TDM Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 That's really terrible. I read about it yesterday on another forum but I had no idea he was a member on here, which really brings it closer to home. Quote
timloudon Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Very sad news. I echo the sentiments of everyone. Quote
skankdelvar Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 My condolences to you, his family and friends. God, life sucks sometimes. Quote
waynepunkdude Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 I guess we can take heart that he had achieved his dream and was on top of the world, absolute tragedy. Can't stop thinking about this. Quote

EdwardHimself Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 [quote name='Happy Jack' post='721516' date='Jan 22 2010, 06:44 PM']I am desperately sorry to have to tell you that tjkennelly has just died. Tim had achieved his life's ambition, to go on tour with a metal band. His band (their name is now quite appalling - [i]After Death[/i]) had reached Brazil and went swimming yesterday on a day off. One of the guitarists got into difficulty in heavy surf and Tim tried to go to his aid. They both drowned. Tim was 18 and a good friend of my daughter's. He spent many hours playing my basses (and drooling over them) and it was me who introduced him to Basschat. He was a really lovely guy and I thought of him as a friend and fellow musician, rather than as one of my daughter's mates. Tim came from a background that was far from privileged. His performance in school was impressive and he would have gone to university in the autumn. What he achieved in his short life was down to his native intelligence, his dedication, and his excellent sense of humour. I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am to be writing this. I will really miss Tim. Jack[/quote] wow, that's tragic. I think one thing though is that it sounds like he's lived more in 18 years than many people who grow to an old age. Having said that, it also sounds like he had a hell of a lot more living left to do. Very sorry to hear it mate. It's always very hard to deal with when a family member or friend just dies so suddenly like this, but just try to remember that really you were lucky to have even known him. Quote

MythSte Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Im another guy who's on top of the world with my music right now and off to uni in September. Really do feel like someone's just removed everything holding my heart up. Sincerest condolences. Quote
XB26354 Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Very sorry to hear this, my condolences to the family. Any musician lost makes the world a duller place. Quote
Thunderthumbs Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Bloody hell, that's tragic. Such a sad loss at such a young age. Heartfelt condolences to all his family & friends. Quote

TimR Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Very sad news indeed. As if things couldn't be any worse, on BBC London yesterday his father was interviewed saying they had no travel insurance and they are looking at bill for £10,000+ each to repatriate to the UK. That's just terrible. Quote

farmer61 Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Very very sad news. Makes you stop and think to start to count your own blessings....... Quote
Low End Bee Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Just caught this thread. Really sad news. 18 is no age at all. Quote

Utterly, utterly devastating news. I'm in shock and almost in tears here... My own teenagers play guitars and want to tour the world with bands when they get a bit older. Christ. Tim should have been doing this - living his dream - for years to come. It's so sad and so unfair. Might I suggest that people help in a small way by donating or buying a copy of their CD by following the above link... Terrible tragedy. RIP. Quote
waynepunkdude Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) Just sorted out an article with a link to the album on this site [url="http://www.emotionallyfourteen.com/"]http://www.emotionallyfourteen.com/[/url] Should be up on the weekend. Edited January 28, 2010 by waynepunkdude Quote
