[Closed] Jahwomble. RIP

That's awful news for his family. I never knew Ray but my thoughts are with you all at this devastating time.

As someone who has lost a brother with mental illness and suicide my heart goes out to you all. As a GP I find it unimaginable that people can sink to such depths of despair that the only option is to take your own life. I hop he is at peace now.

Rereading this it just all seems surreal. RIP

RIP. Must have been in a really tough place 🙁

Very sad news. Our condolences to the family and friends.

Mike

RIP

🙁

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

RIP Jahwomble

Very sad news indeed. Thoughts to his family and friends. Rest in Peace.

Best wishes to the family - sounds trite but meant.

Poor fella.

This tragedy and several others I have encountered has made me realise just how awful depression must be to takes ones own life especially knowing you are leaving loved ones behind

Like many others I have in the past dismissed sufferers as needing a kick up the arse. This has brought it home again that it really is a very serious illness that needs far more understanding and research undertaken into the causes and treatment

RIP and may it enlighten others to the possible tragic consequences

I saw this the other day & didn't really see the benefit of adding another condolence to the list.
I didn't know Jahwomble, but have seen his posts frequently on here.

I just realised though that even though I don't have particularly eloquent to say/write, it is something respectful that I should do....

It's times like this that make you take stock of things.
My sincere condolences to Jahwomble's family & friends.
I feel a Mint Sauce-esque cartoon based on Mother Nature, rolling fields, blue skies & fluffy clouds would be appropriate......
Strange thing, the internet.........

RIP Jahwomble.

Condolences to his family.

Never knew him but never the less my condolences to all involved. Terribly sad.

stumpy, this seemed nice

:o(

RIP Ray. This bought back some bad memories from earlier on this year when an old school friend of mine ended his life without leaving any clues as to why. Very sad news, and deepest sympathies go out to all his family and friends.

Sad news. A reality/perspective checker.

RIP Jahwomble. Hope you're now at peace and enjoying some sweet trails in the sky.

Sad news. My thoughts and prayers are with all those connected, friends, family, whoever. Sad news.

therealhoops - yep, something like that.....

never knew him but my sympathies go out to the people who did, hopefully he's riding some sweet singletrack somewhere

Absolutely terrible news. So sad to hear that. Condolences to family and friends.

There but for the grace of god.....

Very sad news. RIP.

He only posted a few days ago. Best wishes to his family and close friends. Puts some perspective into your life.

I keep coming back to this thread & find i have nothing to add that doesn't sound trite.

I would like to add my condolences to to his family & friends.

2 things.

1/ is there anything practical we can do, a collection for a wreath maybe?

2/ Let's leave the discussion about depression for another time.

Only knew the name from here but it is clear he was the light of so many peoples lives. Condolences to his family at this sad time..

How about a bench and a plaque on/ near his favourite trail?

Rest in peace jahwomble

Condolences to Liz and family

Blimey! What a shame to read this post. My thoughts are with his family and if we can do anything as a collective, then I am in.
Such a lot of you have helped me in my darkest times not so long ago and I thank you for that. A shame that we couldn't have helped Jahwomble the same way.
RIP 😥

RIP Jahwomble

Condolences to his family & friends

RIP Jahwomble

Hope you are riding on a higher plain

Oh no!
He was one of my favourites, always had an amazing sense of humour and very humourous.

He lived very near us and I always thought that one day I'd bump into him on the trails.

All my thoughts to his wife and family at this sad time.

This is terrible news. The forum has lost one of its very best posters.

All the best fella. And I hope those left behind will find a way to deal with such a terrible loss.

🙁

so sad. r.i.p 🙁

I read this post after reading on another post that he'd made so many people laugh. What a terrible shame. My heart bleeds for his family x

I read this when it was first posted and only had two or three replies. AT the time I was staggered and didn't feel I could write anything that would adequately describe what I felt. Several days on, I still can't. I like Jahwomble, he seemed like a decent bloke and I think it's a crying shame - quite literally, my missus was bawling her eyes out when she heard, and I was close. RIP, fella.

Rest in peace. Thoughts and condolences to his family.

My condolences to all jahwombles family and friends, I lost a brother in law in similar circumstances and know what it can do to a family. Remember the good times.

Just reading back over some of his posts - definitely one of the good guys.

condolences to all family and friends, never new him but enjoyed his input to the forum

bit gutted i never met him, but we had a fair few chats about music and bikes.

A very sad loss, condolences to his family.

Sometimes words just aren't enough so I wasn't going to say anything.
But sometimes you have to say something, even when you don't know what to say.

condolences to family and friends - he always came across on here as a top bloke and will be missed.

Really sad for everyone who knew him.

I miss my mum even more now 🙁

thats awful news - seemed a lovely guy and great to deal with re classifieds - all my sympathy to his family

paul

really sorry to hear this. 🙁

words are difficult but sleep peacefully brother

So sad so tragic , thoughts go out to his wife and family.

I hope your at peace fella.

Rip fella. Top bloke who was clearly held in high regard.
This all brings back sad memories.
As previously mentioned if we can sort out a collection I'm sure nearly everyone on here would contribute. Things are going to be difficult for the family. I'm sure we can help in some way.

Tragic news and a sad loss of a well liked and respected character.

My thoughts are with his Family and friends. RIP.

RIP 🙁

Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

my condolences
as above anything we can do, im in

Sad to hear of Jahwomble's demise, he was clearly much liked.

May I add my sincere condolences to his loved and loving ones.

RIP

Sad News 🙁

Absolutely gutted i didnt know anything about this till now, somehow i missed it, so sad for his family, wife and freinds in life and on here.

Please anyone else in the same situation ask for help or just talk, look at Horas thread, we will listen and help.

So sad ,RIP good man.

Very sorry to hear this. Very sad news.

Sad sad sad news love to his family and everyone else who has been upset by this news. I hope he has found peace now. RIP

Wow, I wasn't expecting this. What aweful news. RIP Jahwomble - you'll be missed.

Sad news, RIP sir.

Words are inadequate, I hate learning that someones life was so hard for them to bare, that the only way out that they see, is to end it all.

I hope that you find peace and that your friends and family find the strength they need to get through this difficult time.

I can't begin to imagine how hard this must be for all those left behind.

Everyone reading this who is in a dark place. Hang in there with every bit of strength you can muster.

Every time one of us is lost, it's makes it so much harder for the rest of us to continue.

Farewell.

RIP. 😐

just logged on for the first time in a week and read this very sad news. this has reminded me of a friend and club rider, Tim, who also rode the same path, which was very saddening.
may peace be with you, jahwomble and let your family and friends have strength in this dark hour.
FG

What a cruel tragedy. Good luck to him and I pray that his friends and family are coping with it. My thoughts are with you, wishing you well.

What can we all do to make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen so often? We all do our best, but this sort of thing just keeps occurring. Its beyond individuals to sort this out. I'll speak to my contacts in the NHS to see what can be done and post it up on the forum.

RIP Jahwomble. I bet you were a great guy, who just had a bit of bad luck.

Sad, sad news

I Hope you have found your peace

Thoughts are with his loved ones.

🙁

So sad.

My thoughts go out to all his many frends and family.

🙁

Such sad news, RIP

Very sad - RIP 😥

RIP MTB brother 🙁

Hope you have found your peace.

Jeez, been a while off air!

Sympathies to all RIP

Go easy big man 🙁

My condolences - very sad

RIP

Very sad, my heart goes out to those he left, my deepest sympathy.

RIP Jahwomble and peace and strength to family and friends.

Awful news.

Thoughts with friends and family. 🙁

RIP 😥

Just come back online after having two weeks holidays, what a shock, great poster on here enjoyed his words, hope he is at peace now and my condolences to his family.

What a trajic waste of a life! 🙁

There is a deep rooted social stigma around those who suffer deep emotional problems, like they have lost their minds or something, but this is so far from the truth! If only people would wake up a realise there is nothing to be afraid of and start supporting each other more. The stigma is so strong that the sufferer often keeps tight lipped, suffering in silence and in isolation (even with people around them). Unfortunately the pressure builds and then the worst can and does happen, possibly in the case of poor Jahwomble. It just makes me very sad! Poor guy! 🙁 I would have chatted with him to try and help him through these troubles if i'd only known. If you are feeling really anxious, don't bottle it!

I suppose the lesson here is that we all need to extend a little more sensitivity and compassion to each other, even to those we don't think need any. This makes me want to be a better person and to be more concious of my shortcomings - very humbling!

The relatives and close friends will feel the pain of this avoidable, but huge loss, long after we have forgotten about it. It is a particularly cruel and callous scenario for them - further affirmation for me that any all seeing all knowing god does not exist. Well a compassionate god, if he/she did exist, would never allow this sort of injustice, right?

I hope for the family that the intense pain felt in these early days abates as soon as possible and that they will eventually come to enjoy true happiness again, sometime in the not too distant future. I also hope that some positives come out of this tragedy.

RIP Jahwomble - one of the good guys!

Yep I've been off for a week to read this tragic news - I always enjoyed his posts. I can't add much more than has been said already. 🙁

been off line for a week or so first time back and this news sucks big time RIP 🙁

Only just seen this . Sad news . RIP

I feel so sad for him and the family left behind. RIP

sad news.....

as above, condolences to all those concerned.
