Guest Danny (again) Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Just another one to remind everyone to place a ring of black tape around your frame as a mark of respect. I remember one of the last conversation i had with him was about halfords!! All bikes I sell tomorrow will be leaving with a ring of black tape. You brought sunshine down on everyone you talked to, truely a legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Niall Cardin Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Location: OxfordDJ was always really cheerful and friendly, really cool guy. Was always great news if DJ was coming out, I definitely made an extra effort to be there if he was going. It's really hard to understand that he won't be around anymore. My most sicnere condolences to his family, my thoughts are with you, Niall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bongo Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 something just clicked. i'm getting ready for bed, i rode tonight, i had some tea. everything was normal, but "down the road" all this was happening. god only knows what his loved ones are going through. its a great shame. i hope they learn of the impact deej had on so many people that didn't even know him. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mark Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Yeah John, I was thinking that... It's so crazy that while that happened, I was feeling sorry for myself 'cos I had to stay in school for 2 hours to do art. When you think about life and stuff like that, about how it could be so, so much worse you kinda learn to appreciate what you've got... I left a message on his MSN for his family and gave them a link to this page. Don't know if they'll read it or not. I hope they do. I can't imagine how hard it must be for his parents. Having brought him up for 17 years, then to have him taken away all 'cos 2 cars were racing each other... It's just madness. I can't believe it's happened. I wouldn't say I knew him all that well, but I dunno... I felt almost hollow when I heard about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jon MacKinnon Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Location: Weston-super-MareYeah, just think, what were you doing at 3.10PM on the 14th May 2004. While you were just finishing school for the weekend, or on your way home, still at work, or uni/college, an innocent young man lost his life to some stupid joy riders, this incident means nothing to so many people, but yet to the few that knew him it means so much. Why did this have to happen. RIP DJ. You will be missed by so many. My love is with you and your family always and forever.

Guest Sebatian Charles (Ergosum) Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 RIP Deej. I'd never met DJ in person, but his presence on the Trials-Forum was unforgettable. I've never known someone so friendly, positive and happy. It takes someone really, really special to reach out to all the forum members in such a touching, warm way. Not only was he a top guy, but an absolutely superb rider. I'll never forget you DJ. I send out my greatest sympathies to all he knew and loved him.

Guest Haz Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I really do hope they play this song. John, I totally agree, what te #@*%! is happening now. People like me that met him twice or so, we are almost in tears, but close friends and family, it must be impossible for them. My thoughts are really with them, especially Em. Scarey song on virgin now, Perfect day. Meh :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hanna W Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Location: Abingdon..Grew up with DJI know it's been a while since we last spoke..our Mums were pregnant at the same time, we grew up together. Your family have always been so close to mine, and you've left a gap nobody could ever fill. From what I've seen..you were an amazing guy, and alot of people respected you. I don't really know what to say mate, but you will be missed, by everybody..and they will catch those idiots, and they will be punished for taking an Angel back up to heaven, even though it wasn't your time yet. You've no idea how much you'll be missed. We all love you DJ, We really, really do. Go up there and show them how its done..you always were amazing. xxxx Condolences to Em, and thank you to everyone putting messages on here, you're all so sweet. xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steve Spurgeon (Heatsink) Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Location: CambridgeDJ had such a positive influence on so many people in the trials community. Not only those whom have riden with him, but the many, many more on TF who have enjoyed his sense of fun, his love of life, and his generous nature. I was looking forward to continuing our chat about my connections to Abingdon, and finding out whether or not my brother lived across the road from him or not. Such trivialities, it seems now, but the way he found fun in the small things was infectious. The world seemed such as small world then, only hours ago, and an even smaller one now. Now he will transcend all that he has achieved, the positivity he has given to others and be with us all our lives. Always 17, as we grow old and eventually arthritus puts a stop to us even riding a pedal bike. DJ will live forever in us all. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dave Dennis Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Location: NorwichLike so many people i never got the chance to meet you, yet your likeableness and good nature was so obvious to see. I will remember you in such a positive light and even though your life was short this log is proof of how many people you touched. I really feel for your family and close friends i cant begin to imagine how bad it must feel. I will be riding for you tommorow. I can tell youd want as many of us to get out and ride as possible. SO come on everyone get out there for DJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andy (on that? u must be joki) Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Location: ScarboroughJust want to send my condolences to family and girlfriend. I never met you in person Deej, but you seemed a really sound guy, and one of the few people really comfortable in life. Sorry to see you go.
