In the early hours of Sunday July 5th, Adam Rogers (24) had been on a night out with university friends, when police said there was an incident behind the Gladstone memorial near King George's Hall in Blackburn.
Adam was attacked by a man who punched him in the head and knocked him to the ground. The Police have said this single punch knocked him out and he received serious head injuries when he hit the ground.
His parents were on holiday in Malta at the time and immediately flew back to be by his bedside at the Royal Blackburn Hospital, where he was on a life-support machine. Sadly, tests showed that there was no brain activity and his family made the decision to switch off the machine at 2.30pm.
Detective Superintendent Neil Hunter who is leading the investigation, said: ""Adam had been out with some friends and as their last port of call they went into the Live Lounge, which used to be known as a bar called Moist. When he and his group of friends left, they walked down the left-hand-side of Northgate towards the Gladstone monument. At this time another group of people left the bar and walked down the right-hand-side of Northgate. The group consisted of three men and two women."
"One of the men in the group of five punched Adam to the head. He would have been virtually unconscious almost immediately, and then he banged his head on the floor. Some of Adam's friends ran after the man but he managed to get away. All of Adam's family were with him when he died, but that is no crumb of comfort to them."
Adam, was a former pupil of St Bede's RC High School in Blackburn and had then studied sport at Lancaster University. He was currently temporarily working for a local coach company. He had only just returned to live at the family home, after he split from his girlfriend in the Lake District.
A former school friend of Adam, Nick Turner said Adam was "the least likely person to get into a drunken fight. He never picked fights. To people who didn't know him, he was very quiet. He was a happy-go-lucky sort who loved football and every aspect of sport."
Police have now said that they have now arrested a 16-year-old local youth on suspicion of murder.

How will heaven be?
As far as I can see
It will have huge bells
And will be situated on clouds
It will have many golden wells
That will so often swell
Rain will be abundant
And the sun will shine all day long
Angels will play on the harp
The sweetest summer song
Music that will touch the heart
While those beneath will shed drops of sorrow
Little will they know what will happen on the morrow
But to them up above
As plain and clear it will be
As far as far as I can see
Yes there will be misty alleys
And lush green meadows
Fresh with the fragrant smell of spring
Winter will never be bitter
Summer never so hot
Autumn never so bare
And resources never so scarce
Food for all will be relished by all.
Grateful we’ll be as grateful can be
Mountains high and strong and brown
Surrounding that hidden land,
Beautiful and vast seas I see
There colour as blue as sapphire can be
And the white waves lashing upon the shore
Sitting on the flattened grey rocks
Who would not call it absolutely heavenly?
However it might actually be,
But can we still not see
There will lie behind this seen
A relieving feeling of bliss
For where not have we been
But is this not by all believed
That after one’s decease
This is the land of eternal peace
Where we all ultimately reach?

FOR MONDAY
Your gentle face and patient smile
With sadness we recall
You had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
FOR TUESDAY
In our hearts your memory lingers,
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day,
That we do not think of you.
FOR WEDNESDAY
Your life was a blessing
Your memory a treasure...
You are loved beyond words
And missed beyond measure...
FOR THURSDAY
You are not forgotten loved one
Nor will you ever be.
As long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
FOR FRIDAY
After Glow
I'd like the memory of me
To be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow
Of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo
Whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
And bright and sunny days
I'd like the tears
Of those who grieve,
To dry before the sun
Of happy memories that I leave
When life is done.
FOR SATURDAY
I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship started, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine to tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now; He set me free.
FOR SUNDAY
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not here to see...
If the sun should rise and find your
Eyes 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 you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand...
That Jesus came and called my name,
And took me by the hand.
He said my place was ready
In Heaven far above...
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
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.

I had not been aware of this tragic event untill today when adams father gave a speach at Blackburn college's student voice conference at mittion Fold. I have to say i was deeply touched my Adams father and the whole charity that he has set up to help others be aware of this sort of violence.It is an amazing thing to do.
Personally I did not know Adam, but from how his father spoke of him I got the feeling he was a lovely young man with a great heart and its such an upsetting thing to hear that someone could take such a person away.
I am a volunteer at Blackburn college and we will be getting involved in anything we can to help the charity.
I send my thoughts and prayers to his friends and family
R.I.P Adam
x x x Good night God Bless x x x x
We miss you every minute of everyday !!!!!

Turn Back Time.
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥
Oh dear God im hurting
I dont know what to do
Ive got no sunshine in my life
Everyday I'm feeling blue.
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥
Ive got no strength inside me
Im feeling very weak
Some days when I am so sad
I just cant even speak.
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥
I sit alone in silence
I wonder all the time
If I had magic powers
I would turn back time.
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥
Id turn back time
And stop the clock
To the happy days with you
For there would be more sunshine
And no more feeling blue.
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥
