Liz, Ray's wife has asked me to let you know that Ray took his own life on Saturday. He got a lot of enjoyment and made a lot of friends on this forum and she thought that you all should know why he's gone. Sorry to be the bearer of such bad news.
Andrea.
Terrible news. Deepest sympathies to Liz and the family.

**** man, the middle ground could have been found. RIP. Thoughts with your family.
Very sad news, im really sorry to hear this, my thoughts go out to all who loved him.
RIP Jahwomble 🙁
Bugger, that's awful. He was such a nice bloke 🙁

**** me that's awful. thoughts to all who loved him.
Sad to hear this
Condolences 🙁
Last posted a handful of days ago too 🙁
How awful. I'm so sorry to hear that. My sympathy for his family and friends.
He had a great forum name, always made me smile.
RIP.
How very thoughtful of his wife to ask you to post, esp at such a difficult time for her. Please thank her for her consideration.
Perhaps when someone loved passes away it is best to remember that they are completely safe now and nothing can ever hurt or frighten them again. Its how I like to think of loved ones I have lost. Somewhere protected, where I can think of them with love.
Terrible news, I have lost a couple of mates the same way. My sympathies go out to his nearest and dearest.
someone said above...........he was a very nice bloke too.
shocked.
Sincere condolences to the poor, poor family.
Truly sorry to hear this. Strength to his family and friends.
He seemed like a really nice bloke from his very entertaining posts on here, and had the envy and respect of loads of us on here in him making guitars for a job.
What a tragedy. 😥
Very very sorry!
I enjoyed his posts on here too.
Shit, sad news and condolences to friends and family. 😥
Terrible news 🙁
Condolences to all friends & family
"I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over."
Grim news, seemed like a really decent sort, guess he's now been let in on the big secret.
very thoughtful of his wife to ask you to post
I totally agree. I was thinking of him only yesterday when I said to Junkyard [i]"My knowledge of Marx is very far from great (I'm sure many on here have a much better knowledge)"[/i] Jahwomble was the person who came straight into my mind - he had read Das Capital. That, and all the other stuff he posted on here, made him a genius as far as I'm concerned. Very very clever man. And I will really miss him, although I know he will no longer feel the pain he felt. RIP Jahwomble 🙁
Blimey, what a shame.
He must have been in a very bad place 🙁
That is such sad, sad news and reading that sent a jolt through me. Please pass on my regards to his family and I hope that they may get some small comfort from the fact that he was obviously well liked on here.
RIP Jahwomble.
Shit thats not good 🙁 Hope he lives on in all the guitars he made. RIP buddy.
****'in ell always enjoyed his take on life, it was individual people like him who make life less grey - did'nt know him personally but sad to hear of his passing.
Never know what to say in such circumstances, RIP Jahwomble.
Oh my, I had a lump in my throat the second I opened the thread expecting some sort of wind up & realised it wasn't.
Deepest sympathies to all effected, life is precious.
Deepest sympathies to all that know him.
I've often read his posts and threads - will be missed.
🙁
a sad day on STW
sorry to hear this,never knew him but his posts always raised a smile
I am so saddened and shocked by this news.
He was one of the "good" people on here.
Passionate about his guitars and his job.
I cannot begin to imagine what his wife is going through.
FCx
My heart just sank then - tragic news
My thoughts are with all his family /friends at this difficult time
Very considerate of his wife to think of us
So sorry to hear this. He will be missed. Condolences to his family.
Surfer
Sad news indeed. Condolences to his family and friends.
Stand down Jahwomble.
Deepest sympathy going out to all those who knew and loved him.
Really sad news. Thoughts to the family and friends.
I hope he's somewhere riding some sweet endless trails with a massive grin on his face.
We've just lost a family member through suicide and I can't even come to terms with what goes through someone's head to contemplate such an act.
All I do know is that it's a tragic end to a life and my thoughts and sympathies go out to Jahwombles family.....
Im really sorry to hear this, he was a good bloke.
Only knew him through here, but feel the loss even so.
Condolences, which is a crappy way of wishing his family the strength and will to get through.
Can we help in any small way?
I'm struggling to express my sadness.
R.I.P. Jahwomble.
[i]Can we help in any small way?[/i] seconded.
I am really shocked and sorry to hear this news. I have a tear in my eye and lump in my throat as I write this. I didn't know the guy, but as above, I really enjoyed his posts. My deepest sympathy goes out to his wife and family in this difficult time.
So sad to read this. Been in some pretty bad states of mind myself, you always think you're the only one. Poor bloke.
I didn't know Jahwomble, but my thoughts are with his family and friends.
Such a terrible thing to happen.
Rest in peace Jahwomble.
Very sad news. 🙁
RIP Jahwomble
Never met the guy but you feel like you know someone from their posts - he always seemed a good guy. RIP.
Awful news, my condolences to all his family and friends.
very sad news, hope the family are coping
Not an attempt at emotional blackmail, but could he have a small, gentle, obituary style thing in the mag?
Just a few words to say he's missed?
R.I.P Jahwomble. 🙁
Only knew him through his posts but sad to hear this news. 🙁
Thoughts go out to friends and family.
Ride the singletrack in the sky Jahwomble
RIP
much like many others, i never knew him other than his posts on here and he was definitely one of the good guys. hopefully he's at peace now.
condolences to his family and friends; RIP mate.
RIP. Very very sad news.
Thoughts to his loved ones left behind.
Sad to read this. Best wishes to his family.
So sorry to read this tragic news, so sad. Condolences to the family.
Claire
I didn't know him personally, but from what I saw on the forum he was a nice guy. It's such a sad situation, and I guess we can't understand what he was going through, but he'll be much missed.
Such sad news. Hopefully he will now be in a peaceful place.
Thoughts are with his family.
I am both shocked and, well seriously upset, no **** it heartbroken. I always enjoyed his contributions and he will be very much missed.
As one who struggles with life, i can understand, possibly, but i wish to god he had talked to someone unconnected with his immediate situation prior to going. Christ. I'm so sorry for your loss.
if there is anything I can do to help please think nothing of asking me, he was a friend if only be it by proxy, i wish I could have done more.
If the family would like someone to do a reading, (other than family)I'll make myself available.
If anyone else is reading this and feels it is too much, I'm no Samaritan but can be there to talk to if you think you have no one, I know low, trust me on that one, please don't take the same path, talk to someone, even if is the last thing your gonna do, please. drop me a mail, its it my profile, i'll give you my number.
Jajwomble RIP, you left some friends behind.
As so many others have already said, I didn't know Jahwomble at all but have often smiled at his posts on here and liked his take on things. Funny how you feel an attachment to complete strangers on the internet, I suppose it's because at the end of the day, despite the fact that some on here have their differences of opinions, we all share a love for a common interest.
My sincerest condolencies to all of Jahwomble's friends and loved ones. May he find peace.
Sincere condolences, that really took my breath away.
Very very sad news.
Terrible news - I can't even begin to imagine what he was going through.
My condolences to the family.
Rachel
gosh this is sad to hear.
my deepest sympathies to his family and friends,a sad day for stw. 😥
Sad, sad news, didn't know the fella apart from on here.
Hope that Liz and the family can gain something from the love STW has for one of our own. RIP Jahwomble 😥
