I'm not sure how many people knew Jerome on here, but I know he used to come on here often. So I thought I'd better let people know.
I got home from work today late, a **** day at work, got home, my wife and parents were here, they broke the news to me. Jerome was gone. I went to school with Jay, he was my best friend and like a brother to me. I'm actually breaking up as i write this.
My first reaction was just that of total shock, I just burst in to tears shaking. I had to go and see him regardless, and his mother / sister. I went around and I've spent the night there. I've just got home. I saw him in the garage, it was a very sad moment.
It looks like a tragic accident, and I can't get my head around it.
I don't know what else to say, I don't want to say too much about it, but if anyone wants to pass on a message to the family, please let me know, they really do need the suport at this time. He lived with his mother only in a house just around the corner from me.
When the funeral etc is sorted, I will pass on the details to those who knew him and want to attend, I'm sure his family will want his friends to be there.
If anyone has any contact information also for anyone else he knew, worked with, and spent time with please pass it on to me so I can let them know.
I don't think I will sleep tonight, it still seems like I'm going to talk to him tomorrow. He was house sitting for me all next week, I still feel like hes going to call me in a minute to chat about whats going on. I don't know what else to say, a tragic waste of life, my best friend I've known and shared all my life since junior school who I will sadly miss, and I don't think life will ever be the same again, he was like a brother to me.
He will be sadly missed, as I sat on the spot where he was found, I didn't want to leave, I wanted to stay with him, but now, thats it. RIP Jay, where ever you are buddy take care, we will meet again, but for now you will be missed.
Steve, tragic news mate, i am sure i can say on behalve of all us on here that our thoughts go out to you and jay's mum at this sorry time and that he will be missed by the community.
best wishes Mo.
We all have our problems, we moan and bitch at each other from time to time but it's things like this that make you think how inconsequential pretty much everything is, and how short life really can be!!
Whilst I didn't know the guy my thoughts and sympathies to all who did know him, especially his nearest and dearest!
So sorry to hear that.
A familiar name - as he has posted on here a fair bit.
Very sad news
Condolences from all of us. Our thoughts are with his family
Steve
So sorry to hear of your loss and i do know how your feeling right now.
Just 8 months ago i lost my best friend (My little brother) in a work accident he too was only 28.. I still think to this day that he will call me later and i will hear his funny laugh again But i know glynn is always looking out for me still from heaven just like we looked out for each on earth. I know he will have a pint and the racing post in his hand at the big gates when its my turn to go... My thoughts are with you and his loved ones...
Jay was a good good friend of mine from the westfield days. We've been friends for the last 6 years or so and finding out now of all times is real bad for me
Thanks for the comments all I will be printing off the posts from all of the forums and passing the entire threads on to his family to see the support that you are giving.
igratton are you Ian with the AE that was going to give him some drifting lessons, and the person he knew from buying his XTR2 etc?
If so I wanted to contact you but not having actually met you myself I didn't have any contact info and the police took his phone, so I don't have any numbers for his other friends
Please PM me if I've got the right person here, and I'm really sorry for those who had to find out this way, I just felt that I had to let people know.
For those who knew JAYPSC
But i know glynn is always looking out for me still from heaven just like we looked out for each on earth. I know he will have a pint and the racing post in his hand at the big gates when its my turn to go... My thoughts are with you and his loved ones...
