News only just reached me, really shocked. Same as everyone on here: such a kind and very funny bloke. You will be missed mate. RIP.

Shocked and saddened. A good friend who helped me when he was clearly meeting his own demons. A friend to me. Goodbye mate and thank you. Can't believe it.

Just heard this from mates back in Plymouth. Pretty certain this is Pete who was a domcare trainer with Housing 21. Always a good laugh with plenty of banter, smart bloke, always kind. One of the good guys as they say. Talked about his kids so much, really tragic. Thanks Pete for everything and thoughts go to his family x

Such a sweet, kind, funny guy. A terrible end, so sad. Our thoughts are with his kids and family. Bye Pete x x x

Only just heard about this today. So saddened, a lovely guy, very funny, very quick, ferociously clever but never put himself forward. His kindness to us when we lost our daughter never to be forgotten. No idea what must have pushed him to such an extreme. A tragic way for someone so caring to end. Rest in peace lovely Pete x

So gutted to hear of this. Remember him well from back in the day, always such a funny and talented bloke. What a sad end, guess things must just have been too much for him. A great loss.
