Fundraiser Stephen Sutton dies

[ASC1951]

Now there is someone who approached his death in the best possible way. A sad loss of a clearly remarkable young man.

Maybe the people who began to question his illness and label him a lier, can hang their heads in shame ... RIP young man ... rather than show a sad face I guess a round of applause is more suited to this remarkable young man

I'd never actually heard of the dude before today. A real shame to be taken so young, what an amazingly selfless way to spend your years.

I have the utmost respect for such a brave young man, however I can't help feeling there was some 'bandwagon' jumping from a few people, sorry to be negative but that is how some people came across.

RIP Stephen. Heaven has 1 heck of an angel

There are victims and fighters.

This remarkable young man challenged his illness, made it into something positive and others have benefited

He has my respect, and to lose such a remarkable young man must be painful for his family

People reacted in the same way to Jane Tomlinson, she had terminal cancer but chose to run and cycle to raise money. Some thought she was 'putting it on' because they didn't believe she could do what she did if she really was ill, both she and Stephen were fighters who selflessly gave up their precious time to help others despite being ill themselves. Cheers

Exceptional young person...I've followed his story for a few months.
Even though I knew from his family's post yesterday, that Stephen didn't have very long left, I was so sad to read that he had died.
I hope they can take comfort in knowing what an absolutely beautiful soul they raised.

I've followed his posts for a wee while. So sad to hear that he's died. I know it was inevitable but still, I was saddened by his passing.

RIP Stephen, you were a shining star.
