Tragic loss to one so young

Respect and thoughts to the family at this sad time

RIP

thoughts are with you angie and family, too young to die...get our boys home.

Im sure i echo everyones thought's on this young lads life. A true gent will be sorely missed by his family and friends.

Never met the kid, but my heart goes out to his family who have to deal with such a loss.

As i've read the write up in the HDM today, the lad seemed far from fearless, courageous and thoughtful to everyone around him. He'll never be forgotten by his comrades nor his family and friends.

RIP lad.

Very sorry to hear that.

RIP

RIP - And always remembered....

It's great to see the soldiers always get such a warm reception at the KC Stadium.

Deepest sympathy to friends and family.

Stunned to hear of the loss of this brave young man.

Very Brave Young Man, So Sorry To Lose One of Our Own So Young RIP

Sad news but the lads and lasses out there are doing a fantastic job

Respect from Wakey having just lost two lads in Cas

Condolences go out to his family, such a shame that people dont appreciate what they are doing out there. They are heroes yet our government allow them to be tret like criminals by certain minorities.

My condolences also go out the the family of Paul McAleese (Son of the former SAS soldier John) Who died trying to reach Johnathan straight after the explosion.

RIP Kid, Two of my buddy's are from the same battalion, they are devastated.

RIP to the other soldier killed trying to rescue his comrade aswell.

Deepest sympathies to his family.

condolences to the family of the brave young soldier.bring the troops home,and send the yobbos out there.

Condolances to all his friends and family. Its time to start bringing the troops home, not sending out extra troops. Each repatriation gets harder and harder. I wonder when the government is going to start listening to the people of Britain.

RIP

deepest sympathy to family and friends, such a waste of young life i know how the family must be feeling having lost a younger brother in the forces last year.

R.I.P Young

condolences to the family will be sadly missed

So very sad, 18 is no age - Sympathies to his family and friends.

we really should have a bank holiday for all service men. Not just for time off work like alot of people want but id love a day where (being christian,) to got church and pray/rememberence and have a very special day for all our servicemen!

And you dont have to be religous to join in. Pay your respects in your own way in a national day. Long live our brave people!

i agree with that 100% something like patriots day. our boys are always going to be fighting or guarding somewhere there could be killed or seriously injured. we should remember them, and not just on nov 11th

yep and not just a day off work, we should all be forced to goto church or a ritual to pay respects

totally agreed

No, we really shouldn't be indoctrinated to go to a building and offer thanks to a non existant sky pixie.

A tragic loss of life, condolances to his family. There should be a day of recognition for all service personnel (including Police, Fire and Ambulance staff)

I cannot believe any sane human being believes in some omnipotent creature watching over us, those drugs must be strong.

(I dont want to offend anyone, but there's as much evidence to support the [url=http://www.venganza.org/about/Church of Pastafanarianism)[/url as there is for "God"

Im with the dyslexic agnostic, he didn't believe in Dog either!

No its not Karl, though he did once fall asleep at a Hull game a few years ago

Typical, no need for your opinions to come into this thread. For once its not about you or what you think. Thanks to all the other posters whose thoughts are welcomed by all who knew John. RIP Johnathan Andrew Young
