Many of you will have already heard of the very sad news of the sudden passing of a great mate and family man, Jason Riley.

Jason started off as a young Southend grommet almost 30 years ago and his young fella Brodie is a keen little grommet in our Micros division today. Jas loved the water and in particular his fishing.

He leaves behind his beautiful family, wife Nadia and kids Brodie and Kalani, his extended family and a wide network of friends, all of whom are devastated by this heart-breaking loss.

There is a Go Fund Me page set up to help out the family, please consider clicking through to donate a few bucks to help them at this difficult time. https://www.gofundme.com/in-loving-memory-of-jason-riley
