Oliver Hewitt - aka Jolysaddler
It is with the greatest sadness that I have the terrible duty of reporting the death of Oliver Hewitt at the age of 23. He was known as jolysaddler on this message board.
Oliver passed away during the night, it would appear peacefully. He hadn't been feeling well since the weekend, but was adament it was flu and that he'd be back to normal within a couple of days.
This has come as a complete shock to me, as Im sure it will to you.
At the moment, the family have not been contacted out of respect and our thoughts are with them. I'm sure in due course UTS will provide a fitting tribute to a truly wonderful person.

Update: 15:20
I have spoken to Oliver's step dad, who confirmed the news. The family are in shock, but coping with great dignity. I have passed on deepest condolences from myself, and the members of this board. MMF is presently trying to arrange a fitting tribute for Saturday's game, subject to agreement of the family.

But he was only PMing me early this morning?
I'm deeply, deeply shocked.
Obviously, my thoughts are with all his friends and family.

I really am deeply shocked and saddened by this, I didn't know him for very long, but from what I did know of him he was a great lad, he bought me a drink at Tranmere, and even lent me his season ticket for Tuesday, I mean I even saw him on Tuesday, and he sent me a PM yesterday.
I really am quite speechless.
My thoughts go out to his family.

I heard the news earlier from his mate Rich (Locks a Saddler). I'm shocked. I really don't know what to say.
I have got to know Oli very well over the last year or so and we've become good mates. I can only imagine how all his family and friends such as Phil and Rich must be feeling who have known him a lifetime.
My thoughts are with them and everybody else who knew him.
I'm clinging to the fact that Joe90 had a PM from him this morning and this is some major cruel misunderstanding. I'd certainly rather accept that than the news I am trying to deal with now.

I really am in shock, and I too am really hoping that it is some terrible misunderstanding.

Oh my god! I am deeply saddened and shocked by this news.
I spoke to oli at Tranmere and we was having a little laugh and a few jokes. I cannot believe that he has died.
My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
It just isnt right that a lad as good as Oli and at the age of 23 should die when there are b@stards in this world still living.
R.I.P Joly.

Yeah Oli is the tall one in the dark coat next to TJ in the cream coat.

I have just spoken to his step dad, and he confirmed our worse fears. Oliver has indeed passed away.
Oliver was feeling a bit ill last night, aching a bit - and asked to be woken up to day at 9am to see how he felt to make a decision about going to the doctors.
His family are clearly in shock, but there were good enough to speak to me.
I have passed on deepest condolonces on behalf of myself and those on this board.
I didn't want to ask any questions, I just passed on my deep condolonces, and my telephone number for them to contact me should they need to.
