What a waste of such a special young talent, a life taken away, a star taken, to shine brightly now in the sky.

As a QPR supporter from Sunderland who can only get the chance to travel to Loftus Road once or twice a season, my footballing memory of Ray was my jumping in celebration from my seat to celebrate his goal in the last minutes of the match against Northampton in the League Cup last year which we won 3-2.
This tragedy puts the game of football into perspective.
My heartfelt condolences to Ray's family

On behalf of the Chairman, Directors, Manager, Players and Staff of Burnley Football Club please accept our sincere condolences on the death of Ray Jones.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Ray's family, friends and everyone at Queens Park Rangers Football Club at this sad time.

I'm shocked, saddened and close to tears. Such a waste of young life. I dont even know Ray, yet I feel like I've lost someone very close. Words cannot express the way everyone feels. My thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.
RIP Ray

We should have been playing each other this afternoon, but the sad news this morning has put everything into perspective.
On behalf of everyone involved with the Clarets Mad web site can I send our condolences to everyone at QPR. Our thoughts are with you, and in particular with Ray's family and friends, at this very sad time.

God Bless Ray!

I am a Tranmere Rovers supporter, but I am saddened by this tragic news. May Ray rest in peace and my deepest sympathy go out to the Jones family at this sad time.
Emma, Wirral

Just wanted to add my condolences to Ray's family and all his friends and colleagues, as well as fans of QPR.
I'm not a QPR fan myself, having followed what was my "local" team (Liverpool) since childhood, but recognised Ray's talent and am very sorry to see a young life cut short.
A tragedy for all concerned.

Burnley are in mourning with you all at this very sad time. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to you all.
A tragic loss of a so young and talented life, with so much to give.
Jil, Burnley

Ray, you will be greatly missed. You were going to become a great striker, known to the world. This is a great loss to all who follow QPR and supported you to the top.
May you rest in peace and you will have a place in the hearts and minds of QPR for time to come. Much sympathy to the friends and family. The hearts of my family and I are with you at this sad time.
Anthony, Clapham.

RIP Ray
I would like to send my sincere sympathies, to the family, friends and fans of Ray Jones, also to the family and friends of the other victims of this tragedy.
