Awful news.

I'm lost for words. Rest in peace, Simon.

Feels a little silly to chime in on someone I only "knew" through lurking this forum, but I always enjoyed reading his posts in the "what are you reading" and Sotos threads, always insightful and clearly demanding of the things he read. Rest in peace.

Yeah, much like Keith he was one of the best contributors on here. and the one time I saw Smell & Quim he was in the line up and it was fucking insane. RIP.

Sad news indeed on the death of Simon  Morris.

Like a bullet to the stomach. So horribly sad to see this news.

He will be remembered by many for a long time to come.

Absolutely horrible news. Simon was a great guy, this is so tragic.

I liked Ceramic Hobbs since the late 1990s... Rocksoff pretty much speaks for me on this sad news though. RIP

He was the best poster here on SI when he was active, and such a bright man on all platforms, I regret not reading his books and talking more with him when he was alive, will be extremely missed... R.I.P. legend.

Just an all-around amazing, irreplacable person whose creative and personal support I'm now forever indebted to. Rest in peace to this one-of-a-kind special soul. Love and memory always.

Not the news I wanted to wake up to this morning. He was becoming a literary force and will be missed.‬

This is just awful. I always enjoyed reading his posts here, his other works and the very occasional email. Very sad day.

Certainly one of the more interesting and knowleagable contributors to this forum, like the late Keith. Respect to his memory.
