So very sorry to hear this awful news. RIP Gary. Sympathy to Garys family and friends.
Very sorry for the family at this time .
Such a shame to see a husband and father leave this world in such a terrible way. I wish to express my sympathy to his family and friends having to go through this terrible time.
My heart goes out to the two poor bewildered boys you have left behind. You fool!
God bless them
How insensitive and ignorant – You fool!
THAT LAST COMMENT WAS SOLEY FOR ‘MATT’
Sorry to say, but Matt does have a point. Whatever the reason, however bad life gets people who take their own lives not thinking of the devestation they leave behind are the insentitive and ignorant ones. Matt may have spoken a bit too soon but alot of people would be thinking the same. I tried to put it a bit more diplomatically in my first post. Let us not get into the blame game here, a father and a husband has taken his life leaving many peoples lives and world upside down and that is very, very sad for all concerned.
Well put !!
usually when people commit suicide they have a kind of mental disorder, their minds go random and do not think clearly. You never know what exactly happens as long as don’t experience the situation. Gary possibly had a hidden issue, otherwise his gesture is totally unexplainable. Sad anyway, that’s life.
So sad, deepest sympathies to Gary Speeds friends and family from all at Huddersfield Town F.C.
