Both my husband Jimmy & I have worked with Kieron on and off for the majority of our working careers.  Over this time Kieron had become a great friend of who I have many fond memories.

A Great friend and colleague who will be sadly missed!

The tradgedy of Kieron's premature death will have a profound affect on everyone who knew him.

A natural leader who led by example, without complaint and never had a bad word to say about anyone.  Kieron was a great diplomat who greeted everything and everyone with a smile.  He had an eloquence and dignity that rose above any situation and left a lasting impression on all those that came into contact with him.  Kieron possesed qualities that are sadly lacking in todays modern world which will be a poorer place for his passing.

I consider it a privilege and pleasure to have known him because Kieron was above all - A True Gentleman.  My heartfelt condolences go out to all his friends and family at this very sad time.

There are so many great things I could say about Kieron, so where do I start…

I first met Kieron back in 1990 when I was introduced to the motor club and the first thing that struck me was his friendly calm nature. Nothing phased him. I later joined the committee and could see first hand how smoothly and objectively he controlled the club and events. I was involved with the behind the scenes motorsport stuff with Kieron during that time and he was such an inspiration on how he dealt with all the red tape and people.

I still have the yellow baseball hat that he had especially made up for me as Pegasus Sprint start line marshal; such was his thoughts for everyone involved in his events.

As I now live a long way away from Bristol, I was in weekly email contact with Kieron discussing stuff about the club and its future, and he was always keen to bring grassroots motorsport up to date. He was the motor club in every facet.

The one thing that sticks in my mind’s eye and ear, was his smiling face and great laugh, every time we met. He will be dearly missed by everyone that knew him.

My sincere sympathy to his family and friends, for their great loss.

I will always carry his inspiration in human nature and motorsport with me.

Having already written two obituaries for Kieron I thought it might be easier to express my thoughts on this page... Of course it isn't.

The tributes here are testimony to the high regard in which Kieron was held, I can only echo them.

Kieron, it was an honour and a privilege to have known you and to have served on the club commitee with you. I shall always admire your abilility to lead by example and quietly motivate those around you. Your passing is a terrible loss to the club and local motor sport. My deepest sympathy to your family and all who knew you.

I'm finding this very difficult to write - I still can't quite take in what has happened.  I knew Kieron for getting on for 30 years, first as a fellow club member and later as a committee colleague and good friend.  In all that time - as others have already said - he was always good-humoured, unflappable and reassuringly dependable.  You always felt that if Kieron was there, everything would be OK.  And of course he was there, at nearly everything to do with the club, and all the work he put in put most of the rest of us to shame.  I feel so sorry for his Mum and Dad, and all his family.

Goodbye Kieron, and thank you for everything.  We will miss you terribly.

I first met Kieron (or "Kier-ee-on" as I preferred to call him) 21 years ago and over those years I am proud to call him my friend. All the comments on his life by other people are all true, but it is my experiences of the man that are most important to me!

People who know me me, are aware that I am not the quietest of people, but I am at my most subdued now.

Long may his memory live on. It will with me. Paul B.

I first joined the old BACMC in about 1985 with a complete shed of a Mk1 Escort and was immediately made welcome by Kieron asking questions of what I wanted to do with it, was it actually road legal (yes it was) and what sort of motorsport I was interested in.

I stayed in the club for a few years, bought a house, left the car to rot in a garage for 7 years and rejoined in the mid-1990's.  Went along to a club meeting and the first person to come up and ask how I was doing was the same bloke.  We'd both gone grey-haired but he had the same straightforward interest in what I was doing, pleased I still had the same car, pleased to see it actually looked  road legal and really welcoming.

I last saw Kieron at the Castle Combe sprint some weeks ago and he was the same cheery, welcoming guy I'd always known.

I for one will miss him and his true interest in motorsport as a whole and the people involved in it.

What can one say to such a very sad event. Words fail me at the moment.

My thoughts are with Kierons family at this difficult time, thankfully he was with friends doing something he enjoyed when he was taken.

As long as we remember the things Kieron did & the things he taught us, he will never die.
