Elliott Ashton - Memorial Thread

[Lee Bullock]

I am very sad to report that an old school UK collector, and dear friend to many of us - Elliott Ashton passed away yesterday, he had been ill for sometime.

Many of us here knew Elliott and all deeply mourn his passing. Here's to the great memories at the NEC shows dude!

Please share your memories and thoughts here - for our fallen brother Elliott Ashton.

I did not know him personally, but it's always sad to hear about the passing of a fellow fan and collector, especially as he clearly couldn't have been very old. My condolences to his friends and family.

Rest in peace.

Top bloke. Knew him for many years and can't even begin to express my sadness at his loss.

In the town where he lived (leytonstone) he did so much to promote Star Wars and even got the Stuart Freeborn acknowldege there!

Enjoyed the artistic events he put on and meeting him for a soft drink in the local pubs.

He will be sorely missed

Sorry to read this, I didn't know Elliott but certainly knew of him. Was he Wampa on the forums?

RIP Elliott

Always sad to lose a fellow collector. I don't think I've met him but by all accounts he was a top bloke who'll be missed.

I didn't know Elliot as well as many others here, but we shared a few good curries as well as texts/emails... mostly after Elliot stopped actively collecting. Funnily enough he was an art guy and I think we had a couple of mutual friends through that hobby too. Top guy who was incredibly kind...

RIP and MTFBWY Elliot and condolences to his family and those he was closest to.

RIP Elliott, not that I remember that I talked with him or heard about him before, but still very sad to read a collector have passed away.

Was he a member on the forum ? :?

Met Elliott a few times at events and chatted on forums gone by.. such a fantastic guy too.

RIP buddy.
