RIP Jonah

[Pride of Lions]

I've woke up this morning, logged on to find this very sad news.

Never met Jonah, but I could feel he was a true villan with a sense of humour (you have to, to be a Villa supporter).

Rest In Peace Jonah. Sadly missed.

Thanks for that Trekker, lovely picture mate.

Sorry it’s blurred. Mrs T took it.....

It's sad to lose a mate. Condolences to his family and friends. A loss to the Vital community and all who were close to him. R.I.P.

 

[Stephen Jay Hawkings]

Terribly sorry lads for the loss of your friend, I didn't know Jonah very well but I do remember him being around the forum.

RIP

Thank you Jonah, it was because of you I gave up smoking after you started your "I've given up smoking thread" that was nearly 12 years ago now.
I was shocked however to find that at the vital meet at the Holte you popped out for a crafty fag, I know this because Trekker told me so

Thoughts with the family HEITS his avatar for many many years was a little bloke tapping his foot...... I always thought it was a brilliant likeness.

Oh no just seen this thread, what terrible news. Jonah was a titan on here, fun to spar with occasionally, and have a laugh with. I wish his family well, and I will have a little drink in honour of Jonah. RIP.

 

[Trekker]

I spoke with the family again today. They are bowled over by the outpouring of love and the regard Jonah was held in.
Thank you.

Hi everyone

Thanks for your messages. Dad loved Vital and as everyone knows he was a daily contributor and even a mod on here for years. He (and me too) made a fair few friends through this website.

Your kind words mean a lot. Thank you all!

Have only just seen this news, very very sad. Met with Jonah and the other lads from here on a regular basis at the footy. Jonah made me laugh, really decent bloke. Such a shame, i have no words left.

May you rest in paradise.

Thoughts go out to Young Jonah, your sister Rachel and the rest of your family at this difficult time.

Also my thoughts go out to Trekker who was close to Jonah, and also his online friends through Vital Villa.

You'll be missed Colin x

 

[The Fear]

Good to hear from you YJ, you've been in my thoughts mate.

Trekker, is there an online book of condolence? I hope, broadband permitting, to join the funeral.

I’m not aware of the book but will check John.
