Hats off. Brave chap. Sad day.

 

[Gritt23]

Left a quite incredible legacy behind him.

Sad day for the family, but they can feel so proud of what he achieved and how he dealt with this terrible illness.

Amazing fella, he knew a couple of days ago he wouldn't last long, he was still smiling.

 

[DIFFBROOK]

I dont think I could put it any better than this. Except to add, his message of using every day to its maximum, enjoying every day is possibly a message to us al..

Left a quite incredible legacy behind him.

Sad day for the family, but they can feel so proud of what he achieved and how he dealt with this terrible illness.

 

[Grombleton]

And to think, we're all sat here bickering about bloody football.

RIP. Anyone who does a great deal for any charity is fine with me.

Makes our shit seem a little less significant.
Stephen made an immense impact on the public psyche in his short time.
Hopefully the limelight will stay on the good he has done now that he has left it

Never met him yet feel I know more about him than many of my friends.

Well done for not giving up and the fundraising to help others get a chance to beat the big C.

 

[Frutos]

Very sad news.

He achieved more in his short time on this Earth than most of us could dream of - maybe a hint to us all to live life to the fullest and count our blessings.

Echoing previous posters, this puts all our crap over the last few days into perspective.

 

[Nathan]

Very sad news. RIP.

 

[Seagulltonian]

RIP fella. Respect for what you achieved in your short life. I hope I can do something to help a fraction of the number of people that you have helped.

When you whinge about having a bad day, just think about this poor guy and many others going through life-limiting illnesses, and how they get on with it and how they enjoy what they have, it brings it home to you how there are people worse off than you in this world.

Very sad. What a very brave attitude he had. RIP.

 

[backson]

Sad for his family, but in a way very happy that his story has had such a positive effect on the general public. It restores your faith in human nature.

RIP Stephen.

Most of us can learn a great deal from Stephen - and I do mean this very sincerely - he was so very positive.

His passing just puts everything else into perspective

and also to quote 'Gritt23' above. Excuse forum slang at this time but "this"

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Incredibly sad but what an impact he made in the time he had.

Thanks to him there will be a noticeable difference in the way many others suffering through a similar situation are supported and looked after.

It's one hell of a legacy to leave behind and admirable on so many levels.

Despite the sad news his family can be incredibly proud of what he achieved, RIP
