Ashbandicoot - sad news :(

[GazHyde]

Hi all,

I just received a message from Ash's girlfriend Amanda to let us know that Ash passed away on Monday. I don't have any more details other than that, and I'm utterly shocked by the news.

Ash was a lovely guy who I know a lot on here knew very well, and he was a true Zed enthusiast.

Rest in peace Ash

Gary

What a tragedy and what a shock! It's just as well we don't know what's ahead of us for the most part of life.

Was looking for a photo so people could put a face to the name. Found this one taken at Silverstone last year on BMBabe's cruise, and it's not the best obviously as you can't see his face. Ash was trying to sneak past as I took a photo, but that's his Zed on the grid in the distance as well (R40 ASH).

This ones a bit better - 8th from the left in the blue hoody with white strings.

He wasn't very old either?

So so sad

He wasn't very old either?

24 which is literally no age at all.

We had a death in our family on Monday a young man who was only 30. Very sad loss of a young life.

Tony.

I'm sitting in the service truck in complete shock with tears flowing onto my t-shirt at receiving this news. Ash had been a perfect gentleman throughout our friendship and has contributed many, many parts which I needed for my projects always at no cost to me other than postage. As well I have done much research for him on his car project and sourced many parts for him out of the USA, mostly through eBay.com and he called me his eBay Guru because no matter how hard he searched I always found what he needed at far less money. He was always funny and supportive when I had problems with my PTSD and always found a way to make me laugh and smile. I am going to miss his friendship and can only hope he realized what a remarkable young man I thought he was! Rest in peace my friend and my sincerest condolences to Amanda and all Ash's family and friends in this trying time. You were one in a billion Ash!! Your friend, JIM

So sorry to here this news. Me and @jue1 met him and Amanda at Stacey and Roys cruise. Really shocked. He'd just booked his meal for my cruise in August. Not really sure what else to say. Our thoughts are with Amanda and all his family.

I'm truly lost for words.

Ash was and will always remain a true gent. I thoroughly enjoyed what brief time I spent in his company on a couple of cruises, and loved his random facebook messages containing parts in German Classifieds that he thought I would like.

On Monday we lost a goodun.
Rest Peacefully Ash, I'm sure you're now driving the 74th RHD S54 up there!
