Very sad.  RIP Chris

That is terrible news!

My thoughts are with Chris’ family and friends! 

[Ska Junkie]

I do recognise him from his picture and 31 is no age to leave us at any time but even moreso at this time of year, so, so sad.

R.I.P Chris, condolences to family and friends.

So young, so cruel, life can be such a bitch, cherish every day

R.I.P. Chris

A great friend of mine was taken ill yesterday morning and sadly passed away later in the day 

Chris was well known around Weston and frequently travelled with us to home and away games 

I'm not too proud to admit many tears have been shed over the past hours 

Christmas will never the same

R.I.P fellow red keep the red flag flying xx

[RedRock]

Awful, awful news. Life can be so cruel. 

Rest well fellow red. 

[nick jones of hereford]

Incredibly sad. So young too. Condolences to his friends & family. RIP.

[oldstandrobin]

Very sad to hear of your loss at such a young age. My prayers go to Chris,his family friends and you Phantom especially at this time of year. A man who would risk his life to save others. RIP Chris. 

[Gakoe]

Such sad news to hear the passing of this brave man. Sincere condolences to all who knew Chris. 

RIP fellow Red x

[sglosbcfc]

Incredibly sad news, my prayers to the family and his loved ones. Far too soon to approach the family now of course, but what about his son being mascot for a future home game. If the club won't do it, then I'm sure enough of us would be willing to contribute a fiver or tenner to cover the cost. 

[RedLionLad]

R.I.P. fellow Red.

Like Lester, taken far too young.

[Maesknoll Red]

Thats tragic, its sad when someone who has lived to an old age dies, but to lose someone at that age is devastating.  Condolences to friends and family.

[red ponty]

RIP son, thoughts with your family and friends. 

[2015]

That is terrible, and freightening. I am very sorry to hear of your loss. RIP.

[MarcusX]

So sorry for your loss @phantom very sad reading that and as others said so close to Xmas too.

Hope you and your friends and his family are doing as well as can be expected at this time.

[Andy082005]

Dreadful news. Sincerest condolences to the OP and all his family and friends 

[Wilksi]

RIP

[REDOXO]

Thought of Chris after watching that.   
 

Although I never met the fella I know he would have enjoyed that!

[Claverham_Red]

Very sorry to hear this news. RIP to a fellow red.

My brother-in-law tragically also died aged 31 a month ago so certainly feel your pain at this sad time.

[Kid in the Riot]

Rest in peace, Chris. Terrible news, and I suspect a noble and brave man to be with the RNLI. 

[phantom]

Thank to everyone for all the kind words above

[phantom]

Very sad and emotional farewell 

 

[Open End Numb Legs]

Thanks for posting the updates. A tough thing to read as a distant person with no connection, I can't imagine what it must be like for the families and friends.

What a fine tribute with the use of the life boat.

Just as an aside, my sons are always drawn to watching the TV documentaries about the RNLI. The volunteer aspect seems to make an impact with them.

[PHILINFRANCE]

Whilst life frequently seems to be unfair, I find there is always something extremely poignant when someone in the emergency services or, in this case, the RNLI, volunteers no less, dies so young.

They frequently put their lives at risk to save others, and disappear so soon.

Very sad.
