It is with a very heavy heart that I report the death of Chris Brasier (Rusty of this parish) yesterday at the age of 61. He'd been diagnosed with cancer earlier this year but most of us expected him to be around a bit longer especially as he was bombing around on his vintage motorbike just a few weeks ago.

Its probably a few years since he last posted on here - but he kept and excellent blog for a year or so a while back which is well worth seeking out.

RIP Chris one of life's true Gents

I’ve only just seen this, I’m so sorry to hear this awful news. I had the pleasure of fishing with rusty a few times and he was always such good company. He always put as much effort into dinner plans

Rusty had been given a couple of months after he stopped Chemo as it wasn’t working ,sadly he didn’t get that time 

I had been over to see him on a few occasions and was shocked by his weight loss as is normally the case with cancer 

lovely fella who made friends everywhere he went ,I am going to miss our fishing trips 

I know he had a lot of time for you Chris and Paul rip and all the internet anglers

Noma and I only met him once (at a zander fish in) but he was clearly "one of us" and we mourn his passing.

That's terrible news, Chris. Rusty was one of the great characters of this forum, back in the day, and 61 is no age :(
