Terribly sad news indeed.
His to very young children miss out on a great dad and an amazing driver.
I actually thought he would be ok. So to hear this news was a big shock.
RIP Jason Richards !

I thought no news was good news and was slowly, privately recovering from such a terrible illness. It seems not. Terribly sad.

He was interviewed in the pits at Sandown 2 months ago where he told Channel 7 the cancer had metastacised to his bone marrow. He was looking gaunt and his voice was notably weaker than earlier this year. From there the signs were pretty grim.

Awful news, so sad that this should happen especially to a father of a young family, a great racing driver and more than anything, someone who always seemed like a genuinely nice bloke.

RIP Jason, you will be missed.

Very sad to hear this.

Very grim when one has to overcome adversity with the big C and loses the fight. All year Jase had a huge smile on his face and his eyes lit up.

So, so sad

RIP Jason Richards and condolences to the Richards family.

RIP Jason

Very Sad loss of V8 Talent, and also another loss in motor racing this year.

Keeping on racing Jason, you're bound to be in heaven, as the good go first.
