ice rink, south London on Saturday 3rd February.
Dre, had a bright future ahead of him, he was very popular and well loved, he will be missed by his
family and all his friends.
RIP Dre x
May Justice prevail!
Hell on earth!
I am very saddened but not shocked that such a young inncocent life has been taken.
What a waste...
My grandmother use to tell me that this is" Hell on earth" now I know what she meant.
My deepest thoughts go out to the Ford family at this traumatic time, and I pray that God gives you the strenght and courage to get through this.
I also pleed with all you teenagers, that were there on Saturday to come forward and SPEAK...this could be one of your loved ones, and might still be as the TRIGGER is getting closer and closer to our door steps!!
AND to the Culprit and his friends if your your reading this, your a COWARD, and Karma will come back for you!!!!!!!!
They say time is a healer...stay strong x
Rest in Peace
Sending all my love to your family and friends in this time of sadness. I hope who ever did this terrible thing is held responsible for their actions. May god watch over your soul. God Bless your family. Rest in Peace James. May you lay in heaven with the angels. X
I live about 50m from the ice rink, and only heard about this this morning.
My thoughts go out to the family and friends of this young lad.
It is so awful that violence like this spills out from the places you expect it into the lives and places of enjoyment of those who have no reason to be involved. This was a 16 year old kid out having fun with his friends.
my thoughts go out to your family. mindless criminals have taken a life of a young 16 year old boy with his whole life ahead of him. may he rest in peace.
im sure his spirit will live on through all his friends and family.
you wont be forgotton but remebered for the smiles you have put on peoples faces.
justice will be done for your family, it has too in order to stop more young peoples lives to be taken carelesly.
R.I.P JAMES SMARTT-FORD
My thoughts and condolences go out to James' family.
It was not your time James, but I do hope that you are at peace now. The entire country is thinking of you.
How anybody could commit such a heinous crime is beyond me.
Anyone with information... PLEASE contact the police. Whoever did this deserves to rot for eternity.
celebrate his life
i remeber james from eardley primary school as a funny andenjoyable person for him to be gone is a real pain cause hes was sucha good guy rip man xxxxx
No doubt there will be some retaliation and more lives ended and more people living in fear of a community that thinks guns are cool and promotes their usage!
WHEN R THESE PEOPLE GONA WISE UP??
YET ANOTHER INNOCENT LIFE HAS BEEN TAKEN!!
A CHILD WHOS PARENTS MY HEART GOES OUT TO.
WHEN R THESE NASTY PEOPLE GONA HAVE THEIR TURN!!
GOD REST YOUR SOUL DARLING YOUR NOW WITH THE ANGELS X
WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY
All my thoughts go out to the family at this difficult time. So young, so much to live for - makes you think why someone thought he had something to die for. Put away the guns young people as they are taking away far too many of our Son's and Daughters. To all the family I bid you strength and an ability to get through this horrible time - I can not and would not like to imagine what you’re going through. My own cousin was taken violently at the age of 19 (hurts like hell). RIP to all our fallen love one's taken by an act of senseless violence
I was at this disco when this happend, although i didnt see anything... I hope that justice will be done, as a family and friends have lost a very important member. My heart goes wiv all his family and friends. How comes there is still so much gun crime young people lose there life coz some people want to act like the big person..well in my eyes thos who carry Guns anit nothing they are small!!
My deepest sympathy goes to the family
Hes in a better place now
