Lost my instructor today...

Found out this morning that my instructor (I've trained with him for over 20 years) died this weekend in a scuba diving incident. Words can't express how devastated I am. I've had the unenviable job of phoning round and telling all the other students as the family got in touch with me and it's broken my heart with every person I've had to tell.

A very hard and sad day...

RIP Master Carl Lees, there's a lot of people in the UK who will never forget you!
 
So very sorry to hear this. I truly know how you feel, having been through this myself. Even time will not heal. Stay true and strong my friend.
 
My heart goes out to you, your instructor's family and all your dojo mates. There really aren't any words.
 
So very sorry to hear this, terrrible news. I feel for you having to pass on such bad news too. Thoughts and prayers with all of you, if there's anything I or my club can do please shout.
 
As my fellows have expressed above, such a sad event is hard to deal with, especially so when it is your good self that has to be the messenger to carry the news to the other students. My sympathies go out to everyone touched by the loss of your teacher.
 
A sad moment many of us must one day face. So sorry the day has come for you. Prayers going up.
 
Thanks for all the love guys! It's been a really hard hard day, I'm emotionally exhausted.

The love I've felt from my Taekwondo family (my local Taekwondo family and my remote/extended Taekwondo family online) has been nothing short of inspiring though.

Thank you all so much.
 
I'm sorry for your loss, Andy. My prayers go out to his family & his students.
 
Our condolences to his family and students.
As a diver and EMS geek, can I ask if you know what happened?
