Friends were there today and gave me the live link. A person I didn’t know but knew of through them.

A very emotional service. The club did well with its condolences and what they’ve done for the family. His mate read out about 25 tributes from Blues from past and present who knew him. It really was a lovely, lovely service.

It was mate. Very sad & hilarious at times. RIP Chris

Thought of nothing else all day. Infact when those two friends had posted an out his passing a few weeks ago, I couldn’t understand it then, although that’s just looking at his and his partners Facebook.

Everything looks easy from the outside. One can only wonder what people are going through to think that is the answer. More often than not, too, they are very much loved and popular people. As I say, I didn’t know the man but whatever it was that drove him to this, I hope he’s at peace. I also hope those he left behind can find peace and happiness going forward in their lives.

Great comments mate. It’s incredibly sad and hard to fathom from the outside looking in. An old friend of mine took his own life around the same time, as did an ex-work colleague as few months earlier. Both in their early 50’s. I didn’t know Chris but was touched by the comments I read on here and happily chipped in a few quid into the gofundme. It’s clear he was much-loved and respected and was given a good send-off. Rest in peace blue.

Totally agree and massively overlooked, because it’s male. If suicide amongst women was even as remotely high, there would be a national campaign promoting awareness and prevention of it. Men are completely overlooked, it’s a disgrace

Not getting help at 25 is the biggest mistake I’ve ever made. My behaviour was irrational and I suffered with constant negativity until I was 40.

Been sent some snaps of the wake. I don’t know who, or how they pulled it off, but OUR Champions League trophy made an appearance. The lads did it proud.
