Unexpected and tragic loss

Published: 17 June, 2010

• I AM wrought with grief at the loss of our colleague and friend Martin Davies.

This is a man who should not have died so young and that he did so unexpectedly is both bewildering and tragic.

I never heard Martin speak badly of other people or people speak badly of him.

In the world of politics he was a very rare type of person, one who was without artifice and whose kindness was genuine.

Camden is a poorer place for having lost such a wonderful human being and my life is so much the richer for having known him.

My deepest sympathies go out to Martin’s partner, his family and close friends.

I hope they will find comfort in the good life that was lived by Martin and the love in which he was held by all those who knew him and now mourn him.
