Adrian passes away

Please accept my deepest condolences.
Adrian was a true trailblazer and I picture him roaring off into to the sunset, in a blaze of glory.
You Sudburys must be so proud!

Tragic, tragic news. Hope you rest in peace mate and that people are inspired by and carry on the good work you've started.

Rest in peace Adrian xxx

Adrian had hinted as much that he was spending his last few days with his family so this didn't come as a shock, only unwelcome news as we all hoped he would have a little more time.

Even though Adrian was only 26 he has campaigned for more information about bone marrow donors to be given to 6th formers and leaves us with the task of carrying it on in his memory.

To Adrian's family my commiserations, his endless humour and charm made him someone special and he won't be forgotten, nor will his endeavours.

Sage

so desperately sorry my condolences to you all
rest in peace adrian you will be sadly missed

It is the one we never wanted to read. What a wonderful and brave man. Adrian has certainly left his mark on many people, and also kick-started changes in bone marrow donation that will give hope to thousands.

I'm so sorry for everyone that loves him, but glad he went in his sleep. He deserved a gentle ending. But wow what an angel he'll make!

Much love to the Sudbury's and to Liam.

We new this day was going to come but it still hits you so hard. My deepest sympathies go to all the Sudbury family, your son was such a special person who touched the hearts of people that didn't even know him.

Rest in Peace,

Margy x

That is so so sad, I've been reading his blog for while now and feared this news was very close. Sending lots of love to his family and friends xx

Deepest sympathy to all his family and friends.
He will be remembered as a guy who worked tirelessly for others so they would have a better chance of a overcoming this illness.
He was and is truly an inspiration for mankind.

The saddest day

So very sorry.

Rest in peace Adrian
God Bless

May you finally rest in peace big man and dream of Haribo!

I have never passed a comment before - never knowing what to say but always inspired by Adrians comments and fight.
Todays news has left me in tears and my hearfelt condolences go to his family and those close to him.
He has touched the hearts of so many people throughout the world and I agree that his words have changed my outlook on life.
Rest in peace Adrian, the fight will continue - it was not in vain

Came into work this morning and the first thing I did as I have for the past months is to log in and see how Adrian was doing. I have, over those months been moved, uplifted and inspired by what I have read. Such honesty, courage and grace. My heart is full today and my thoughts and prayers are with Adrian's family. Good night sweet prince and may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. xx

I sat and cried upon reading of Adrians passing. Such a beautiful person with such determination. Rest now, no longer in any pain. My thoughts are with all affected.

Heard the sad news on the radio and wanted to say Goodbye Adrian, rest in peace but the battle you started will go on. Sincere condolence to Keith, Kay and Carrie and try to remember in your grief you can be so proud of Adrian who was and always will be a very special young man. Loads of love and very best wishes. Diane R. xxx

So sad.
My deepest sympathies to Adrian's family.
We'll always remember that wonderful man.
Lots of love

RIP Adrian. You were an inspiration to so many. Long may your legacy live on. We will never forget you.

Sincere condolences to your family at this difficult time.

Deepest sympathies to you all. Adrian was one in a million.

It's a very sad day, however Adrian certainly changed all our lives for the better, I will never take anything for granted again, Adrian made me realise how much I have and how lucky I am and I will make the most of the time I have on this planet. I hope my wee boy turns out to be as special as Adrian was.

Thinking of Adrian's family at this sad time, at least Adrian's pain is over now. His memory is a light that will never go out!

All my love to the Sudbury's!

Love Alx

My thoughts and prayers today are with Adrian's family and friends. He was a wonderful person who will be very much missed. So sorry to hear this sad news.

I'm just so so sorry to hear of this news, RIP Adrian. My sincere condolences to your family and friends. The world lost a hero, lets make him a legend!

Helen x x

Deepest condolences to Adrian's family. I lost my husband to cancer in 2005 and thankfully his passing was quick and relatively painless. I have learnt these last few years to take his philosophy and spirit on board. We must make the best of the little time we have and appreciate the things that really matter.

This young man was an inspiration and will continue to leave a mark for many years to come.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time. Your son/brother was a very special person indeed.

Julie

Liam never wanted to write it, we never wanted to read it.

RIP Adrian, you were such an inspiration to people going through the same thing, and to everyone else I'm sure.

Condolences to his family, my thoughts are with you. xx

I'm so sorry to read this today. I cannot quite comprehend what you all must be going through. I registered as a bone marrow donor last week, because I read about it on this blog. Thank you Adrian, for perhaps giving me the opportunity to help someone else.

Rest in peace Adrian.

Rest in peace dear man
My prayers and condolences are with your family and friends and all who loved you.

The news just popped up on my BBC ticker and I rushed over here.

I am so, so sorry to hear that what we sadly knew was inevitable has finally happened but I hope in time you, his much loved family and friends, can take great comfort in knowing he was one of the most inspirational and special people most of us will ever have the honour of knowing.

Rest in peace Adrian, you will be sorely missed but you have left the most amazing legacy.

To all Adrians family and friends

I am so sorry to hear this sad news although it is something we all knew would happen it was still a shock to read the words this morning.

You don't need me to tell you that Adrian was an amazing young man and his legacy will definitely live on.

Sending all my love

Rest in Peace Adrian

Laura xxx

Rest in Peace Adrian. Sincere condolences to the Sudbury family and all that knew him - what am amazing and brave young man.

Laura

So very very sad to hear the news, may your son's good name and your happy memories sustain you in the days ahead.

A son to be truly proud of.

sincerely

Susan Leigh

Adrian was a true mench, it is a loss to the world that he is no longer with us but the great things that he did during his life are being continued and so his memory and legacy will live on. Although Adrian's life could not be saved let's hope that due to his work many others will have the chance to live a longer life.

Thanks to Liam and the "deam team", you have been great, keep pushing for what you believe in.

Jonni Berger

I am so desperately sorry to hear this news. Sending my love to the whole Sudbury family. Adrian was a truly remarkable man, who leaves an amazing legacy behind him. He will never, ever be forgotten. XXX

Every day when I clicked on the link to take me to this page did I dread seeing this post. Even though every time I did it I would steel myself to read what I knew was coming, it still took me by surprise. I think there's a part of me that thought some miracle would happen and instead of reading that Adrian had passed away I would read he'd been miraculously cured. Daft I know.

My sympathies go to the absolutely wonderful family and friends he was surrounded by - you all sound amazing.

I only wish I'd pluched up the courage to write a comment before now, so he would have known about one more person that admired him.

God Speed Adrian - your wings are awaiting.

My sincere condolences in Sudbery family

Dont know what to write.

To Adrian's family and friends, I'm sure you are very proud of him and you should be, he has been an inspiration to us all with his bravery, humour and sheer determination.

RIP Adrian and I hope your legacy continues with gusto!

Sincere condolences to Adrian's family and friends from all at Leukaemia Research

Such sad news.. It has still come as a shock even though it was expected at any time.

Adrian was such a wonderful person. He will be sadly missed.

Deepest sympathy to all Adrians family and friends - we have lost a truly wonderful and inspirational person but his legacy will live on. He will always be remembered. Nonetheless a tragic loss. Love and thoughts to all who care. xx

I have followed this blog for several months now and feel very priviledged to have met Adrian in person. He was (and still remains), a breath of fresh air and a huge inspiration.
My thoughts go out to his family as this sad time.
Love Katherine and David Gibson xxx

Kay, Keith, and Carrie.

The saddest day and the post from Liam that no one wanted to read.

My thoughts are with you all as you remember your wonderful son and brother.

He was the most inspirational young man who, through his blog, had everyone in gales of laughter one minute and tears the next.

Goodbye Adrian you will be remembered always.

With love
Yvonne

Have a safe journey Adrian, You fought for a very noble cause, and your work has left a trail of bricks as a foundation to start on something big! - A true Martyr to your cause. Mr Brown was right, an inspiration.

Best wishes and a very hearty thank you to the family who produced such a selfless being. People keep saying one man cant change the world - but through Adrian's plight he proved everyone wrong! 1 man CAN! - My condolenses. I know you will find Adrian's spirit right there with you to help you through this difficult time.

Not ashamed to say I shed a tear. Sleep well dear Afrian. I feel your loss.
Love and best wishes

Such a sad day. My sincerest condolences to Adrians family and friends.

I've read the blog almost from the start when my wife Donna fought and lost her battle with luekaemia. Tod feel I've lost a friend

Greg x

I am so awfully sorry.. what a fine son. You must be terribly proud of him.

Sending love to everyone who has been affected by Adrian's passing, particularly his wonderful family and friends.

Adrian was the most incredible preson (as if you need me to tell you that....) and as well as bringing so much love and laughter into your family's life, he changed so many of ours too.

Thank you Mr and Mrs Sudbury,for sharing your son and his life's journey with us. I hope in amongst the desperate sadness you feel, you also have room to be proud of a truly inspirational son.

Love to all Adrian's friends, especially Liam who has done so much for Adrian's cause.

Rest easy Adrian xxx

Goodnight and god bless adrian, rest in peace.

Condolences to Keith, Kay and Carrie, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Paula.

So so sorry to here of this news, something we all expected but doesn't make it any easier! Thinking of you all at this difficult time.
What an amazing, strong, brave man, and to be taken at such a young age. You all must be so proud of everything he has achieved in his short time.
RIP Adrian :( xxx

Very sad to hear that Adrian has lost his final battle.

Let's hope that what Adrian has done to promote awareness of bone marrow donation will stand as a lasting tribute to him.

So sad to hear the news of Adrian's passing, he was such a courageous young man who had everything to live for but never got the chance, and the time he had was spent crusading so other families did not have to go through what his has had to endure. So its up to all of us to keep the campaign going and make Sudders wish come true. May you rest in peace, out of suffering now. Goodnight, God Bless. My condolences to his family and friends,I hope that they can find some comfort in knowing what a wonderful and inspirations person Adrian was and that his legacy will continue to live on. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Amanda x

Oh no. I'm so sad to hear this and sad for Adrian's family. He was far too young to die but his legacy will be that other people's lives will benefit from Adrian's amazing work.

Adrian might be gone but certainly won't be forgotten. Through his work his legacy will live on and give many people another chance of life. What a guy!

So sorry to read this, we all knew it was inevitable but Adrian managed to keep his blog so honest and upbeat that it almost felt like today would never come.

My heartfelt sympathy to Adrian's family and friends, this is your time now and please look after yourselves first and don't feel you have any public obligation.

I'm personally not religious, but do believe that a person 'lives on' by the impact they had on others and being remembered by them. There is no doubt that more people will go on the bone marrow register because of his work and as a result other people and their families will get a second chance at life. The enormous spirit that Adrian showed will have a true lasting legacy.

Rest in peace Adrian, no more suffering or illness now.

Allon

My deepest sympathy to all of Adrian's family and friends. He was such a fighter, in so many ways and his battle to raise awareness for bone marrow donation will save the lives of many. His spirit will live on in them as it will in all who knew and loved him.

A true inspiration.

Lets hope all that was promised - is carried out..

Condolences to the Sudders family...

David

To all the Sudbury family

Words cannot convey what I feel and what you must be feeling. Take strength from the legacy that Adrian leaves and I urge all fellow bloggers to continue to spread the word that Adrian started about bone marrow donation. We WILL get that talk into the schools and once that happens Adrian will have achieved what he set out to do.

My heart goes out to you all... Adrian was one amazing guy!

Love and peace

PS: My thoughts are with Liam as well, who has done a sterling job with the technical side of the blog and wrote the saddest post that no-one wanted to read.

Rest in peace Adrian - your blog has been truly inspirational and your tireless campaign will not be forgotten. Condolences to the Sudbury family - hopefully you can take comfort from the fact that you raised such an inspirational son who has and will continue to change lives.

There is a book of condolence at:

http://remembrance.examiner.co.uk/bookofremembrance/index.cfm?action=view&bookId=28268

Adrian, so sorry you've gone but hopefully you're now in a better place, safe in the knowledge that you achieved so much more in such a short space of time, than most do in a much longer lifetime. Your legacy will be to save many lives over the coming years.

To your family and friends my sincere condolences. It's pretty apparent how fortunate they were to know someone as kind spirited as Adrian.

God bless you all.

Dear Kay and Keith,

There are no words of comfort that a stranger can really offer a parent who has lost a child.

My children are very young, yet to even begin achieving what they will, but if they manage even in a long lifetime to create the love and hope that your son achieved in such a short time, I know my job will have been well done.

God bless you both. Continue your son's wonderful work and I pray that you find solace, peace and comfort in such a noble task.

You had an amazing son and he made this world that we all live in a far better place. Thank you.

Kate Ray & Family

Oh how sad this makes me and my heart goes out to you his family and close friends. We all knew this day would come but it does not make it easier when it does. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Can I thank you for allowing us to share your son over the past few months. He was a very special person who has forged a place in so many hearts and will be remembered fondly forever. His work will continue and the difference that he has made to this world is immeasurable. He is at peace now and my tears now are for your loss. Keep each other close Chris

RIP mate, my sincere condolences to all your family.

Thankyou Liam for posting and giving us the news....I wish I could give you a hug.

This still comes as a devastating shock, even though we knew it would happen.....I am upset that Adrian's gone, I only knew him from this blog over the past 16 months or so, but felt like I'd almost met him really, he came across so wonderfully in his postings, with a wicked sense of humour and clearly had such a gift for journalism.
I am glad that the end stages weren't too drawn out for him, these last few weeks must have been so frustrating.

Much love to Adrian's Mum, Dad, Sister and loved ones....I know what you are going through and I wish you comfort in your memories.

Adrian, you were an inspiration and will always live on in all of us. I'll be raising a glass to you tonight.

Lots of love,

Catherine x x

Rest in Peace, Adrian. You will always remain an inspirational person. Love to all of your friends and family during these sad times xxxxxxxxx

To all of Adrian's family and friends - having lost my 24 year old husband to leukaemia 3 months ago, I'd like to be able to sit here and say I know how you feel, but having gone through it myself, nobody has any idea.

Please accept my sincerest condolences for the loss of your son, brother and friend - there are no words that can describe the pain you're feeling right now and how hard life is going to be for you going forward without him. Despite what everyone says about things getting easier in time, it's bullshit - it just confirms that you'll never see that special person again, and it doesn't change a thing. The ode I used as part of my hubby's memorial service seems appropriate too - to the world you were but one, but to us, you were the world.

Adrian - you showed so much strength throughout what was such a traumatic time for you, and you have left your mark on the world. One that will never be forgotten, even all the way over here in South Australia. One of the worlds true heroes - rest in peace.

SB xoxo

Sleep well Adrian x

Sad, sad news. We knew it had to happen but, whether you discovered it through this blog, were mailed, or heard it on the radio driving to work, it still comes as a shock.

Perhaps this is because Adrian had a magnificently strong spirit right to the end that outshone and conquered the dire circumstances he found himself in.

You could see where he got that beautiful spirit from in the updates from Kay and family, and via Liam.

When he did have to leave he was surrounded by these lovely people, thank goodness.

God Bless Adrian and his family.

Hounslow

Nothing but my greatest respect and admiration.
I donated bone marrow through the Anthony Nolan Trust several years ago. It was the easiest thing to give someone a shot at beating leukaemia. Easy for me. Potentially lifesaving for the patient.

To anyone who is considering bone marrow donation; you have no idea how easy it can be and what a difference in can make. Sign up to the Anthony Nolan trust.

Just so so sad. My thoughts are with Adrian's family now. Adrian, pal, you will never be forgotten and your work will live on in all of us. May God rest your soul matey.
Clare xxx

Please accept my most sincere condolences. Adrian achieved a most pure form of journalism - one his fellow hacks, including myself, can only dream of. He educated, informed and ultimately made a difference.

Only the very best can say they achieved that - even after a long career. What makes it more astonishing is he did it in such a short time. You must be very proud.

But, of course, it was not his illness that made Sudders a cracking reporter. Sometimes us journalists lose sight of the people behind the stories and simple see front pages and exclusives. Adrian never did that. Although he was acutely aware of how important any given story was he never lost sight of the human impact. He cared. It was pleasure to work with him.

The big newsroom in the sky just got a lot more talented.

Richard Porritt, Examiner old boy.

I'm truly heartbroken, but also feel incredibly lucky that I've had the chance to learn so much from such a wonderful, inspirational person!

Rest in peace Adrian!

Praying for comfort during this very sad time!

To the Sudbury family,
I have no words that will bring you comfort. Your son was a wonderful man who inspired so many people & he will continue to be an inspiration to many more.
The coming days, weeks & months wil be so hard for you all, but stick together, laugh together & cry together.
I don't know where Adrian's soul has gone, but I'm sure he is in no more pain & he will continue to spread his particular brand of love & inspiration wherever he goes.
My deepest sympathies to you all.

I am devastated. We knew this day would come, but it doesn't make it any easier.

To Kay, Keith and Carrie.
Thankyou for sharing Adrian with us at such a difficult time. I know you weren't offended when we referred to him as "our boy", because he seemed just like another member of the family to us.

Try to take comfort in the fact that he will have changed the world for the better. I am not an overly religious person but I am sure Adrian will be sprouting wings very soon.

Sleep tight sweet cheeks, you deserve it.

Bless you

Ree

To all of Adrian's family and friends,

I am genuinely and utterly heartbroken by this sad news.

Adrian was a hero for our time, who never wavered from his cause, even when the going got almost beyond endurance.

As a leukaemia survivor, I hope that I would have shown just an iota of Adrian's strength and courage.

His amazing work is a legacy what will live on. I fervently hope that soon we will have a cure for all those with leukaemia, and being on the donor register is something everyone is happy to do.

My love and condolences at this time,

Ali Jacobs

It's not often that you come across people who are truly inspirational. I am so glad to have had the privilege of knowing Adrian through this blog. I may not of met you in the flesh but your fighting spirit will stay with me for a long time to come. God bless you Mr Sudbury.

My deepest sympathy to Adrian's family and friends.

I've read Adrian's blog over a long period, when he first apeared on Calendar.Never commented, but decided I would 'next time' too late for Adrian, but as a Parent, would send my condolences to his Family. I lost a Son in a tragic Road accident, so know the feeling of loss.Many of us never met Adrian, but felt we knew him, through his Diary of events....I am in tears for you today,and you must be so proud to have had him in your life, albeit for so short a time.

My deepest sympathies to Adrian's family.

We are saddened to hear of Adrians passing.
A very courageous young man who faced his illness with dignity, honesty and laughter.
Our thoughts are with his family.

no

I have only just discovered Adrian's blog. A very close relative aged 58 seems to have had exactly the same as Adrian. She was diagnosed with AML in December 2006 and has gone through all the chemos, bone marrow transplant, Graft versus host disease, blood transfusions, platelets, and then she had a relapse in April this year and was told it was now terminal. She decided to continue with a very mild chemo but has had lots of problems with infections since. My heart goes out to his family at this time. He seemed as if he were a really nice person and so brave. It has helped to read about someone in the same situation as we have been.

Saddenign news - deepest sympathies to Adrian's family and friends. Through his blog and his work, I think that he was an inspiration to people he never even knew that he'd been able to inspire.

Dear Sudburys

Adrian was the finest of men, who will always be remembered for his talent, humanity, dignity and courage.

I am heartbroken for you, but I am glad that dear Adrian is free at last.

Thank you for giving him such love, security and happiness, especially in his last weeks.

With my deepest condolences
Amanda

Dear Keith, Kay and Carrie,

I write this with tears pouring down my face...words just seem so inadequate.

Adrian will forever be remembered for being inspirational, coutageous, witty and a fantastic journalist...the list could go on and on.

I feel very priviliged to have shared a small part of his life via his blog, he has touched so many lives, and I will miss him very much.

I am sure Adrian is in a beautiful place now, where there is no more pain and anxiety, but hopefully unlimited porkpies and pints of beer!

With much love and sympathy to you all

Thank you for the link Kirsty. Just had a look, and I am afraid I had to make a comment!! The journalist began each sentence with "Sudbury". My comment was that Adrian had a first name and deserved to be called by it and remembered for it.

Sorry, don't mean to be picky, but feel a bit emotional.

Love to all the cyber family

"So he passed over, and all the Trumpets sounded for him on the other side."

(from A Pilgrims Progress by John Bunyan)

May God hold all of you in the palm of His hands..thank you for sharing him with all of us...no words can explain why...but.. Our Lord needed your dear son...take and cherish and live over and over ALL of the good times all of you had..I would think that is what your dear son and brother would want you to do...again thank you

liam...thank you for your kindness to all of us..your post about Adrian was written from your heart..I am sorry for you for losing such a true friend...take care of yourself...you have done a wonderful job for this blog..God bless..

I don't know how to express my feelings,
Today morning I was told that one of my friends died suddenly from cancer and I just thought of Adrian, and came here to check how is he.... Oh God... I can't believe that I won't read him anymore,...
I wish him peace and his family patience...
My deepest condolences to all those who loves him forever,...

Rest in peace Adrian. None of us were looking forward to this day.

Cillian

My sincere condolences to Kay, Keith, Carrie and family. Adrian taught us all so much and many thousands will be eternally grateful to you, The Sudbury Family, but most of all to Adrian, for giving himself so selflessly.

Whilst we knew this sad day would come eventually, how could we be prepared when Adrian continued to amaze us with his achievements? What an amazing guy.

Rest in peace Adrian. Thank you SO much for the help you gave to me during my treatment. I will never forget you and will continue to do all I can to support your cause.

Love and strength to you all,

Christina xx

Sleep tight Adrian, you won't be forgotten xxx

To Adrian's family. My thoughts are with you all. This day has been expected for some time now, but that doesn't make it any less devastating. I hope you get some comfort from knowing how many people are thinking of you all and how many lives your amazing son touched.

Adrian, I hope people read newspapers in the place you've gone too. Maybe there's a Heaven Examiner or something like that. You'll be the editor mate, and you'll deserve it. Rest in peace.

Just been big piece about Adrian on Look North.
Lovely comments (PM called him a hero).Watching Adrian and listening to him was so heart rending but yet wonderful. Adrian will always be OUR hero and live on in our heads and hearts forever.
Much love to everyone

My dear Adrian,

Now in the most beautiful, peaceful place with no more sadness or pain.

Keith, Kay and Carrie, my thoughts and prayers are with you. This wonderful man was special - may that knowledge and the love you shared with him, lift and support you and all his loved ones at this saddest of times.

I hope this prayer by Henry Scott Holland will comfort you - it was a great help to me when my father and later, my partner died.

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other that we are still
Call me by the old familiar name
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again.

God bless you and hold you in his arms.

My love as always,

Julia xx

For Kay, Keith and Carrie,
I don't know what to say, except this is a very very sad day :-(
It feels slightly surreal to feel so upset about someone I never met.
Thinking of Adrians family and friends with love and sympathy xx

I know I have commented already this morning but I also know that so many of my dear cyber friends will be feeling as I do this morning and I just wanted to give you all a cyber hug. It is truly amazing the effect this young man has had on us all considering we have never met him. The world is a sad place this morning. Chris

Deepest sympathy to Adrian's family. He really did touch the world! Darling boy that you are so rightly proud of and deeply love. Helen, New Zealand x x

I'm so very sorry to hear of Adrian's death. He was an inspiration to us all.

I wish his family and friends well at this time.

I have just heard this on the UK Channel 5 news, such a tragic loss. My heart goes out to Keith, Kay, Carrie and Adrian's friends, as well as to those that he had touched during his short life.

*Hugs*
Natalie - United Kingdom

Thank you Chris, a hug was just what I needed. My husband is at work so haven't anyone at home to share this with at the moment.

A hug to you Chris and everyone else in our "family".

Now I cant write "Dear Adrian"!It was envitable but it is a shock.

Today morning( very early there) when I was writing I wanted to write 'you can attend your sister's wedding soon', but something prevented me from writing that and now he is no more.

Feeling very sad and I will remain like that for long, dont know for how long.Can imagine what his parents and sister are going through.But it is very different sitting here imagining things without knowing exactly what is happeneing there,not able to attend his funeral,not able to see him one last time, it is unexplainable.
But Liam please let us all know in detail the rest of the procedures.

All of you have some peace of mind thinking that Adrian is not suffering now.I hope he did die in his sleep without knowing that he is going to die.

Feel like he is someone I knew very well.

Thanks Mrs Kay for the previous post saying that Adrian is not having any serious troubles that made me happy and I was having some peace of mind after that post.Now it is a shock but I think I can manage now,somebody is giving me strength, may be Adrian.I am crying still it is not as maddening as when I read his last few posts.

Liam, please keep this blog going, dont want this blog to disappear.You will be busy with your life ,that we all can understand but keep few mnts for Adrian and his friends (like me)atleast once in a week or 2 or 3 weeks.Never want to forget such a rare personality.

Shiney

Liam thankyou for the post, it must have been very difficult for you to write.

Adrian you ae an amazing man, you changed the way I think about my life and I am a changed person for the better for knowing you.

Kay, Keith and Carrie, my deepest, deepest condolences, Adrian was an insperation to many people. I know that you will all be very proud of him.

We have lost an amazing man but we have gained a beautifull and inspirational Angel.

Good night and God bless Adrian, sleep well

Sarah xxx

If ever this poem was appropriate at such a time, surely it is now.

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Christina Rossetti

I need to properly gather my thoughts, don't know what to say, but put simply:

TO THE AMAZING SUDBURY FAMILY AND FRIENDS:

I feel for you all so much now and offer my sincere condolonces. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. What an incredible person; what an incredible lecacy.

TO EVERYONE READING THIS WHO HAS BEEN SO TOUCHED BY ADRIAN'S STORY:

I just want to throw my arms around every single one of you, and comfort you all.

All my love Charlotte xx

sleep well adrian we will miss you but always know you will be with us.as you once said if theres nothing beyond this life you will get a good sleep.i hope you are sleepin the good sleep now and you are free from pain.you are so loved by everyone.xxxxxxxxxxx

So sad to hear today's news. Such an inspiration. I have followed Adrian's story from the start. Love to his friends and family.

Have a good rest Adrian. farewell until we see you again.

Am so desperately sad, this post hit me like a bolt of lightning even though I was expecting it at some point - just not yet. I don't know why. I was actually visiting to see Adrian had posted again, I had just read the news about blood being grown from stem cells and wondered if he had read it, I really did not expect you to go yet Adrian.

Adrian, we will miss you desperately, you were the most amazing man I have ever EVER had the pleasure to know, even through the words of a blog. It is truly tragic that someone like Adrian had to die so young. I will miss his posts terribly. I cannot imagine how his family feel right now.

Although I am devastated that he has gone, I am so so so pleased and relieved that he passed away in his sleep surrounded by his family. Truly I am. Although 'pleased' and 'relieved' may sound inappropriate I am sure you will all understand what I mean by this. I really think that the prayers and thought of many, of course coupled with the amazing palliative nursing care, caused such a peaceful death.

Kay and family, Liam, Adrians friends - sending you all my love, I don't know what else to say. He was simply amazing.

Love Caroline xxx

There will be a new star in the heavens tonight and it will shine brighter than all the rest. Sleep peacefully Sudders. Although we never met I feel that I knew you well.
Adrians army will never forget you and what you achieved.
My love to the Sudbury family
Steph x

My most heart felt condolensces to everyone that knew him and lifes that he touched.

Gone but never forgotten, he has made everylasting differnces..

My love to you all.

Bec xxx

So very sad. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. A truly inspiring and courageous man has been lost - one who touched our hearts and taught us all, the world over. Sleep peacefully Adrian.

So sad to hear the news. Although it was expected, it still seemed like a shock.

Lots of love and hugs to Adrian's parents, sister and friends - thinking of you at this sad time.

Love

Jane xx

RIP Adrian. You made such a huge difference to many many people in such a small time.

LEGEND.

just wanted to express my condolences to all who knew adrian, even though i did not know him myself, i can say that he has had a positive effect on the way i think, its hard to believe that someone who was suffering daily still had the will and determination to campaign for change, a truley inspirational person! and lets hope that his adrians work is carried on, let it not be in vain! and i belive that adrian is sleeping with his fellow angels now.

My deepest condolences to you all.

*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 glint on snow.
I am the sunshine on ripened grain,
I am the gentle morning rain.
And when you wake in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die.*

Rest well now, Adrian. We're so proud of you :)

Love to everyone,
Shelly

Rest In Peace Adrian.

You touched the heart of everyone you met, and even those you didn't through this blog. You'll be sadly missed xx

To the Sudbury Family,

You should be so very proud of Adrian and all he accomplished. His leagacy will live on.

Jan in Washington, DC

My thoughts and sympathy are with Adrian's family and friends. I admire his strength and courage and know he touched so many people and has and will be an inspiration to so many.

Melissa- USA

Please accept my deepest condolences. Adrian touched the hearts of many, including my own. He will never be forgotten.

Stacy in Ohio, USA

My deepest condolences to the Sudbury family and friends. Thank you Adrian for being such an inspiration to many around the globe.

Rest in peace.

Kim (NY-USA)

This country has lost a true hero! To Adrian's Mum and Dad my sincere condolences to you both, you had an incredible son together! Rest in peace Ade. Lots of love xx

With regards to Keith's comments about every parent believeing their child is special, yes you are absolutely right but what an outstandingly special person Adrian was. So many people will be sad throughout the world today and all because of this one special guy. A true gent, and a true hero to many others facing what he has been through. I for one shall very much miss Adrian and his blogs. He has and will continue to be a true inspiration, and I hope that family and friends will remember that he has left such a fantastic legacy and without any doubt saved many lives.
May you be at peace now Adrian. You well and truly deserve it.
With much love to you and deepest respect for your family at this very very sad time.
Kerry xxx

So so sorry to hear this news although I guess we were all expecting it. My thoughts are with Adrians lovely family, thank you for letting us share him even though I never met him, he will not be forgotten- he was truly an inspiration. A huge hug to you all xx

I wish that simple words could make this better, but I know that none will...I am so sorry for your loss. Your son was an amazing human being who is an inspiration to us all. He is in a better place now, and we are all a lot sadder for the loss.

Even though I knew it was coming it still comes with sadness. I will miss his words and the way he wrote with such humour, adoration and courage! I will miss you Adrian.

All my love and deepest sympathies to his family and friends. I know you have the best memories! x.

Although I only knew Adrian through this blog, like many others I felt I knew him personally.
I can't believe this day has come and send warmest hugs to all his family and friends.
The tributes that have been flooding in are all richly deserved and I hope will bring some comfort in the future. Adrian touched the hearts of many.
As others have shared poems and quotes I thought I would share this which has been of comfort to me in the past.

When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not for long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that once we shared
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all part of the master plan
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go the friends we know.
Laugh at all the things we used to do
Miss me, but let me go.

Rest in Peace Aidrian,

Your legacy will live on, you were a rareity in todays world

xx

I've never posted before but wanted to offer my sincere condolences to Adrian's family. Rest in Peace Adrian. Even in your suffering, you made the effort to make the world a better place.

Dear Adrian

What an inspiration you have been and what a legacy to leave.
You are at peace now - all your troubles behind you.

Sincere condolences to Kay,Keith,Carrie & all the Sudbury family.

Best Wishes as always to you all

Liz Boffey

So sorry to hear that Adrian has lost his fight. He's certainly left his mark on the world...a very worthy young man cut off in his prime

I guess not many of us were suprised to see this, but it does not make it any less sad.

My deepest condolences to Adrian's friends and family.

Rest in peace brother, you really did swing for the fences mate. Britain needs more men (and women) like you.

Sudbury family and cyber family,

I'm at a loss for words, but not a loss for emotion. I can hardly keep my hands from shaking so I can write this, and I'm awash in a flood of tears: I am so very sorry for your... our... loss. I hope he has found "something wonderful" and that he is at peace now.
I just can't believe it. Never been so sad in all my life.

Love to you all Kay, Keith, Carrie, Liam and all Adrian's friends.

To the Sudders Effect.

xoxoxox

Rest in Eternal Peace Adrian.
God will have a beautiful angel.
Sincere Condolences to all Adrians family.

Love as always
X Marlene

Very sorry.

My heart goes out to the Sudbury family. Adrian was truly a hero and a warrior. He has changed my life for the better. Rest peacefully, Adrian!!

Erica

Godspeed, Adrian. You left your mark on this world and I am blessed to have "known" you even for this short time. You truly touched my life.

So sorry to hear this news but I know that Adrian is in a far better place; free from pain and at peace.

Adrian will not be forgotten - his courage, good humour and determination were inspirational.

My thoughts and prayers are with Adrian, his family and friends.

With love,

How strange it seems for me to be sitting in my office on a mundane Wednesday morning feeling the pain that comes with losing someone; someone I was never even introduced to, in fact I was never in the same room, same town, same country...However through the power of Adrian's writing, he may never have known me, but I grew deeply attached to him, his family, his friends, and mostly his spirit for what be believed in.

My deepest sympathies to those that truly know him and for that reason grieve the most.

There are never any words that make it right, only memories that make us smile.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Adrian was an inspiration to everyone who read his blog and touched many hearts. His legacy will live on through his bone marrow donor campaign for many many years to come. My thoughts are with you.
xxxx

I am deeply saddened for Adrian's family and friends and am hopeful that this brings peace to Adrian's body as that suffering has ended. His spirit lives on in everyone that carries his torch from here forward. I hope that the tears we cry wash away other's pains in the future so that no one will have to endure the suffering that Adrian's body went through nor his family's heartaches....Adrian....you are missed!

My condolences to Adrian's family. He affected more people than he could ever know.
Angela

Adrian made us all better people.

What will each of us do about this?

My deepest condolences go out to Adrian, his family and all who knew and loved him.

I have never posted on this blog but i followed Adrian's story in the news with great interest. He was (and still is) such an inspiration to so many people. I have always supported this cause and continue to do so especially after a close family member was also recently diagnosed with leukaemia.

You are all in my thoughts and i hope that Adrian has finally found some peace. You have left such a lasting legacy, you will live on through this.

Rest peacefully now dear angel.

xx

Dearest Keith, Kay and Carrie,

Rest assured that Adrian's good work will be continued. We have pledged to see it through. His army grieves with you.

I am trying to take comfort in the fact that our boy is no longer suffering, and that you were with him as he passed, peacefully (which was his last wish.)

You tears are shared by many the world over. Sending you my deepest condolences and love. I am honoured to have 'known' Adrian and grateful that I 'met' him through Baldy's.

Your boy is a legend and his legacy will live on. Sweet dreams Adrian "Tough as Old Boots" Sudbury.

I will sorely miss his honest, funny posts.

xoxo
Tash

So sorry to hear of your loss... you are all in our prayers.

Although this day was sadly inevitable, it still comes a huge shock as I continued to log on every day fully expecting to read Adrian's latest witty observations. For them to end so suddenly really brings home to reality of a situation that I had tried desperately to put to the back of my mind. Sleep well mate, wherever you are know that you have touched so many people in the short time you were allowed, you will live on through your campaign and I will be thinking of you when I donate along with my family early next month.
God Bless
Poppy xxxx

My condolences. May he sit lightly on your shoulder for ever, Keith, Kay, Carrie and all family and friends.

May he still create the Sudders Effect and sit more heavily on Parliament to encourage them to fulfill all promises. Rest in Peace Adrian.

Katie, Liam, and Adrian's Army - my thoughts are with you too.

I don't know what to say. I've had almost 3 hours to let this sink in, and still it doesn't seem real. It is such a horrid shock. We all knew it was going to happen but somehow just hoped......
I would like to invite you all to join us "blogettes" in our 8pm toast tonight. Please raise a glass or 2 tonight at 8pm and celebrate the life of a true star.

Adrian, sweet sweet Adrian. It's time for you to rest now. Your work is done, and it's about time we took over. You can rest easy knowing that there are plenty of us to carry on your work, and you know what us women are like! Oh I pity anyone who stands in our way!!!! They will feel the wrath of Adrian's Army.
Rest in Peace sweetheart. You really have taken a piece of all of us with you.

Kay, Keith & Carrie, I cannot pretend to know your pain. I hope you somehow find comfort in knowing that we all are with you in mourning a very special young man. If any of you need anything, we are all here for you all. Life is so bloody unfair at times.
Loads and loads of love and cyber hugs.
Tina. ~X~X~X~X~X~X~

My sympathies to all of Adrian's family and friends. I've been in a very similar position to you, losing a 28 year old brother to leukaemia, and I promise that these dark days will eventually pass for you and although there will always be sadness at his loss, there'll also be the memories of the good times and the joy of knowing what he has achieved over the last few months. Today, the world is just that little bit better a place for the rest of us because of him. You can be proud that he was one of you.

A very sad day, my condolences to Adrian's
family,
Jean xxx

Dear Kay, Keith and Carrie.

I am at a loss for words because even when it was expected, it still is a shock to find that Adrian is no longer with us.

These past weeks of shared life with your dear son have been a privilege. You raised a wonderful son, and he has left us with a great lead to follow in his name. And with so many shoulders to lean on, this will be an easy task.

I send you my warmest condolences and remain with you in spirit,

Anna

Would everyone please register theyr'e vote for our Aidrian on the Daily mirror pride of Britain awards,

Come on people let us show Aidrian and his family the appreciation they deserve.

We will still raise a glass and light a candle, but tonight it will be in memory of a wonderful amazing person. Chesney Hawkes will be in the background!

Tina, you are so right, we will all keep watch and make sure that everything Adrian worked for happens.

Yvonne

Rest in peace my friend I will never forget you, your an angel now in heaven.

My condolences, Michael.
p.s. Adrian you made me a better person, thank you mate.

Some people are just utterly inspirational. My sincere condolences to all on the loss of such a larger than life character.

I did not know Adrian in person, only through his blogs. Rest in peace, my friend. You will be so sadly missed. Love from Julie and family.

I am so very sad to read this news just now, although we knew it was coming. Adrian was a very special person. Quite amazing. His parents must be so proud of him and my thoughts and prayers are with them now. Condolences.

Sorry for your loss, Adrian was such an inspiration to so many people. May God bless you all as a family and give you strength and peace

So sad and sorry to hear that Adrian has passed away. I was going to say 'sorry he has gone', but somehow I feel he will remain in all of our memories forever. Heard the news on '5 live' as I was driving to work and felt really choked up. However, I felt glad for Adrian that his battle is now over. Even though Adrian was so ill he remained a larger than life presence, even via the writing in his blog. His courage in the face of such difficult circumstances was truly inspirational and I will sorely miss reading his words, listening to his voice and watching his videos.

To Adrian's family: I send you love, thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. It is terribly hard to lose someone young (I know how it feels), but you must be incredibly proud of all he achieved in a short time. He was a truly amazing person.

Thinking of all of you,

Elaine xx

Dear Liam and Katie,

you two are the best friends a man can have in his life! Stay strong...

Ann

No matter how prepared we thought we were this news comes crushing down as heavily as if it was unexpected. I'm happy to hear that Adrian went to sleep, and hopefully passed dreaming one of his funny dreams. Kay, Keith and Carrie...my thoughts are with you. Your son and brother was a huge inspiration to me, and was the sole reason that I am now on the marrow register here in the U.S. He is a true hero.

With love,
Michelle

I am speechless
I hope to find words soon

Laura

Feels like a bolt out of the blue, I didn't expect Adrian to be gone so soon, selfish of me I know. Love and hugs and special thoughts to the Sudburys at this sad time.

Love you Adrian
x x x x x x x x

Yet again with this internet site, I'm not sure I can add much to what has already been said.

I met Adrian a couple of times when he was a journalist for the Huddersfield Examiner and I really liked him.

The writing on this Blog was quite something. The humour was almost constant - even through the darkest times. Let's not underestimate that or beat around the bush - that's actually bloody incredible.

And I guess thats been demonstrated by the awards it won.

I'm from Huddersfield, but now live in Germany and teach English. I've told many students about this blog and all have been moved. Especially when I tell them he's been using a German model for his project.

It's a sad loss - and for anyone who has read this internet site over the passing months, that goes without saying.

God bless you Adrian.

Gavin Fearnley - Cologne, Germany.

I can only repeat what I wrote in the book...

You click on to a page and you just feel you know what's going to be written there. It was hard to comment his last few blogs after our few funny emails because words seemed to become pointless and family and real friends essential as the tide turned.

I honestly think, and will always know that Adrian was one individual of supreme courage, compassion, and drive that the rest of us can only dream of being. I feel devastated for the family of a man I only ever shared a few silly sentences with, but at the same time we are talking about a man who shared his most personal and torturous time with the world and had them clicking on his blog three times a day to see what new feat he had achieved regardless!

Amazing, sad and hopeful all in one - I hope he will always be remembered for standing out in astonishing courage and commitment.

Back to source but the good work remains marked for us all to carry on for and because of him. In peace good fella, you deserve no less than eternal memory, JJ x

I am so so sorry to hear that Adrian has left us. I will miss him, I always looked forward to seeing his posts and finding out how he was.

My thoughts are with his family and friends

xx

I never have the right words to say when someone passes.

It has been a privilege to get to get to know Adrian and his work through his blog.

Sending love from Canada.

So very sorry

Dearest Kay, Keith and Carrie,

I am so very sorry for this incredible loss. Adrian will never be forgotten, nor will his cause. He was such an insiration and he will continue to be the reason that so many lives will be saved in the future. What a mark he left on the world!

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

All my love,
Rachel

Oh blimey mate, you caught me out. Sleep tight, I will miss you deeply even though we never met. You certainly made me think differently about exactly how much one person can help another. I lost my best friend just over two months ago and you helped me realise that while I couldn't save him, there might be someone else out there that I COULD save. So I'm wiping away the tears for you both and posting the forms, giving the blood and standing by and waiting for the opportunity to make a tiny fraction of the difference you made possible.

My prayers are with your family.

so very sad.

Heartfelt condolences to you--I am so very sorry that Adrian has passed on but know that he is now at peace, and continuing onward. . .

Hi Anon, I have already nominated Adrian for Pride of Britain awards but the competition for this year closed 2 days before my nomination. I have investigated if it is possible to include his nomination for this year but if not perhaps he could be nominated for next year. No one deserves this award more. He certainly was someone that Britain should be very proud of. Chris

Sudbury Family-

I want to start by saying it was such a pleasure to get to know your adrian. I have only wrote on this a couple of time but have read almost all of his blogs. He was truly a wonderful person. I am very sorry for your lose. I dont really have much more I can say I am very sorry. I hope you can be incouraged tho that he made a big impact with his life in his short time here on earth. More than most make in a full life. He did alot of great things. You should be very very proud. I will never forget about Adrian even tho I never met him. He will forever be in my memories. Thank you Adrian for sharing your story. Sudbury Family my deepest sympothys are with you. God Bless and take care.

I'm in shock, as odd as that seems because sadly we all had to accept it was coming...i just wished, prayed and hoped it never would.

I will miss his posts on this blog so much, but i will never forget the work he did and i know will continue to do from a place where he is now at peace-he has changed so many lives.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

What an inspiration.

I just came back from holiday and my mum told me what happened. So sad. Rest in Peace Adrian. You will be very much missed. You were such an inspiration. love vicky xxxxx

Even though it was expected at some point, it still comes as a deep shock that Adrian will no longer be here, he truly was a very very special person and the end of his life will always stay with me. The blog he created is something very unique, very personal, at many times funny, full of laughter and also primarily a purpose.

So, Adrian, RIP and you'll always have a very special place in my and hubby's heart.

To all the Family of Adrian, With Deepest Sympathy. A Very Courageous young man.

The post I never wanted to read. Even though it was expected, part of me always hoped that somehow things would change.

Adrian has touched so many people with his words of hope and inspiration and his honest, frank and deeply touching account of his experiences.

May he rest in peace and I hope the campaign continues to attract support and continues to gain momentum.

My wishes and condolences to friends and family at this difficult time.

Claire x

So sorry. My sincerest condolences to the family. This is my first post, though I've been following the blog.

I've been on the Anthony Nolan register for 17 years, and a blood donor for 27 years. I'm just sorry I couldn't do something for Adrian.

Rest in peace Adrian and know we won't forget you.

A true new star will shine in our skies tonight.

Nite Adrian,

Our loss is heavens gain.

sleep well

I can only what everyone above has said.
You're in a better place now, Adrian.

My condolences to the Sudbury family and friends.
Adrian...you were an inspiration to everyone who knew you...and even those who didn't but read your blog. He was very brave right to the end. Now your pain has gone. Sweet dreams Adrian...R.I.P. but your memory will live on.

Love Bernie

Keith , Kay & Carrie
I am so sorry about what has happened. May we offer our most sincere condolences to you all at this time and hope you have enjoyed these past few weeks with 'your boy'. There are many in this world how should have gone before. He was such an inspiration too many people. Keep up the good work folks he will be watching!!!

I logged on today in hopes of reading some witty words from Adrian, and when I read the headline, my heart dropped to the pit of my stomach. It literally took my breath away and I don't really know what to say. I have been reading this blog since April or May and I can't help but stop by a few times a day to see what he has written or what the lovely blogettes have said to make me smile.

To the Sudburys and Liam and Katie: Nothing anyone can say can make this time any easier on you, but just know that there are literally thousands (if not more!) people in this world who are grieving with you over the loss of this amazing, gifted, wonderful man who made us all laugh and cry.

To Adrian: Rest well, be at peace and have a few beers once you get to heaven. Know that you are in our hearts forever!

Very much love to you ALL!

To all The Sudbury family and all of Adrian's friends, my deepest condolences. Although we knew this day would come, my heart is filled with sadness for you all.

I know and feel your heartbreak having lost my own 17 year old daughter, Maria, to this vile horrible illness.

Adrian, you are one of the most inspirational people I have ever come across and my hope is that the work you have started will continue long into the future saving many precious young lives. What a fantastic tribute to your life that will be.

Rest in Peace Adrian - you are surely one of those who will go straight to heaven. Give a hug and a kiss to my precious Maria for me.

I have started typing this message 4 times throughout the day, but wasn't sure what exactly to say. Instead i have been looking over some of Adrian's old blog posts, it's funny how something so sad could make me smile! His sense of humour and positive attitude was amazing, and there is no doubt that his family and friends are so very proud of him.
What a truely wonderful person. I think we all owe it to Adrian to not let him or his cause be forgotten.
Rest in peace Adrian, i will never forget you.

Remembering one of life's rare, true heros. Rest in peace Adrian.

I thought of Adrian this morning and somehow I knew he had passed. I'm very saddened by this news.

Keith - your statement about Adrain, reading it, my heart breaks for you. Kay and Keith, what wonderful parents you are and what an amzing son you have in Adrian. I'm so glad he was able to pass at home, on his terms. I am so glad he is not suffering anymore.

Adrian taught me so much about life. Even though I never met him. He has brought me new, cherished friends and a different perspective on life. His humor and ability to convey himself through writing was amazing.

His desire to better the world has inspired me in a way nothing else has.

His selflessness, his drive to educate. I'm not finding the words very well.

Thank you Kay and Keith for sharing your son with us and for taking the time to update us on things.

Carrie - I love the wonderful things Adrian posted about you on this blog. You are an amazing sister.

Liam - Thank you for all your hard work. Especially for posting this very difficult post.

Adrian's work will live on. We will not let it die.

TO THE SUDDERS EFFECT!!

Good night, sweet Prince.

I am so sorry to hear of Adrian's passing. Adrian will not be forgotten!

this day can't be happening

Even though this day has been coming now that it's here it doesn't feel real.

Adrian was a special guy and although I didn't know him personally I feel like I have lost a friend.

I am just about to leave my job to go to medical school to train to be a doctor. Adrian is going to continue to be an inspiration to me not only as I embark on my new career but in all areas of my life too and I hope I can help continue his good work in some way.

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same."

Sleep peacefully Sudders.

Kay my heart goes out to you on the loss of your beautiful son.

I am so sad to hear this news. I lost my husband in April to Leukemia and he never found a bone marrow donor. Although we are in the United States, Adrian's campaign was special to me for that very reason. Adrian impressed me so much and touched my heart. Although I was not able to meet him personally, I will miss him greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with you, his family and friends. A Great Loss to all. God Bless.

What an inspiration to us all. I hope the pride that we all feel will lead to a better future for other suffers.

Rest in Peace Adrian.. and my thoughts are with everyone who knew you.

xxxx

Secretly I prayed for some miracle that this would not happen, at least not so soon. I am relieved that Adrian is at peace. My deepest, most sincere condolences to Kay, Keith and Carrie. Though many of us did not know Adrian personally he has left a mark on all of us that will not soon be forgotten. God bless him for all of the hard work that he has done. Liam, thank you for all of your hardwork and taking the time to post during the most difficult times.

Sincerely,
Jamie

My heartfelt wishes are sent to the Sudbury family. RIP Adrian xxxx

Even though I knew this day would come, it was the last thing I expected to read when I checked in today. Rest in peace matey, you achieved so much and hopefully we can only build on that.
All my love and thoughts to your family xxxx

I cannot change the fact the Lord has taken such a brave soldier, but I CAN change the way people feel about Bone Marrow Donations. Thank you Adrian for all your hard work. God Bless the Sudbury's for sharing their son with the world. Adrian, I shall miss you deeply even though we have never met. Rest Now my friend knowing that the rest of us will keep your mission alive.

Such sad news, in order for my brain to cope I, selfishly, have to twist the news so that I look at it as he is no longer suffering. I am proud to have been a "blogaholic" and to know that there are people out there who care and Adrian certainly made a difference.

I have left a message in the book of condolence, this is it...

What Adrian has done to raise awareness of leukaemia deserves a knighthood, the largest statue in the world and his family should feel so much pride. What a man!! I wish all his family and friends my deepest sympathy but he will never be forgotten. His legacy is already huge and will only grow. Just think how many people have joined the bone marrow register since he started his campaign, how many lives saved because of him. Such a terrible shame it took him to get the illness for the ball to start rolling. I could type for hours so I will wrap up now. ADRIAN SUDBURY, THANK YOU xxx

Dear Kay, Keith and Carrie,

Anything I say just seems so inadequate. Please accept my sincerest condolences on the loss of Adrian. Must be absolutely heartbreaking and though you (and all of us) knew it was coming, I guess the hope was always for some kind of miracle.

I hope the next few days you can find some strength in each other, in Adrian's clearly fantastic friends and somehow or another even in just a small way perhaps in knowing that we're all pulling for you.

If we, the people who didn't know Adrian personally, will miss him, goodness knows how you all feel.

Thank you for the blog Adrian and for bringing this amazing community together and for inspiring a long overdue campaign on Bone marrow registration. Thank you to Adrian's family and friends for 'sharing' him with us.

Liam, must have been so hard for you too to have to write this entry, I hope you're bearing up as well as you can be.

Massive hugs, love, tenderness and thoughts to everyone tonight and sorry for going on.

To the Sudbury Family,

I am saddened by your loss of such a wonderful human being that Adrian was.

I literally gasped when I read the front page of this blog.. words cannot describe the grief that I feel for someone that I've never physically met. I, like others here, became emotionally attached while reading about his fight for life.

With all of the nonsense that is going on in the world today, may we all get the chance to know someone as strong as Adrian.

I am thankful to have been able to know about your Adrian. May his soul rest peacefully and may your memories of him live on the rest of your days.

With much love and respect,

To his Mum, Dad and sister, close family and friends I send my love x
To Adrian - You have my total admiration and respect. Adrian it was a pleasure to be involved in your life and I wish you every happiness as you continue on in the next stage of your journey - never gone, just a little further ahead. Much love to you all x x x

My sympathies are with Adrian's family and friends at this time. The world has lost a brave soul but it is heaven's gain as I'm sure that is where he is, looking down and watching over those he loves.

I came home from work and put the ITV Calendar news on. I was deeply saddened to hear the news that Adrian has died. My heart goes out to his family and friends at this time. Adrian was a a great guy, a real character, and an inspiration to us all. I, for one, will be registering my name on the bone marrow transplant list.

Adrians Mum, Dad, Sister, other family members and all his friends.
I was so sorry to hear that Adrian has lost his fight for life but the fight for his campaign is far from over. I for one, like many others will continue to make Adrians dream a reality.

I have confirmation the sixth form in Robert Smyth will hold the talk and hope to have that arranged for early autumn. I also think we are close to getting agreement to roll it out to all Leicestershire schools. Well done Adrian.

My thoughts are with you all.

My Heart goes out to his family and those who new and loved him. Such a sad unjustified loss.
At least he did not die in vein. We; that is, Adrain's army will fight for his cause until the very end.

Such a very sad day for Adrian's family. He showed amazing courage and achieved so much.

So many people want to change the world and leave a lasting legacy; Adrian was one of the rare individuals who actually did. I know that Adrian's Army will carry on working to achieve his goals; I'm sure that his efforts will ultimately save many lives.

Goodbye Sudders. My love and best wishes to his family and friends.

Keith and Kay - My most sincere condolences for your loss. Your sons remarkable impact on the lives of so many and his candid glimpse into his difficult journey will be remembered by countless for years to come.

I pray for your peace, comfort, and most of all, your continued joy in the life that your son lead.

Liam - Greatest thanks for your continued support of Adrian's efforts to reach the world and alert us all of the importance of bone marrow donation and all the other things he desired to see changed. You were a true friend and there is no doubt that you meant a great deal to him.

To those grieving the loss of Adrian as I am today, peace and grace be with you. May we all go forth with the same passion for living as Adrian did.

Cry, laugh, remember... You will have so many happy memories of Adrian to treasure always.

Hugs to the Sudbury family on what must have been a long sad day.
Candle lit, music on, hope you can hear it you special man. Love to all.

I've only been reading Adrian's blog for approx. 1 month and I too have been struck by all that he accomplished in his 27 years.

Please accept my condolences (from Canada).

My love goes out to the Sudburys, Liam and all his friends. I have been reading Adrians blog for a couple of months now and have been amazed and inspired by all he has achieved. My thoughts and love go out to you, I just dont know what to say, I will miss him so much xxx he did it all in such style xxx

If only we all lived so passionately, so well, so full of life and with such dedication -- what a world that would be.

To Mr and Mrs. Sudbury, Carrie, Liam and Katie -- thank you for sharing Adrian with us. With deepest condolences & sympathy and much love.

I have just logged on with the thought let's see how my mate is doing today. It feels so strange to think of him that way as I have never met him but his words touched my soul.

It feels very sad to think he has gone, but so good to know that he is no longer suffering.

Mr and Mrs Sudbury, you had a special son who's memory will live on through his campaign. I wish all your family the best of luck for your future without him.

And Adrian, I hope they do a lovely pork pie for you in Heaven.

God Bless

So, so sorry to hear the news that we all expected but did not want to hear. For Adrian's sake I am glad his suffering was not drawn out any longer and that he is at peace. He made a real difference and there are few people who leave this earth having achieved that. In your darkest moments may the love that we all have for Adrian comfort you.
I hope he is up there eating Haribo and playing with Sonic!

Dearest Kay, Keith and Carrie,

I am so so sad for your loss. His cyber family will miss him so much so I can hardly wonder how you must be feeling.

I am so grateful that I followed this blog and got to know Adrian so well. His passion, selflessness, sense of humour and downright honesty was such an inspiration to so many people. Thank you for sharing him with us all and hope we didn't become a burden during the last few weeks? Trouble is we all care so so much, remarkable really as we hadn't met him but felt we knew him.

I am glad he was with you when he passed and glad he was at home and it was peaceful.

We will all carry on his fight for him.

Liam and Katie, thanks for all you input into this and for keeping us updated. You were lucky to know him personally so this must be a very sad time for you. My thoughts are with you all.

RIP Adrian. xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I've been trying to find the right words to express how deeply sorry I am for Adrian's family and friends.
They are just not there.

Sending you my sincere condolences and love.

To Mr & Mrs Sudbury, Carrie, Liam and everyone who shared Adrian's life.

Just couldn't find the words to write all day. Started this post so many times and gave up. But then realised 'Hello ? Adrian never gave up! and neither did you all too - ( That is
Adrian's wonderful circle of family and friends.)

That made me feel quite humble and selfish and made me think that I should follow by your family's example of stregnth.

So here I post...(feeling really inadequate)
I will miss checking in on you every day Adrian.
Who's going to encourage me to listen to Gordon Brown now?

I am so sad to read of the loss of Adrian, a remarkable young man who I never met but inspired me to join the bone marrow register - as I know he did many others too.

He really was a special person, and my thoughts go to his family who have supported him so lovingly throughout his illness. x

YOU OF COURSE!! BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU INTENDED TO DO.. AND SUCCEEDED.
Much love and Thank You for sharing your your time with us

I'm staring out into the night
And trying to hide the pain
I'm going to the place where love
can feel but they dont live the cost of fame
In pain it feels a different kind of pain
I'm going home to the place where I belong
where your love has always been enough for me
I'm running from you know I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home
The miles are getting longer it seems
The closer I get to you.... babe
And I've always been the best man and friend for you
To love and make true and I dont know why
You always seem to give me another try
I'm going home
To the place where I belong
Where your love has always been good enough for me
I'm running from you know I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
Be careful what you wish for
cause you just might get it all
you just might get it all and then some you dont want
be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all
I'm going home to the place where I belong
Where your love has always been enough for me
And I'm running from.. you know I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me'
But these places and these faces are getting old
But these places and these faces are getting old
I'm going home
I'm going home

Lyrics By Daughtry

God bless a wonderfull and courageous man

I just want you, Kay Keith and Carrie, to know that we will not let Adrian's campaign and his memory go. We will keep him alive. You concentrate on yourselves, leave the rest to us. We have broad shoulders and we are ready to take on the campaign.
I still don't know what I can say. Words fail me. He was so special to us all. Life is so very unfair...
You know Adrian will be very proud of you all.
Loads of love,

LEGEND!!! i lost my younger bro to leukeamia a year ago, everything adrian wrote was exactly the same for our family. if everyone did just half as much as adrian did in his short life, then maybe we could put an end to this suffering. adrian you are an inspiration to us all and i for one will never forget what you have done. well done fella, rest in peace.

Just checking in again as I find it difficult to sleep today.It is 2.30am here.

Keith, Kay and Carrie,all of you are lucky to have Adrian as a Son and Carrie you too for having such a brother.

I know you all are having a very bad time, but they say time heals it all.Hope so.

I am feeling better when compared to what I was thinking,may be Adrian is giving me enough strength.I find it difficult to sleep today but I think I can manage.

Dear Keith and family,
A colleague phoned me this morning to tell me that Adrian had died.
I am so very sorry for you. The grief of losing a child is beyond imagining.
I can only hope that Adrian's extraordinary legacy is a solace to you. In his short life he changed the lives of others. And so he changed the world for the better.
I followed Adrian's blog from its early days. I edit one of Trinity Mirror's papers in North Wales and as a fellow blogger I wrote a piece about his story. I was delighted when Adrian sent me a note of thanks and it is something I will treasure.
All that's left to say is that you have a son you will always be proud of.

Dear Sudbury family and circle of friends,
Mere words of course cannot express my sympathy at the loss of your (and dare we say "our") dear Adrian.

Everything has been said before really, and more eloquently than I can do at the moment. Just know that we thank you for sharing Adrian with us, we give thanks that he's finally not suffering and above all that was what he wanted, and he will live on in all our hearts and minds.

I'm so sorry for your loss but am so grateful to have gotten to know Adrian even a small bit through his blog. Just goes to show what a truly remarkable person he was that he could create such a response from so many.

My prayers are with you and may you all find the peace that Adrian has right now.

What a legacy Adrian has left for us all. We send our heartfelt condolences to you Kay, Keith, and Carrie, as well as the entire Sudbury family. His memory will live on through the impact he has had on so many of us around the world.

I will never forget hearing my mom saying "there are no matches" when a search was done for marrow. Adrian, carried the torch, bringing a tremendous awareness for the need of donors. Thank you Adrian!

May each of you find comfort for the days ahead, knowing that Adrian will never be forgotten.

I had a feeling before I ever opened this site and still I cried. I just want to say thank you. Thank you to Adrian's mom, dad, sister, Liam and friends. Thank you for sharing Adrian with the world. Thank you for your never ending love and support of Adrian and his dreams. Thank you for making these last few months so full of love and memories for him and yourselves. You all did a MAGNIFICENT job.

Very upsetting to hear this saddest of news.

I hope that Adrian's family can feel comforted by the massive strides that he took towards raising awareness of the bone marrow donor scheme. His selfless actions will help so many people in the future. It has been an education for me and I don't use the word lightly when I say that he was an inspiration.

RIP Adrian. You shall be missed by more people than you can possibly imagine.

Your legacy will live on, you truly are an inspiration to you us all.

Adrian,

Lost for words. RIP.

Dear Kay, Keith and Carrie, friends and family, much love to you all in this awful time. Hope the love and support of your cyberfamily is of some slight comfort. If I thought that anyone would miss me half of one percent as much as we're all going miss Adrian, I'd leave this planet a happy woman (and most of us never even met him!) What a legacy he has left! Adrian: you're a shooting star leaping through the sky! Rest easy, gorgeous boy xx

He was one of those people who comes to show us all the good that there can be in people -not perfect, not without faults but truely kind, honest, courageous and inspirational - an angel sent to earth to help teach us all.

He will continue to be an angel, teaching us all, but he will do it from a different place -a place without pain.

To all fellow bloggers

I have had over 12 hours for the news to sink in...now I cry for someone I never knew but have followed for over 18 months. Adrian's blog was not just inspirational but a true journalistic account of his life since being diagnosed with leukaemia. I am determined that the the talks will go ahead in schools which will be his legacy.

For now, like Tash and many others who have follwed his blog, I will forever miss his witty, forthright and honest accounts of his journey to the last.

Adrian, We Salute You.

Love, tears and peace

Safe journey Adrian.
To all of his family and friends, love and light.
He really has made us all sit up and take notice.....of the illness, what needs to be done to help combat it and he has helped us to become better people, cherishing what we have and thinking of others just that bit more.
Adrian has certainly earned his wings.
Much love to Mum, Dad, Carrie ( not forgetting Liam) Val xXx

The day we dreaded has come and it has hit as hard as I feared it would. My sincere condolences for all of Adrian's family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you all and with Adrian as always. In such a short time, he touched so many lives and did so much good for so many folks. Truth be told, we may never know how many lives he's touched. This Friday, I will do my traditional toast to Adrian. Our loss is definitely heaven's gain. A final 'I love you' to Adrian. I will think of you often.

The light that burns twice as bright burns only half as long and Adrian's burned very very brightly indeed. He has been an inspiration and my heart both weeps and rejoices on this day for him. Love you buddy and we'll meet someday!

With both joy and sadness,

Ashley

As a mom myself I can only say that I am so very sorry for your loss. I know you have to be so proud of this young man. He has caught ahold of my heart these last few weeks.... God bless you all.

Thinking of Adrian's family and friends.

Good night bright light, good night. Your job is done here, rest easy.

My thoughts go out to his family & friends.

Sunrise in London, has been pouring rain all night.

Staring staring staring at it

Rest in peace Adrian,you will be dancing with the angels. Keith,Kay,Carrie your son and brother is an inspiration to us all and will never be forgotten, thank you for sharing him with us, he has touched many many people.....one in a million.

Love to all of you and yours...
Nickix

After yesterdays initial shock, however much I expected it, I have just awoken to the realisation that our Adrian has gone. I am so sorry Kay and Keith, as a mother my heart bleeds for you, no parent should ever have to lose a child. Carrie, I also feel for you so much, he really was a wonderful brother to you, wasn't he. Many of us can only dream of siblings like him!

It is unreal how a virtual stranger has touched our lives so, even though most of us here never had the pleasure of meeting him. Perhaps one day. As a blog fan I will miss his posts terribly and still can't believe it is over, though I am glad there will be no more suffering for him.

I'll be cracking open a beer and a bag of haribo in your memory this Friday, Adrian!

Love Caroline xxx

Thinking of you all. In such sad times, I only hope that you have pride in such a selfless, brave (though he didn't consider himself that, did he?), and determined young man.

Your son, grandson, brother, friend, should be known. He should be written about, and talked about. He changed people. That's something!!

This man, had a goal. To educate people in his country about bone marrow donation. He had no idea did he? He is everywhere!! Did he even imagine that?

My sympathies to you all. As I am, I'm sure you are all so proud to have known and love, the one that I consider to be the greatest man that I've never met.

I will miss him so, and think of him always...

All my thoughts,
Victoria

Good night

Thinking of you all at this sad time. Adrian was a wonderful son, brother and friend to you all and touched the hearts of so many strangers online.
You must be very proud of him x

I am so sorry to hear that news, he was an inspiration to many.

My thoughts are with you all at this sad time. Sweet dreams Adrian.

To Adrian's family and friends,

I walked around the house trying to think of the right words to say. Three hours passed and I still can't exactly express how I feel. You don't often find people like Adrian in this world; people who are so honest, humorous and willing to share . He was unique indeed. It must be so hard for all of you to accept the fact that Adrian is no longer with us. I am in shocked and really sorry for this great loss.

I am just a girl from Taiwan, a tiny little island that you probably won't find on some maps. I have never spoke to Adrian face to face, but we shared the hardest part of life through words and that was very touching to me. In my heart I felt so close to him, even though we were physically far away from each other.

This is such awful news but it is good to know that he died peacefully in his sleep. That's the best way to go. Your beloved son will be missed and remembered in many people's lives...including mine.

Elin

Mr. & Mrs Sudbury, Carrie, Liam, Poppy and everyone else who loved him so dearly - my deepest, dearest condolences.

Hmm… It is still so hard to comprehend. Even though I knew this post would come, it still hit like a ton of bricks. I cried all day at work. I wanted to comment earlier but couldn't quite piece the words together.

Adrian is the boy who brought me closer.

He brought me closer to the person that I wanted to be and awakened things in me that had been dormant for quite a while. I've told him before that the only word I could come up with for him was "mind blowing" and I still feel that way. Even those words don't come close to describing him.

I'll never forget Adrian and I will work with Liam and the rest of the Army to continue his work of bringing awareness to blood cancers, in particular bone marrow donation.

His light may have been far too short on this earth, but he really could pack a house. Influencing politicians, lobbying for bone marrow transplants, winning awards & making perfect strangers friends - he did a lot! The world was really so lucky to have him. I can only be glad now that he is no longer hurting and I can only hope that our paths will cross again, perhaps in a more permeable way, in another life.

I wish only peace for you all - the Sudbury family and friends of Adrian. You are in my thoughts every day.

Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a signing bird will come. - A Chinese proverb

Lots of love with everything I have from the bottom to the top, Bethany

p.s. I ended up writing quite a long post about my experience with Adrian's plight and his blog but it was far too long to leave on here. If anyone is interested please read it at:

Cant help but check in as usual. This young man has created such a wonderful cyber family and I am proud to be part of it. Only time will help to ease the dreadful sorrow that those who were honoured to be part of his life must now be feeling. My every thought is wishing you strength at this awful time. I picked up my sons GCSE results this morning and although he did well and I am extremely proud I would not have been upset if he had not. Our priorities should and must always be that we keep them close and if we cant we make sure they know that we love them. Chris

From a mother who has lost a child I do indeed feel your pain. A very brave and inspirational young man. RIP Aidian and my deepest sympathy to you all.
Carol

You were born a star!
RIP Aidian

He left us the way he wanted: in his sleep... He had the chance not many people have, to close all "open" issues and most importantly to say "goodbye" to all those he wanted to.
Rest in peace, Adrian.
We will meet one day.
Deepest condolences to the heroes left behind: the parents and those that stood by him, like you Liam!

Love
Panos, Greece

Rest in peace Adrian

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sudbury, and to all of Adrian's friends and family.

I was truely sorry to learn of Adrian's passing. Even though expected, the pain is just as unbearable. I am lucky to have had an insight into his personality through this blog and it is down to unselfish, tireless and relentless work by people like Adrian that retains my faith in mankind. If everybody adopted his attitude to life then the world would be a far better place for everyone.

No more pain or frustration, I am happy that Adrian is somewhere better off and no doubt he will continue to watch you all with a proud smile right across his face.

God bless you all. x

adrian, u are a shining star, an inspiration and a true hero. you will never be forgotten.you will always be in our thoughts. xxxxxx

Rest in peace Adrian. Lost but not forgotten.

Dearest Kay, Keith, Carrie, family & friends.
I just had to hop in to say that I hope you are feeling quite strong this morning.
What's happened to you is the worst thing that could happen to a family but you are all very close and that will help, I'm sure.

Said all I wanted to say about Adrian yesterday and over the last few months so you all know how I , like many others feel.

Try to smile and laugh a little at the memories knowing that when you do we are all smiling back.
As always Love, kisses, hugs and soothing thoughts to you and yours.
Heart to Heart

I know that words can't being Adrian back,but we all have to think of the wonderful work that he has done. I for one will contimue to promote it at the college where I work. My deepest condolences to Adrians family and friends. Gone but NEVER forgot. x

Have this habit of checking "Baldy's Blog, I will continue it as long as it is there.(Never liked to use the word Baldy.)

There will always be someone like me who checks Adrian's blog everyday, many times whether somebody post a reply or not.

Miss you Adrian!Wherever you are be happy!

Shiney

Sudbury Family,

You're all in my thoughts and prayers today. No words are the right ones, but I just wanted you to know that all the love that surrounded your son when he was still on this earth, is now also stretched around you all like a big, warm blanket. All of us here on the blog will never forget Adrian, nor will we ever be able to forget you, his incredible mum, dad and sister, not to mention all his wonderful, supportive friends. Yes, Sudburys are as tough as old boots -- he was right. You will all carry on and make him proud. We all will.

Mr and Mrs Sudbury,

I am very sorry for your loss. I know myself and a lot of others will be keeping this campaign up for and in memory of Adrian. You should be very proud of him, he was a star!!

Night night Adrian...

xx xx xx

Never the blog I wanted to be reading but after a few days at home for an exam I came on during work today to check on Adrian's blog to find the awful news.

Sudbury family this post is to you, I wish you comfort during this awful time and although nothing can make this any easier on your family know that you are being thought of and loved by so many people....

People that your son touched in so many ways, he has left a lasting legacy and his work to promote bone marrow donation is one that is not going to stop here.

You should be so proud of Adrian as I am sure you are. Sadly he only had a short life but what he achieved in such a short time is more than many of us can hope to achieve in our lifetime... flip the PM called him :)

Again, I wish you all the comfort in the world and I am truly sorry for your loss.

Just remember that the love that surrounded Adrian during his battle now surrounds your family.

All my love
Rebecca Magowan xoxo

Was hoping for a miracle, but not to be.
God Bless to all the Sudburys and their friends. We are all thinking of you with love.

Sleep peacefully, Adrian

May God comfort all who feel this loss. Not a post any of us wanted to read and I am sure one that nobody wanted to write. Thank you to Keith and Liam for the post. Yesterday I was away from my computer but somehow knew what I would find this morning. So sorry he is gone from our world. He will be greatly missed.

Love to you all and Peace be with you.

You were clearly a remarkable young man!

My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this sad time..

Godbless xxx

Not able to forget his smiling face and even now difficult to beleive that he is gone.

Sometimes I do think I shouldn't have read Adrian's blog,ofcourse cant forget the positive points.It is too painful, and I can never forget Adrian in my life, so the pain will be there as long as I am alive.May be time heals.

Hope Adrian's family is recovering from the initial shock.

Love and peace to all!

RIP Adrian. You are truly a role model and an inspiration to others and will always be.

You will never be forgotten.

My condolences goes out to the Sudbry family.

Sleep peacefully Adrian in the Angels Arms.

Rest in Peace Adrian.

Deepest condolences to you all.
Sat here crying at this moment, but know that we can all carry on his pledge.
Rest in Peace Adrian.

Love to all Adrian's family, and close friends, and to my fellow bloggers.

Still totally unable to believe our lovely boy has gone; his gorgeous shining smile is embedded in my mind. I so looked forward to his posts and updates from the family, and he was in my thoughts much of the time. So terribly sad right now.

I shall be drinking a beer to Adrian in a moment (will save the haribo for another night). Just a shame he wasn't able to partake of his fave beverage in his last few weeks, so I will make sure my beer is especially large to make up for that. I rarely drink so I am sure he would be laughing at my antics after just one glass...

Can't help checking this blog, it has become such a habit. I read every single comment posted, and recognise so many names now.

Am thinking of you Kay, Keith and Carrie - and you, Liam (and helpers). Adrian left his campaign and blog in good hands.

Love Caroline xxx

When my time comes, I hope I face it with as much courage, character and fortitude as you showed.

With luck I hope I'll get to shake your hand in the next world.

Rest easy.

Dear Keith, Kay and Carrie,

I just wanted to send my deepest condolences to you all. Every so often someone comes along who touches the lives of both people that they meet and people that they don't. They are rare and wonderful people and if they put their mind to it they can move mountains. Adrian was such a person. You must be so proud of him, of what he achieved and the good humour with which he went about it. You should also be proud of yourselves, you all made him what he is and that makes you as special as he was. He was a truly remarkable man who will never be forgotten.
Lots of Love

lost track how many times I caught myself staring at the wall today

or caught myself with head in hands

caught intermittent tears, surprising

really more than a day ?

HE WAS JUST HERE

no

I am so so sorry for the loss of such an amazing young man. Adrian was sent here for a purpose - to teach us all about bone marrow donations and how to be a survivor in his own right. The angels called him back home.

May he rest in peace and his memory live on.

All my thoughts, prayers, and love are with you.

A hero in my eyes. The awareness raised will be your legacy. Sleep well Adrian

So saddened by the loss of a great young man. Sleep tight Adrian xxx

I am so sorry for your loss. My Mum died in January this year and I miss her so much, I can't imagine how as parents you must feel, I have 2 daughters similar ina eg to Adrian. Although Mum was 75 her death was still quite sudden (3months) her death was due to cancer and found such strenghth in reading Adrian's blog. I signed Adrian's (petition (also trying to get other support from friends and family~)and only on Monday 20th August (tried to do it earlier) re-donated blood to enable me to sign up for the National blood donor Bone Marrow register. Mission accomplished, as I had to do this before my 50th birthday (Jan 2009!!) I hope I can donate to help someone as couragous as Adrian.
Sally-Anne

What sad news but your commitment to the awareness of bone marrow donation will live on. Adrian, you will be missed so much by so many.
Love to your family.
Rest in peace my lovely.

Massive hole left. But even more massive are impressions left.

So sorry.

To all of Adrian's family and friends,

Adrian was an amazing person who changed the world. Because of his work and honestly and willingness to share his experiences, people who never knew him will have their lives extended and saved.

I never met Adrian in real life, but he has been an inspiration to myself and many others. I hope his passing was peaceful and painless and he is in a better place now.

Sleep well, Adrian

Love Embi, Australia

A son, brother, grandson, friend, so much more - and a Lifesaver too! What an awesome man Adrian will always be.

He will definitely be deeply missed and a part of his campaign will be continued in a blood and marrow drive on October 25th in Soddy Daisy, Tennessee, to add to the Marrow Donor Registry. This drive will be a part of Adrian's Army, in Memory of Adrian and in honor of my son, Steven. And so Adrian's efforts and legacy will be passed on.

Kay, Keith and Carrie - my heart breaks for the emptiness you must be feeling, I am deeply sorry for your loss and pain.

Sending you love and light - lots of it

Sleep Well Adrian.

Your will never be forgotten.

I heard this the other day..
In life, it's not about the cards that you are dealt but how you choose to play the hand.
Adrian certainly knew how to play the game. He took Life and squeezed all he could from it. My admiration for such a remarkable young man, who put others before himself, is endless.
With love, Sarah B x x x

Sleep tight dearest Adrian,

You were an inspiration and will never be forgotten, my sincere condolances to the Sudbury family and all of Adrian's friends.

"life isn't measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." Adrian, you certainly took our breath away every day. Go well into your new journey.

I havent read here for some days, so when i went in and had a look, i wasnt prepared for hes pass away =( so i feel sad for him and hes parents. Ive been following hes notes for some months, and ive read it all. I knew he was on hes last stages, but still im chocked, cause i was hoping the doctors went wrong so he could have lived abit longer. Im gonna light a candle for him. Also ive linked this page on my own blogg, so ppl from sweden can read too.
Im going on bone marrow transplant in 4 weeks too. Hugs and kisses from Marie/sweden

R.I.P Adrian, may you rest in peace m8!

To all of Adrian's family and friends
I can only echo what everybody else says: I'm so sorry that you have lost one of life's truly fantastic people.

So many people say they want to make a difference with their life, however long or short it may be. But only a special few actually do something about it.

The campaign will continue to grow - of that there is no doubt. Cancer may be able to deprive this world of one of its finest people, but Adrian's legacy is already huge and I'm sure we're only witnessing the start of it.

Once again, to Adrian's family and friends: you should be so proud of him.

wishing you all the very best

Thinking of you Adrian.

Today it is very quiet.

Thanks for all of you who are working behind this blog-Liam,Katie Campling,Dan and I think there will be many more.Even if I dont mention all these nice friends of Adrian, they are all in my thoughts.

Yesterday I was again going through Adrian's posts and again came across "2 blocks"( I dont know exactly what some words mean..)Ben Hunter and Olie( second part is little difficult for me to remember!), seeing that picture of "2 happy blocks" makes me smile.

I am glad that I came to know about all these nice people through Adrian.And I got somany nice friends from all over the world - that through Adrian.Before I had only very few friends and was always careful in selecting friends.Now I have changed, I think I am little more open.

All credits goes to Adrian.

Shiney

As everyone else has already said: deepest condolences. I've been quietly following Adrian's story for months, and I knew that the end was coming but it's still sad to see it in print. My thoughts go to his family and friends at this time, and a message that says sometimes life is awful to behold, but it does all go somewhere. We are just transient beings, so what matters is what we do in the world and leave to its care. Adrian has done the most wondrous thing with his campaign and blog and searing honesty. Immortality is his.

Tadhg

Read the post on the 20th and only now re-reading it have I found myself sheding the tears I knew would come, so wanted to add a wee message to all those thoughtfully written in the last few days.

May Adrian sleep peacefully now he is no longer in pain...but may 'sudders' continue working tirelessly to make his fellow angels smile :-)

Thinking of his parents, sister, grandma, liam, poppy and all those whose names i don't know but who loved him and must now feel the loss.

Though I never knew you, I think everyone who has heard your story has been touched. You've left a lasting impression on this earth, and you'll be remembered.

Please take my deepest and sincerest condolences to Sudbury family, friends and relatives. I may maybe one strange person who came for the country of Philippines but reading Adrian's battle for cancer of the blood is definitely an inspiration for everybody to live life to the fullest.

For you Adrian, may you rest in peace! I'm pretty sure you'll be surely missed by those people whom you touches their lives. And may your legacy will remain. God speed!

Rest in peace Adrian.

Compassion and love to all your family members.
Your legacy will never be forgotton and will stand the test of time through mouth, legeslation and cyber space.

Truely a great man. This world certainly needs more of them.

I got home last night from a 10-day trip without internet and was hoping that this post would not be here.
For a person I never met, Adrian touched me deeply. I wish his family love and peace, your loss is felt by many people.
Take care and take this time to share and reflect on your your son/brother has done.

Having just returned from my holiday I was really saddened to log on and read the news. I always looked forward to reading Ads blogs when I logged on in the morning to find out what news he had for his online family. I will miss him greatly , though Im sure not to the extent that you will have after knowing and living alongside someone so special. You should be so proud of what adrian has achieved and i hope his legacy will continue to live on.

Rest In Peace Adrian.

Many condolences.

I just cant get the words to say how sorry i am to have read ths today. Your Son and Brother was simply the best. I never met Adrian personaly but with the few emails we wrote i feel i knew him well. He inspired me and i did my bit for his cause. Please keep strong now and forever. Adrian will not be forgoten by me or anyone else he touched. I will be thinking of you all.

Much Love

Have had several days now for the news to sink in and have already posted on Liam's Book of Condolence. But I find myself still checking this blog several times a day - just a habit I guess, or may be it's a forlorn hope that what's happened is just not true. It's so difficult for us to take in I can't even begin to imagine how his family must feel now. I only hope that they can take some small comfort from the number and content of all these posts.

I hope we can all stay in touch through this blog and make sure that Adrian's message continues in his absence. He has certainly inspired me, as I'm sure he has countless others.

God bless you Adrian, and all your lovely family and friends.

Much love,
Joanne.

Never posted on this blog before but have been following the Adrian story since I saw him on BBC News.

You were a true inspiration to everybody Adrian and although I never got to know you, you seemed like a brilliant, brilliant person.

I'm sure many people in the UK will feel 100 times better for having seen or known you.

Thank you for the humour, the wittiness and Baldy's Blog. RIP

It's so hard to believe it has been a week since Adrian has left. I've thought about him every day just as before but now I know he is at peace. He has touched a place in all of our hearts. I'll never forget you Adrian. No one will.

Rest Now Sweet Prince......

adrian was such an inspiration, i first heard him in may on radio5 and his account brought me to tears,since then i have been a regular visitor to his blog,
rest in peace mate

Adrian I never met you or spoke to you but I learned so much from you. You were one of the most amazing, inspirational people it has ever been my privilege to come across and I am lost for words. I hoped hoped hoped you would get better. My thoughts are with your family and friends - I don't know what to say. God bless you and keep you safe. I will never forget you xxxx

So sad.....
Adrian achieved more in his tragically short life than most in a lifetime.
I hope you have found eternal peace and freedom from pain.

I'm so sad to hear that Adrian has passed away. Please let me offer my deepest sympathy to you all - you are a wonderful family and Adrian was a wonderful person.

I am a young cancer patient in remission and Adrian was and continues to be a true inspitarion to me. He gripped the world with his truly amazing good looks, humour, strength, ambition and given us all an insight into his journey.

I will remember Adrian and you, his family in my nightly prayer. That just show the world how Adrian has gripped the world.

Rest in peace Adrian.

Adrian,
You had true grit right to the end. A fighter in every sense of the word. If anyone can do the impossible, it's you Adrian so what you have started, we can and will finish for you!
What a honour and pleasure it will always be to have known you and your family.
You can now rest easy in your garden of peace
Sincerest commiserations to Kay, Keith & Carrie I know how so very proud they are of you.

I didn't know Adrian well, but very much appreciated his postings on one of the cancer listserves I'm on--and his work to promote bone marrow donation. He also was so kind to send me info for a column I wrote on "playing the cancer card." I am so very sorry to hear of his passing.

I had lost touch with this blog for the past month. Life got in the way I guess. I am not shocked a month later to hear this terrible news. I started reading Adrian's Blog when my grandfather passed away from a similar blood cancer. I can't express my sympathy enough. He was an inspiration to me in a time I really needed to believe that there was still good in the world...even after cancer has claimed a life. The world died a little with Adrian...but was born again through the hope and determination he provided. God Bless.

Only just found out about Adrian's passing and I'm very sad to hear about it. I heard him on radio 5 live and his positive attitude to his illness and life was an inspiration to me.

I just want to pass on my deepest heartfelt sympathy to his family and friends. He was a true fighter and a really nice guy.

God bless

I just came across Adrian's interviews on You Tube and found him inspirational. My husband Mark died of acute myeloid leukaemia this January. He shared Adrian's positive approach,focussing on the things that matter and refusing to give into destructive self-pity. I give thanks daily for the example of people like Adrian and Mark who remind us that we have one wild wonderfully productive life to be lived to the full, however long or short. My prayers for the family and friends - may you know peace and gratitude for this outstanding gift in your lives.

Another timeless beautiful writing of last century - still accurate and true in our current hectic days of blogging, sms and emailing.

People do not die immediately for us, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life...
It is as though they were travelling abroad.

I listened regularly to Adrian on Victoria Derbyshire's Show on Radio 5 - I hope more is done with regard to bone marrow donation which Adrian fought so hard for. My thoughts are with his family.

I saw Adrian on the news whilst visiting family in the UK from New York a couple of months ago. Am gutted he passed on, such an inspiration. What a following he has; such devoted family and friends. And what a generous legacy he has left behind. A truly amazing young man. I know just how proud of him you are. My mother is going through 2 transplants for multiple myeloma (this unfortunately also is incurable). I send my sincere condolences and very best wishes.

I may be 3 years late but I wish to pass on my sincere best wishes to all who Adrian left behind. My 11 month old granddaughter is fighting the same courageous battle with AML as Adrian fought so bravely, so I am seeing first hand exactly what Adrian described in this amazing, inspiring and thought provoking blog. His truth and spirit have astounded me, I am so grateful and humbled to have read his words and believe me his words still speak very loud and clearly. God bless you Adrian.

After 4 years passed your still in my thoughts have never forgotten this blog and I'm so pleased I got to speak with you one time via email

R.i.p aide never forgotten
