic ending will bring forth some good for the future. Your parents are rightly very proud of you.

Sure the news travel very fast... and in an unpredictable way it arrives to these far lands.

Dear Jimmy, I know you are not with us now. I hope you can have a deserved rest after justice is being made. It is mostly unfair that some guy had to take your life with no reason. For the Mizen Family my deepest condolences, and sure your message is already being spread around the world. Not only Londoners are concerned, is everyone who this notice touches. Rest assure he will be watching you, and always be in your heart. As long as you remember him, he'll be there.

No one with a heart can fail to be moved by what happened to Jimmy - such a lovely, kind looking boy. Each time I see his photograph, or read anything about what happened, I cannot stop the tears.

To Barry and Margaret - you are both incredible people. Take comfort from knowing that people everywhere in London (and no doubt beyond) regard you both in the highest esteem. Anyone I speak to is full of sympathy but respect for each of you.

Jimmy's Message - that we do not have to like everyone, but we should respect everyone - is one that should be taken up by the Government to spearhead efforts to stop the senseless destruction of younf life on our streets.

Peace be with you - and best wishes for the funeral.

What a truly inspirational family and indeed young Jimmy may he rest in peace. interview on bbc 1 sunday (sunday life ) his mum and dad are remarkable.I Hope it is shown again at prime time for the youth of UK to watch.

By Lorna (not verified)

Your family has shown such incredible dignity in the face of the most harrowing and devastating of circumstances. You must be so proud to have Jimmy as your son, and to have such a loving and respectful family. And I'm sure that Jimmy will be looking down on you and will be incredibly proud of his lovely mum & dad, brothers & sisters. Such a tragic waste of a truly beautiful boy. My thoughts are with you all.

By Essex (not verified)

Although I don't know them,Barry and Margaret must be good people - good parents, else Jimmy would not have been the good and decent person he was -no doubt his siblings have the same values. If all parents were like them terrible crimes like this would not be so rampant.
To all the Mizen family: May your family, friends and your faith provide you all with the comfort and strength you need, now and forever.

I am proud to be a Catholic, and even more so when I see the calm dignity with which the Mizen family has conducted itself. What a wonderful example to the world in this day and age and even after having been so cruelly tested. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I feel a great affection for Jimmy and his parents. The world would be a much better place with more people like Margaret and Barry in it. I did not know Jimmy but he was obviously such a lovely boy, it makes my heart ache to think his young life was taken away from him. I am not religious but I wish I had the inner peace that Margaret and Barry have. I will be thinking about them on Friday.

I just saw Jimmy's parents being interviewed on sunday life, a show that i have never seen before. I felt totally inspired and humbled, as they said, they are just ordinary people, but they are and have acted in an extraordinary way. Thank you for offering us an example of such calm and forgiveness during your hour of need and pain. I hope that everyone can learn something from this.

I wonder how many other 16 year olds know about respect, probably more than we think but it takes someone special to write about it and understand it.

I wish i'd known you Jimmy, it would of been an honour to call you my friend, sleep well, pleasant dreams.

Watching Barry and Margaret on Sunday Life this morning letting us know how they felt about Jimmy's death, their attitude, the message they put across, was extremely touching. Their calmness and their approach to such a calamitous knockback was most heartening. Faith is a wonderful thing. Bless you. You will be in my prayers at mass today.

19 Feb19:09

By Hilary (not verified)

What a lovely young man Jimmy seems to have been. What a loss. And what a message to leave behind, that people do not have to like one another, but that they should respect one another. Something, which it is clear from some of the comments, that is going to be an uphill battle. Jimmy's death - his murder - shocked me along with millions of other people, and until and unless Jimmy's message about respect goes home to those who need to hear it, and we have a judicial system that metes out justice for the victim instead of overweening mercy for the criminal, I wonder how many more parents will have to go through what Margaret and Barry are having to face now. Mizen family; God bless you all, may your faith sustain you through your difficult times.

Our sincere condolenses are with Jimmy's family who have shown us all such a calm, brave example during such a diffcult and sad time. We will ensure that we continue to raise our children to have respect for everyone as Jimmy did.

19 Feb19:09

By Mary, Kent (not verified)

At 16 he was too young to be taken, and how nor his family deserved this. If his killer had the same beliefs about respect as Jimmy did, this may never have happened. What has happened to our society that kids are now killing kids without it would seem, giving it a second thought. Jimmy's family have shown an incredible amount of courage and dignity, they deserve to know that we are all thinking about them, and will be thinking about Jimmy and them on Friday, the day of his funeral.
R.I.P Jimmy, I didn't know you but you were clearing a credit to your family but you were also blessed to be part of such a loving family.

Jimmy was a wonderful energetic member of our year whos life and death effected everyone who had the absolute pleasure of knowing him. Every time i saw him there was that cheeky happy go lucky smile upon his face, he loved everyone around him and was an honest charming member of society. Going into school now i sometimes turn around and for a split second feel as though he's behind us still with us in body. He was an absolute joker who always made everyone smile even when they were upset, no matter who was around him Jimmy always spoke to people politely and lovingly and i really do belive he was the georgeous friendly giant. Jimmy you are missed by all and have toughed everyones hearts and souls, your family must be soo proud of you and i can't get over their amazing bravery at this tragic time, they have helped everyone get through this sooo much. as much as i wish you were here with us now i know that you're looking down on your family and firends giving them the support and confidence that you gave us in life. Although the pain of being without you will never go away i hope you remain helping everyone morn your death but also celebrate to joyous life you led. missing you always never going to forget you or the memories i have of you, R.I.P Jimmy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
