Happy Jack Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I am desperately sorry to have to tell you that tjkennelly has just died. Tim had achieved his life's ambition, to go on tour with a metal band. His band (their name is now quite appalling - [i]After Death[/i]) had reached Brazil and went swimming yesterday on a day off. One of the guitarists got into difficulty in heavy surf and Tim tried to go to his aid. They both drowned. Tim was 18 and a good friend of my daughter's. He spent many hours playing my basses (and drooling over them) and it was me who introduced him to Basschat. He was a really lovely guy and I thought of him as a friend and fellow musician, rather than as one of my daughter's mates. Tim came from a background that was far from privileged. His performance in school was impressive and he would have gone to university in the autumn. What he achieved in his short life was down to his native intelligence, his dedication, and his excellent sense of humour. I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am to be writing this. I will really miss Tim. Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an article about it in the Standard tonight, complete with a nice picture of Tim in his Basschat T Shirt. My condolences to his family and friends, and to you and your daughter, Jack.
