Sad news, RIP Dez Chand. :(

[Chequered Flag Racing]

I can't believe I'm reading this. Feel priviled to have met, chatted and raced with him once at a Tamworth indoor meeting a couple of years back

Our thoughts are riding with Dez and his close family.

The RC world just got alittle bit smaller, Very Sad news.
RIP Dez

[David Bone]

Such sad news.

R.I.P Dez, It was a privilege to have known you. Have a Coke on me!

Really sad to read such news, RIP Dez

Echo every bodies thoughts, made so much possible for me

[russmini]

Very sad news indeed.

Dez was one of the greats. Always happy, always smiley, would help anyone out, without hesitation.
Such a nice, down to earth bloke who loved life, RC, photography, bikes and Coca-Cola.

I will be raising a bottle of Coke at 1pm today as a toast to Dez. A minutes silence seems wrong, a cheer and a swig of his favourite tipple seems a lot more appropriate.

Anyone with me ?

I used to email with Dez quite a lot, fantastic guy, he took RC bike out of obscurity and made their race scene what it is. His passion for all RC related things was fantastic. Can't believe what I'm reading. I met him at the worlds, such a nice guy.

My thoughts go out to his family and close friends.

[Speedy Steve RRCi]

[cobra_shadow]

Sorry to hear the bad news. I only meet him at the Ardent 24hr but what a great guy and what a great shirt. He will be missed.

Can we all raise a coke at 1pm Sunday 20th Nov in memory of a great guy ?

[crtpromachine]

Dez you were my golden sunshine always smiling and always there when we all needed you as you use to cheer us all up ;

My deepest thought go out to your family at this very sad time and Joy if you need anything at all you have all the rc community to help you and be there for you;

Dez you were a legend to the rc community

So sad to lose such a great friend

[sosidge]

RIP Dez. On the few occasions I was in contact with him his immense passion for the hobby was clear. A great loss.

[Neil Skull]

Really shocking news.
Dez was such a nice guy, I only met him a few times but i will always remember him and his passion for RC, Coke, and photography.
Sad news indeed for his family and all of us who had the pleasure to meet him.

i only met dez a couple of times but was so helpfull when i was at ardent,i think the number of comments and tributes posted on oople and on dez's facebook wall show just how loved and respected the man was by the r/c community.

top bloke will be truely missed thoughts go out to dez's family

[kayce]

Though I've met literally thousands of people through racing and through a hobby we both shared, and in my travails across the globe, I can honestly say that I've not met anyone as genuine and sincere - and just freaking fun - as the late great Dez Chand.

A great man once said, "Only the good die young" - and now I am a true believer. May God rest your soul, Dez, you will be missed.

I'll be tipping back a Coca-Cola today in your honor, I suggest everyone else do the same......

[xfactor]

R.I.P Dez what a top guy no words can explain the shock of this news thoughts with his family.

Lapper.

[eda]

Great guy, always had time for those of us running at the back of the field as well as the top guys.

One for you Dez
