RIP BRENT POPE

[Celticdruid]

I am sorry to hear the very sad news of the passing of Mr Brent Pope this morning. May he rest in peace and my thoughts and condolences are with his wife and family. A fighter until the very end Brent. Rest in Peace.

Wow, that's a shocker, great guy to chat with, wicked sense of humour and as a player served the Devils well. Very sad.

Sad news, RIP Brent

OMG that is sad, totally unexpected RIP fella.

Goodness me what a shock. As a player, a good servant to the Club. RIP Brent. Thoughts and prayers with his wife and family.

I’ve deleted my thread which with the news confirmed came across a bit flippant which wasn’t the intention. I think it’s safe to say Brent had a love hate relationship with the Devils fans and the-inferno but genuinely cared for the club and worked hard for it and always had time for us. 49 is no age. Rest well Brent.

It is very sad news and Brent did indeed care for the club but I understand your comment. He was very open about his medical diagnosis and his treatment but unfortunately this was one battle to many and he leaves behind his wife and young children whom it was clear to see he idolised.

That is really sad news. Thoughts are with his family.

Very sad to hear this. I know Brent was not everyones cup of tea but I always had a lot of respect for him. He was one of the few players who took the Learn to Play seriously and tried to make us the best we could be despite many of us being like Bambi on ice.

Sad news. It obviously went very sour towards the end but I’ve got some great memories of Brent’s time at the Devils as a player. The 97 superleague win and the 99 play offs in Manchester. RIP Brent

Dont know if anyone wants to know the background but this is from Brent himself earlier this year. It was a bitter end to his time in Cardiff but i enjoyed watching him play & lustening to his commentary. May he rest in peace & sincere condolences to his family

Solid player and a wonderful commentator. He would carry solo commentary effortlessly where others would struggle. A joy to listen to. Made the Olympics accessible to everyone from hockey newbies to experienced watchers. Very talented.

Desperately sad news for someone still so young.

Thoughts with his wife and young children at this dreadful time.

I never had the pleasure of watching Brent Pope play or the opportunity to speak with him, but awfully sad news and condolences to all his family and friends.
