I speak to many people about Covid and vaccine etc and without fail I talk of the tragedy of losing Seb so young.
Legend doesn't nearly describe our Seb.
I'd love a permanent bronze sculpture sitting in a seat in a stand. It just feels right to have him permanently in the stand for every home game at least.
I have to admit I have wondered whether he inadvertently saved the lives of a few people, as the shock of his dying brought it home to a lot of us that it wasn't just the elderly and seriously ill that were being killed by Covid.
The tragic loss of Seb as @aliwibble says suddenly brought a lot of things into focus for many. Seb represented so many Charltonians and his passing when it happened was poignant in the extreme.
I bet I’m not the only Charltonian, not the only person, who has thought about Seb frequently in the past year. As well as others we have lost. Gut wrenching sadness at times, RIP to them all and hopefully peace to their friends and families...but the club statement is right, simply not the same.
Seb may not be with us, but he'll never be forgotten. Whenever I think of an away game Seb always comes to mind, as he was often the first Charlton fan you would see as you left the train station. If he wasn't the first you would always seem his very soon.
Can't believe it's a year since Sebs passing. He is sadly missed by every Charlton fan, I'm sure he'll be happy at the final outcome of TS takeover. RIP Seb, god bless you.
It was the day that this damned pandemic really hit home, for me at least.
Yep, remember it vividly. I was sitting in my garage working and got a call to say a client of mine had just gone to hospital in an ambulance. Then another call to say another client (aged 80+, recent heart surgery etc) had caught it in hospital.
I came on here for light relief and saw the news on Seb, a chap I never met but would recognize and remember seeing "the worm" at The Valley and at Brighton away.
I remember getting up from my seat and going for a walk to clear my head and kicking the wall as I left the garage!
Poor fella, so young. The mosaic will hopefully be a great tribute and I am heading over to donate now.
Thankfully, my two clients are fit and well after their ordeals and so on the reflection day this week my candle was lit for Seb and his family. Sleep tight fella.
I still feel emotional when I think of our club, fanbase and Seb's family, losing someone so relevant. The thing that struck me about Seb, from seeing him everywhere we went, was that he came across as so ordinary (in a lovely unassuming way), yet he was anything but ordinary. He is missed and always will be.
I'd love there to be a Seb Lewis Stand, Suite or maybe even rename the team bus, so he gets to go to every game. I know there is going to be a memorial wall but it somehow doesn't do his unwavering commitment justice.

We hope very shortly to be able to present a full update on the Seb memorial.

I'm sure he's still doing the worm every time Charlton win.

In the first hour of the new appeal, fans have donated £1,270, a quarter of the way towards the target already. Thank you.
