I'm shocked, stunned and saddened by the news. My wife, Judo and I only met Brixton for the first time last Sunday, and he came across as an extremely decent chap and thoroughly knowledgable about Rangers and football. RIP and condolences to his family. We've all lost a fellow Ranger, may he rest in peace.
Such tragic news. I only had dealings with Brix through the mod board and via pms. He always struck me as a straightforward, upright and honest person. My condolences to the whole family, and the QPR board, who, I am sure, Brix would have seen as his family. RIP
Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die. BrixtonR. RIP
Wow. I am speechless. When I and a few others started on this board Brix made us all feel very welcome and throughout the past year since I have been on here he came across as a very level headed, fair, and passionate person. It was only on Sunday that I was able to meet him for the first time, and as Beth said, he made you feel like you had known him for a long time right from the first handshake. Cannot believe this, such sad news, and after he seemed bubbly and fit on Sunday. What a loss not only to this board, but to his family and friends. It was a pleasure to have met you Brix. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP Brix (David). A truly nice bloke.
I didn't know him, haven't ever met him yet i find myself feeling like I've lost a friend today. I know its only an internet forum but it will never be the same again! Condolences to his family R.I.P Brix
Stunned. Everything about Brix has already been said. Condolences to his family and close friends. R.I.P Brix
This has blown me away. We have consoled each other and paid respects to each other many times on here when something like this has happened in one of our lives, but we've never dealt with losing one of ours. I haven't lost many people in my life, my grandparents are gone now and my wife's dad died 3 years ago. That was traumatic and life changing. He was adored by his 4 daughters and pretty much everyone who ever met him. I spend much of my life making decisions based on what he would think if he were looking down on me. Brix's passing has knocked me for 6. It's hard to put into words how someone you've never met can have such an effect on you. It's hard to explain how you can consider someone who you don't know and who's face you've never knowingly seen to be a mate, but that's how it felt to me. Brix was a mate. I have no doubt that he was also an exceptional dad, husband and man in every avenue of his life, who loved his family and our team. I gather from what I've read that he was unwell and this wasn't unexpected. I wish I'd taken an opportunity to get to the pub, just once, to shake his hand and put a face to the name.
Sorry to hear of your loss ... I hope all his friends on here and elsewhere take great comfort from all the lovely messages that have been left ... I have never heard of or communicated with Brix but it is clear from all the lovely things said by so many on here that he was a good man who will be remembered by many ... It's great to see how he touched so many by being kind. I hope you all take care and can soon think about him with a smile on your faces and not feel pain.
Very well put, excactly the way I've experienced him. Nines, that is heartbreaking. Good girls you have mate. Says a lot of the man the way he affects everybody, this day has been extremely sad since the news broke. The lump in my throat wont go away. And that just pushed me over the edge, brought a tear to my eye that Staines.
genuinely shocked and saddened by his passing. brix was one of the main men behind the irishRs meet up. when I suggested it he was all for it. he even posted a long history about the Irish connection to the club. I briefly met him in November when we were over. a nicer bloke you couldn't meet. loftus rd will a sadder place with his absence. Ar dheis de go raibh a anam.
I've just followed the link from the Norwich board, this is such sad news. I don't post much but I do read a lot on many boards and BrixtonR was always a good read. I'd just like to add my condolences alongside others from off the QPR board.
Really very sad to read this news. I can't add anything more to the excellent tributes that have already been written. Many condolences to the family and Brixton is in my thoughts.
