I know there’s a good few of you on here who knew Keith either in person or “virtually” through this forum. Including one or two of you who went to see him in hospital (and I hope you read this because that meant so much to him).

I thought those who knew him would want to know that Keith passed away this morning (aged 35) after a mammoth and courageous battle with blood cancer.

How awful. Can’t say I remember the name but condolences to you, his friends and his family.

I’m with Bregante here. I can’t recall his name, but deepest condolences to you, and whomever he left behind.

Eternal memory.

29erKeith from Hampshire who used to update with his progress? So sorry to hear this, that’s rubbish. Thoughts to his family and friends.

I remember him and his updates – for some reason I thought he was winning the battle, so reading that really was a shock.

Not much to say other than yes, I remember him. Really sad stuff.

Ride in Peace Keith

Thoughts to his friends and family

sad news – thoughts to those who loved him

like bear, I thought he was on the up after a BMT

He was in initial remission after his bone marrow transplant but the cancer returned even more aggressively. The docs couldn’t do anything more so he was allowed home to spend a few weeks with his wife and 3yr old lad. He was re-admitted to hospital this morning and died shortly afterwards.

Thank you everyone for your kind words.

that’s real rotten luck and very sad for his family RIP mr.

Deep condolences to you, his friends and his family.

I never knew Keith except through his posts on here and particularly his posts regarding his cancer battle. They make terribly poignant reading now and my heart goes out to his family, especially with my children being a similar age. So sad. 🙁

35 is far too young.
Thoughts go out to wife and son , family and friends.
I probably met him at Newforce or the BBB maybe.
RIP Keith

(aged 35)

****. Condolences to his family and friends. I remember the username, from:

Bugger, RIP Keith, too many too young…. 😥

3 year old lad ffs.

Bongo thanks for sharing those threads. I’d not seen them before. Sort of made me re-live the last 18 months which in a weird way has helped. It’s so hard to accept he’s gone.

That news just sucks, condolences to his family and friends.
Nest time I’m out riding I’ll spare a thought for him and the others we’ve lost:(.

I visited Keith when he was an in-patient at Southampton General and just starting out on his fight; we talked about many things, from mini’s through to whether he could fit a turbo trainer into his tiny room. He had a real steel about him. A lovely, thoughtful and kind fella, and his son was the light of his life. I hadn’t heard from him in a while, but I’m truly saddened at his passing.

Best wishes to all his family and friends.

RIP. Condolences to friends and family.
.
**** cancer.

Ride on Keith. Condolences to his family and friends.

very sad .

That’s really sad news.

Sad, sad news, RIP Keith.

Very sad indeed. I ran with Keith in the 2014 Three Peaks Yacht Race, he was not well at that time but did not know till later that year that it was leukaemia. Very sorry to hear this news, thoughts with his family + friends.

I remember Keith’s posts, his attitude and determination was an inspiration. I’m only happy he got to go home and spend time with his wife and little lad. I’m sure he’ll remember his Dad as a real super hero amongst all the fakes. Getting a bit dusty in here now as well, bloody dry weather!

Very sad, and with a young family as well. Very sad indeed. Makes you realise.

Very sorry to hear of the this very sad news.

Whilst this message may never get to the family, I do wish them all the very best for their futures.

Gutted. Always seemed like a top bloke on here.

Thoughts and condolences to his friends and particularly his wife and youngster.

Bastard bastard disease.

Very sad, that is no age to go. RIP 🙁

Bullheart thank you for gong to see him. He was so made up about that and didn’t stop talking about it for weeks. It’s things like that which made a huge difference to him as he fought against what ultimately was an incredibly aggressive illness.

Larry – things like the three peaks were what Keith lived for. I remember him going up your way one weekend for a training run and when he got back he was so excited about the race.

So sorry to hear this, I read his hospital posts and he seemed to be winning.

Thoughts with his family and friends.
