Shane Langridge RIP - Welcome baby Amelia

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

Shane was only 39 years old and a life long Albion supporter and season ticket holder in the North stand alongside his brother Clint. Last Saturday ( July 6th ) out with his partner Naomi and her son Oliver, Shane complained of feeling light headed whilst driving them home, within seconds he collapsed and Naomi had to stop the car while in the passenger seat as they were heading up Viaduct road. Sadly despite the valliant efforts of passers-by and the paramedics that attended nothing could be done to save Shane. As devastating as the situation was, it was made worse by the fact that Shane would not get to see his first child that he and Naomi were expecting this week. As sad a time as it is, on Tuesday baby Amelia came into this world with not a care or worry but unwittingly she has created a lot of joyful, smiling faces among our family at this time. Shane, old son, you would be a very proud man and loving father and you leave behind a legacy that will be loved and cherished.

I've known Shane and Clint for over 20 years, shared many great times with them, both following Brighton and doing other things. Shane was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet, had time for everyone. It's tragic that he never got to see his daughter born but I know the rest of his family will let her know what a great guy her Dad was as she grows up. RIP Shane mate.

I'm expecting my first child in November and having recently been diagnosed with a congenital heart condition myself, this thread made me feel quite emotional.

So very sad, but I guess the little one will at least always have her very own guardian angel. RIP Shane.

RIP Shane...Clint is a good guy and his lad plays for our Under 11s. Sad and poignant story.

[Durlston]

That's one of the saddest things I've ever read on here. Thoughts with Shane's family at this very difficult time. I'm sure he's looking down from heaven and seen his little girl.

Rest In Peace, Shane.

To young so sad

While I don't know the blokes you mention this certainly struck a chord. We lost a good family friend aged just 34 earlier this year just a week and a half before his daughter was born. I can empathise a tiny bit with what you're going through and just wanted to say both RIP and congratulations.
