So so sad, death by suicide is just all to common these days.

Chris rebuild my carbs and was so helpful and had some much knowledge of our old cars, the world is a smaller place without him.

My condolences to his family, RIP.

Very sad news. Suicide rates are appalling – a sad indictment of the state of mental health care and support in the UK right now. RIP Chris.

Really sad news, Chris was a super knowledgeable guy and always had time to give advise on things. I know he suffered with his health for a long time but horrible that it came to this. RIP Chris.

That's terrible news.

I definitely won't be the only one to have spent many hours listening to his stories and knowledge when I'd only popped in for 10 minutes!

So sad for his family and friends. What a loss. As others said suicide doesn't get the same press as the heart, cancer or other things but is a big issue in men of a certain age.

RIP Chris
