I know most of you guys wont know him but he posted on here a bit and was a really top bloke.
In a very unfortunate event, Alex died last night in a terrible fall and i just wanted to make this thread for us to show our prestone respects.
Alex was a mint guy and everyone always had a good word to say about him. We only got to know eachother through mutual friends, but everytime we were out together we'd always have laugh.
He was the first person to ever give me true absinthe and we laughed like hell when i couldnt stop dribbling from it.
He was a top top guy + will be dearly missed by all that were in connection with him.
Gonna miss you man.

We mixed within the same circles and he was always a happy positive fella who would do anything for his friends.
He was out last night with his work and popped into warehouse for a bit.
It just wierd how just 24hours ago we were chattin bullshit and now he aint here for that.

Didn't know the guy, but my heart goes out to his family and friends. What a shitty thing to happen to someone who from this thread was obviously popular and nice.
Feels like I must've met the guy at some point, considering a lot of my friends off here knew him, obviously, but I can't put a face to the name.
Commiserations to his family and friends though, awful news.

Same as, but Helen is my step sister, from what I can gather from previous conversations with my parents the guy was well liked. Incredibly sad, i hope all involved are being looked after.
If and when I speak to someone at home I'll draw their attention here.
Si.
this thread moved me to tears.
my sincere condolences to all his friends and family

Did you meet him that time in the Warehouse around Easter?
Only time I've met him, but he genuinely seemed like a nice guy. Was making jokes about a fat guy taking a shit and some orange girls who called his mate "an ugly poof".
Me and Chazz used to be pretty good mates with Helen back in the Mitre days, and heaven knows what she's going through at the moment.
It's a bit stupid to say "I hope she's ok", but I really do hope she is.

03-08-2008, 08:58 PM
She'll appreciate all this she really will.
I spoke to her this morning and i really struggled on what to say other than the obvious.
Its still a complete mystery as to how this happened and hopefully we shall get some answers this week.

I only heard about it when I get back from BoR about 12.30. I was on here halfway through about 5 messages to her on Facebook and in the end I just gave up because I didn't know what to say without sounding stupid. I know there's the obvious, like "I'm sorry" or "I hope you're ok" but I'd rather say something better than that. The problem is, I can't.

maybe sometimes it's what's unsaid that's best? i reckon just being a friend to her rather than reminding her of it would be better

Yeah, the words she probably most wants to hear is something along the lines of.. "We're off to watch a film if you fancy coming?" (or whatever you kids do with your mates these days), y'know, normalcy, distraction. She's probably heard the words 'I'm sorry.' So many times they make her feel sick.. however much she appreciates the sentiment. She probably won't want to come watch a film with you right now, but the invitation is at least a positive in a sea of negatives.

To be honest man, we were chatting about this yesterday, and your name came up. Ain't nobody invincible, and this is sad proof of that.

It's difficult to know what to say but my opinion is that to think that you'll upset people in this situation by saying something that will remind them of what's happened is an error. Seriously, it's all they'll be thinking about now, it's impossible to remind them, it will be dominating their thoughts all the time anyway.
Many people actually do really want to talk about the person they've just lost and platitudes like "Are you alright? " or "I wish there was something I could do," show them that you care. I think the best thing you can do is let them talk if they need to and even share your memories of the person they've lost as this will show them that lots of other people cared for them too and they are gone but not forgotten by people. Giving someone a friendly ear in times like this is often the only thing that will relieve the pressure on someone in that kind of awful situation. I've had it said to me by bereaved people that the worse thing is that others seem to almost be pretending that the person who has died did not exist because suddenly no-one wants to mention them in case they upset you or remind you or set you off or something, whereas really, what they want to do is feel that the memory of the person is respected and that they were loved and will be missed by many.
It is really difficult though. It's just such an awful thing to happen.

seconded. I for one would say just knowing people are there is an amazing thing, and even one line that says "if there is anything i can do let me know" is infinitely better than saying nothing in the hope someone else has.
Dont think i met him, horrible accident, tragic loss. Rest in Peace.
It just dawned on me who this is.
shit.
See now Joe?
Tis a shame , don't think i ever met the guy , but one of the lads in the band that shares with us knew him and said he was sorted as ewt.
No age to go that :( RIP fella
hope his family and band pull through.

I only found out about this last night (via Facebook of all things).
It was a big shock to my wife and I because he was a good friend of ours.
Absolutely gutted today.
RIP dude.
Found out about this much later than I would have liked, on account of being out of the country, but I just want to say my thoughts are with Helli, one of my longest friends, and Alex's family. Words are meaningless at a time like this. He was a fantastic guy, and his passing is going to stick fresh in my mind for quite some time.
