Guest Danny Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Has anybody got onto virgin again yet? To be honest i think there have been a fair few songs on that have just made me think and bring tears straight to my eyes. The general feeling of people that i'm talking to is just devastation.

Guest Mark (for the last time) Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 I think the thing is, we've all been saying we should let DJ live on with us, and about how we always so positive and stuff, so I think we should start that now. It's hard, and I've even been crying after that bastard Steve's awesome post, but we should look at the positives, not just the negatives, like not seeing him again. Remember him as being the kick-ass guy that he was - always giving it his all, looking on the bright side and so on. So yeah, just think of all the great stuff and that's how you'll remember him. Don't have your thoughts of him muddled by the dark clouds we all feel under now. that's my piece... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tim Stedman Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Location: worcesterI am deeply saddened by the loss of such a great personality within the trials community. on the few times i rode with him, he seemed like such a cool guy, and a pretty damn good rider. Life throws up some harsh shit sometimes, but you never expect it to happen to someone you know. Rest In Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest (not feeling so)meanoldmartin Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 This is one of those moments that reminds you how easy it is to lose that which we hold dear. Deej was one of the most likable people I ever met. Had more than enough personality to make everyone around him feel good. My heart goes out not just to his family and Em, but to everyone sat in disbelief that something so horrible could happen to someone so good. Let Deej be an inspiration to us all, to do what you love doing as much as possible. Life is fragile, and can be snatched away at any time. I hope there is some almighty holy street to ride in heavan. RIP Deej, the sky is one star brighter tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grant Peters Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 I met Dj a couple of times and he was a really great guy, i am really sorry to hear that he has gone and regret that he didnt manage to come to london to ride with us, before this terrible event. All of London-trials send their deepest condolances to his family and friends and hope that the people responsible are caught soon. He was a real nice guy and will be sorely missed , rip deej...

Guest Ben Rowlands Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 I typed in a bunch of words several times but they never seem to convey enough. I don't think any words I come up with will ever say enough to how I feel. You were a great guy. A rarity. Interesting to talk to, interested in others, kind, understanding, friendly. I experienced there qualities from just being a riding buddy. I can't imagine how much you brought to the people in your everyday life. You have given me really good memories, like that day when you, me, Daryl and James rode swindon. James bent his forks which you made a video about. I don't remember much riding happening that day but I remember a lot of laughter. That day will always stick with me till the end along with the many other good memories I have with you. I will miss you, everyone that knew you will miss you. You are someone I will never forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eddie Fletcher (giptown) Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 My deepest, deepest condolences to friends and family.

Guest Tom Hemsley (tomturd) Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Didnt know what to say really for the first time. Ive been sitting here staring at the screen for hours now, and im sure thats not what you would want, so ill try my best to stop! You were a genuinly decent member, never said a bad word about anyone, and a real attribute to TF and the trials community in general. Im sure had I ever met you, I just know, you were one of the kinda guys not to pre-judge, and would make anyone feel comfortable in your presence, which is a true quality. It takes a special person to have such an effect on so many people who do not know you 'that well' - it just goes to show that any encounter you made with anyone, would be a memorable one. My deepest feelings are with your family, friends, and your girlfriend Em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Burrows Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Location: WorcesterI don't know what to say. I'm still in shock that such tragedy could happen to such a decent person. As for the poeple who did this, I can't believe somebody can be so stupid, and I hope they are brought to justice. I really hope they have a chance to see what they have taken away and how much DJ meant to so many people. We weren't close friends but I had tonnes of respect for this guy. He was so popular and everybody loved him. You couldn't help but love him, he was such a friendly and thoughtfull person. Like others have said I can't remember him ever argueing with somebody on the forum. He always had something good to say, and if somebody annoyed him he would never show it. He was always encouraging riders, and was an inspiration to all no matter what skill level. He always had time to help those with less ability. His life may have been cut short, but he lived it to the max. He had so much going for him but had already achieved so much. He had found things some people spend their whole lives looking for. I always looked up to him for that. I may have been at a similar level in riding, but he had so much more of the things that really matter in life. Love, friends, family and respect. He will be a constant reminder to me to never forget what really matters in life. I hope other people can realise this too. Cont.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Burrows Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Location: WorcesterI could go on forever but I don't think it would ever say enough. I think a big ride in Oxford would be great. Although reading through this thread the turn out could be pretty huge. I hope riders can take time out to remember him at this Sundays national as well. My thoughts go to his family and especially Em. From what he wrote about you I think he loved you more than anything in the world. I can't even begin to imagine how hard this is on you. I hope that in time you will be able to move on and enjoy life, I'm sure DJ would have wanted that. Long live FBM, and the memory of David Jones and all he achieved. Rest in peace DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
