I suddenly lost someone 2 days ago - a loving father and husband, a talented cricketer, and a great friend, taken far too young at the age of 35.

Still numb, still in shock - a week ago we were drinking champagne and celebrating my birthday, a few days from now I will be at his funeral.

I cannot even comprehend what his family are going through.

Heart attack apparently, or something very similar. Worked 7 days a week, and was back and forth to hospital with his baby girl who has some health complications - on reflection he did seem very stressed last time I saw him. Haven't lost a friend since college days when they all started crashing down corninsh lanes in stbox hatchbacks 16 years ago frown

Feck.

We had a chap here keel over and die a few weeks ago.

He was 40, just split from his wife, heavy smoker/drinker, lots of stress.

It's made me worried as I do stress quite badly.

I was fit, a non smoker and only a social drinker but I still had a heart attack. Doc said it was stress.

Take care people.

Exactly - have already made a conscious effort not to get stressed with work, and will be booking a nice long Christmas holiday.

Am getting the rest of our cricket team together on Sunday for a wake and to put some money together for the family.

One of the most generous, likable and friendliest guys I ever met.

I can see an early visit to the pub happening today!

Sorry to hear that. Terrible news at any age, let alone so young.

Get the team together as you said and celebrate his life.
