Inspirational young man, would be fitting to have a minutes applause on cup final day for his achievements in such a short life. RIP.

Have a friend who put it right yesterday on Facebook:

"Glad to see Facebook flooded with condolences to Stephen Sutton, a lad who wanted to live so badly, rather than some celebrity who threw their life away".

RIP indeed.

RIP.

What a truly brave, selfless and inspirational person he was. This current generation of 18-25 year olds are much maligned (mostly correctly) for being selfish, lazy, self-obsessed, with a sense of entitlement no generation before has ever displayed. Stephen proved that there are always exceptions to the rule. To be told at such a young age that he was going to die and then to achieve what he did, to help others, rather than feel sorry for himself, was an amazing thing.

An actual true and real loss to this world.

He demonstrated a Courage not often seen in the majority not only of young people today, but in the general populace. A "Warrior" in the best sense of the word, may he Rest In Peace.
