[Closed] Jahwomble. RIP

Blimey, he was on here just four days ago and seemed as good as anyone ever does around here.

RIP jahwomble. Your insight will be missed.
Condolences to everyone that knew him.

Condolences to his family. 🙁

Thats very, very sad. Condolencies to his familly.

Very shocking, many condolences to his family.

Very very sad. I hope he's in a better place now. RIP Jahwomble.

Condolences to his family.

RIP Jahwomble.Condolences to his family and friends.

Very sad, he always came across as a decent bloke on here - condolences to his family.

Sad news. RIP Jahwomble.

Not really sure what to say, or even if this is the right place to say it. Condolences to his family, and I hope he's found peace now.

I also don't know what to say. Awful news. Condolences to the family. 🙁

He seemed like a good guy, and I'll miss his comments. Sad he's chosen this path.

Condolences to his family; I hope they are coping.

Terrible news, my thoughts go out to his family and friends.

I quess there are some realities of life that you can't escape from on here.

I don't know what else to say 🙁

Well that's taken the shine off the week. Condolences to Liz, family and friends.

Sad news, RIP Jahwomble.

I've been thinking for a while about what to write. Jahwomble always seemed to typify the way that you can feel like you kind of know someone on here without having actually ever having met them. Always came across as a perceptive, intelligent and most importantly decent guy. Really sad news but I just hope that he's found some peace and that his family and friends are coping with the loss.

RIP, a sad time for everyone.

I loved how his character came out on here and he was candid about his life.

RIP.

Oh dear, that's very sad for all involved x

Very sad news, he will be much missed by all. My thoughts are with his family.

Great name, great posts, hope he is in a better place and his family and friends are coping.

Always very sad when something like this happens. I hope that he's at peace and that his family will eventually manage to cope with the situation.

RIP Jahwomble

RIP. thoughts are with his family.

He made me laugh only the other day.

This forum must have meant something to him, for his wife to tell someone to announce his passing on here. She must have felt he was part of the STW 'community'.

Because behind all the bickering and silliness, it [i]is[/i] a community. And a great one. And it's people like him who help make it that. It's such a terrible shame that he couldn't perhaps have felt more a part of that, and not so alone.

So let's show his memory respect, and let his passing be something that makes STW an even stronger community. No-one should feel alone.

Thoughts to all those that loved him. RIP, Jahwomble.

Well said Elfin.
RIP Jahwomble and condolences to your family

This is a sad day. 2nd death I've heard, bloke I worked with for the past 8 years died of cancer yesterday after a long battle.
🙁

Indeed, fantastically well put Fred

Terrible news!

Jahwomble, I hope that wherever you've ended up moving onto, that the weather is glorious, and the trails endless!

Very sad indeed, I can't add any more than what has been already said previously.

RIP jahwomble
🙁

Catch you on the flip side Jahwomble.

I'm speechless. RIP 😥

Holy cr4p that's terrible. We didn't exactly "get on" on here but I could tell he was quite a character.

Sincerest sympathies to all family and friends.

Gosh, that is a sobering update for a chilly Monday morning. All the best to his loved ones.

That's awful news, so tragic.
I'm very sorry to hear that.

I'd like to echo what MrNutt & Elfinsafety said.
I'm fairly new to this forum but already have a lot of respect & time for you all.
After I read this post, I re-read the recent thread "talk to me about your experience with depression"
It was amazing to see so many of us have had, or are in, a darkness.

So, please guys, let's not be shit at asking for help or saying 'I can't cope'
It's no disgrace or weakness to reach out.
We all have more than bikes in common so let's build a great community here.

My deepest condolence to Rays family.

On a slightly OT note- there isn't one person on here who I wouldn't have a drink with.

Online fight though? But of course 🙂

Very sad.

Very Brave man.

Hope your burden has been lifted from your shoulders sir! And happy trails!

Very sad.

Sincere condolences to family and friends.

That's shit 😥

Condolences to his family & friends

There's not much one can say that hasn't already been said, but my heartfelt sympathies go out to his family, and to all on here who knew him.

May he be at peace.

My condolences to his family & friends

Such very, very sad news.

RIP Jahwomble.

Terrible news - condolences to his family and friends.

RIP Jahwomble.
very sad news

That's terrible news, condolences to his family and friends.

RIP Jahwomble

Ugh. Didn't know him personally but always came across as a good bloke on here.

Ride In Peace dude.

It's never good to lose one of the tribe.

Sad day.

Should we go to the funeral?

Just as gutted now as I was when I read this yesterday. 🙁

If there is anything to take away from this its that we all have crosses to bare, don't keep things locked up inside. we shouldn't feel like we have no one to talk to or understand us. It doesn't matter if we don't understand so long as you are not thinking you are alone.

Death is never easy to comprehend and this case is no different.

Condolences to his family

RIP Jahwomble.

RIP

Guitar threads will never be the same again 😥

One of the atractions, and the reason I've been an almost daily returning visitor to this formum for way too many years, is its plethora of interesting, insightful, frustrating and challenging people.

Jahwonble was one of those people. Doubtless we saw only a snippet of the real him, but he showed a warmth and humanity and honestyu and openess that so many could learn from.

I do hope that, however hard it is now for his family, they remember the good and glroious things that made him who he was.

happy trails jahwomble

hope you find your peace.

RIP Jahwomble and condolences to his family and friends.

Rest in Peace Jahwomble

Is there anything practical we can do to help? How is the money situation, does anyone know?

Sad news, may God rest his soul and he find peace.

I don't know what to say, he came across as a nice bloke on here. I'm quite shocked really. Condolences and sympathy to his nearest and dearest. RIP 🙁

RIP Jahwomble - really sad news, condolences to your family.

Im in for a whip round . Even if its only for flowers or a bung behind the bar.

Sad, sad news for all who knew him on a personal and cycling forum level.

RIP Jahwomble. I will dedicate a few moments of my next ride to you.

Been struggling to know what to write. As someone who cares deeply about someone living with Manic Depression/Bipolar Disorder, this has touched me even though I didn't know Jahwomble personally.

I feel very much for his wife and family and hope they can learn to live well with the gaping hole this awful and much misunderstood mental illness has left in their lives by taking him away from them.
All my very best,
Jo

As has been said, really enjoyed Jahwomble's take on things. Hope his family find the strength to get through the next wee while and soon they'll remember the good times they shared. RIP.

Almost lost for words here.

I'm saddened to hear of his passing, and touched by the sentiment shown here.

For personal reasons that many on here know about me, this is all close to home.

Still lost for the words i want to say..

Sleep well Jahwomble. Be at peace and ride free.

Shane.

I, like many, have been struggling to find my words. As a fellow sufferer of bipolar disorder this tragic news has touched a [i]raw nerve[/i].

I didn't know Ray (Jahwomble) in person, nor do I believe had we exchanged any significant banter on the forum, but I always took a moment to read his posts. Secretly, and without him knowing, each time I took away a small amount of inspiration to help me fight my own daily demons.

RIP Jahwomble

Gary

Very sad news indeed.
Condolences to his family & all his friends.

Rest in Peace Jahwomble.

Never met you but the loss of a fellow brother is a sad loss. I hope you get peace from your demons now, sleep well mate.
Condolences to family and friends.
Paul

Rock in Peace Jahwomble.
May God give strength and courage to your family and friends.

Very sad news, don't really know what else to say.

Didn't know the bloke but he must have been in a place very few of us can comprehend.

Condolences to his family.

R.I.P.Jahwomble.

Just to let you all know, I have forwarded this link to Liz. I'm sure it will help her with all the support and considerate things people have said about Ray.

Andrea.
