David had been reported missing earlier in the week, and the worst fears of his loved ones and community members have now become a devastating reality. While police have confirmed that the death is not being treated as suspicious, and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal, the emotional impact of his loss is immeasurable.
To those who knew him, Housty was more than just a name — he was a larger-than-life character whose presence lit up every room, whose loyalty to his friends ran deep, and whose laugh could echo across a crowded street. He was raw, real, and deeply loved.
“Gonny miss you, Housty,” is more than a farewell — it’s a cry from the hearts of countless friends, family, and strangers who now feel the weight of his absence. His story is one of a man who, like so many, wrestled with struggles that were often hidden behind smiles and bravado. And while his death is not being treated as suspicious, the silent battles he may have faced should never be ignored or forgotten.
Eglington Park, once a place of memories and laughter, now bears the weight of grief — a quiet patch of woods that has become the backdrop to a community’s heartbreak. It’s here that people will gather to mourn, to lay flowers, to light candles, and to remember the soul who once walked its paths with fire in his heart.
For those who loved David — whether you knew him from the football pitch, the pub, the streets, or simply in passing — the pain is raw, and the questions many. But what remains clear is that he was loved. Deeply. Imperfectly. Fiercely.
Let us hold his family close in our thoughts. Let us be kind to one another. Let us check in, reach out, and listen when someone says they’re not okay.
To David “Housty” Houston —
We weren’t ready to say goodbye.
You mattered. You always will.
Rest easy, big man. You’re free now.
🕯️ Gone but never forgotten.
