I grew up with Anthony when he lived in Gosport about 10+ years ago before his family moved to Exeter. I was so shocked and saddened to hear the news- it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Thoughts are with the family Gaynor, Paul and Leah xxx. RIP Anthony- it's always the good ones!

There is no justice in this world when a life of someone with so much to live for is taken so young...Tony you were a scholar and a gent and will be sorely missed...R.I.P. my friend!!

A great team player and friend who will sadly be missed by all at Whipton & Pinhoe FC. Heart felt sympothy to his family and fiancee from all the team

Tony was due to marry my cousin Emma in February 2009. Tony will be tremendously missed by all his family and friends alike and will always be remembered as the life and soul of any party. Emma, my heart goes out to you, I'm so so sorry for your loss. To all Tony's family, we are all thinking about you at this impossible time. If there is anything we can do for you, you know where we are. With all my love and deepest sympathies xx

Tony was due to marry my cousin Emma in Sri Lanka in February 09. This is such a tragic accident and we will all miss him tremendously and he will always be remembered as the life and soul of the party. Emma, my heart goes out to you and we all feel your pain. To all Tony's family we are all thinking of you also and we will never forget him. With love always. xx

We didn't know Tony, but RIP from all the players and management at ROCKBEARE RANGERS FOOTBALL CLUB

I bumped into my friend Steve Grant, who told me about Tony's death. Although I didn't know Tony, I'd like to send my deepest sympathy to his fiancée, family and friends. My much-loved Mum died suddenly three years ago - a week before Christmas. It was a complete shock to us all. Remember, Tony will always be in your heart. It might not seem like it now, but the memory of him and his influence on your lives will carry you through the dark times.

I hope you don't mind me leaving this message.
