Deepest Condolences to sendoh & his family for the loss of his brother & son, who is also a fellow cyclist.

He will be fondly remembered.

The wake will be Singapore Casket Level 4, Crystal Room.

deepest condolences with regards from mezzo.

My deepest condolences to Sam and family.

Hope his bro RIP.

Here is a small written tribute to Aidan.

I came to know Aidan when i was in my newbie days of cycling when we were at Hup Leong. We often know him as the "rich stuent" as he was under a scheme of SAF, whereby after completing his poly education he would serve the SAF.

He was known as a big customer, a good friend to some bikeshops. But i saw him as a quiet, calm and a very mature guy for his age. (He was 19 back then)

He was a super hardworking man. When he was in the army, he said that his physique was less than adequate compared to his colleagues. So he worked very hard to get himself in shape. This carried on all the way into a very significant course, a tab which he would be proud to wear.

Even though we seldom see each other or talk, i'm often updated of his latest news from Sendoh. Those who know the brothers will know how deep their kinship is... which puts some of us to shame sometimes.

Farewell brother... til we meet again.

Rest in peace.

My condolences to sendoh & his family.

this came as a real shock to me. I was and still am on holiday in Malaysia when Donny SMSed me with the news. I immediately called up Sam to send him my condolences. Sam, if you are reading this, sorry for your loss. I lost my dad two years ago and I am still coming to terms with the loss of a loved one. He is in a better place now. Be strong for your family. God bless you all.

With condolences,
Alan Oliveiro and family.

Thank you everyone, it has been a great 18years spent with my brother. He was truly a great guy, i'll post up the eulogy of him here written by his friends and collegue. Its just a pity that someone with such great prospect couldn't create a longer legacy he already has.


I stand before you today a representative of the Commando Formation in grief, soldiers mourning a dearly departed comrade. With humbled honesty, let me say a few words.

1SG Aidan enlisted in the SAF Commandos in 2003, and served with the distinguished 2nd Company. In 2004, he joined the Commando Regular Force, and embarked on a new phase of his career. As a soldier, Aidan displayed a high level of self-discipline, perseverance and determination. He is, by nature, embedded with these traits: blood, muscle, mind and all. He joined the Commandos not to be a better man, but because he is already a better man compared to other young people of his age. He seeks the uncommon challenges that only the Profession of Arms can offer, and here in CRF, he found them.

As a Commando, Aidan had been exemplary to his colleagues, seniors and juniors alike, in his dedication to the profession. An outstanding instructor to new commando trainees, fellow instructors specifically mentioned that he has extraordinary patience when explaining the finer arts of soldiering to his charges, and has an eye for attention to details. He is willing to teach, to explain, and to do it all over again and again if necessary… until his point gets across. Patience. Soldierly patience. Aidan is also an expert SAW gunner who distinguished himself in shooting competitions.

It was in 2005 when he joined the fraternity of special operations medicine, and discovered the love for this science. Hands-on training became an art form. CRF members today will remember him as an outstanding medic more than anything else.

Some may know that Aidan has already been emplaced in advanced medical courses - the types only qualified doctors are allowed to attend. We have no doubt that Aidan would have been the youngest and most highly trained medic in the whole of the SAF, no less, within the next year. We are very proud to have him as our protégé. His dream is attend the 2008 US Special Forces medic course and obtain a degree thereafter. Aidan has proven himself to be very proficient in medical skills, and has been establishing himself as a subject-matter-expert in the Commando Formation. I wish all of you could have seen the professional way he goes about his training in the live operating theatre. Our Commander, LTC Man can testify to that. In fact, it is not surprising to know that Aidan, being a fast learner, sometimes demonstrated surgical procedures, such as chest tubes and Cricothyroidoctomy, to inexperienced doctors, using the established techniques that were taught to him. He is involved at the forefront of developing our medical capabilities that will eventually influence the whole SAF, no easy task for a young sergeant. To us, he is indeed a “Doctor”. If there is any medic I am totally comfortable to deploy on operations with, it’s Doc Aidan. He is more than a soldier. He is an operator, a special ops medic, and a really good one at that.

He is a good friend. He appears to be quiet but at the same time he is very mindful of his own destiny. He is also a thinker, often deep in abstract philosophical and scientific thoughts. On many occasions, being medical students, we often discussed about the frailty of the human body, and the concept of immortality. I can assure you that Aidan has come to terms with the Inevitable, and he holds no fear, but he also believes we lives on in the hearts of our loved ones. He makes the connection to those who know him. A unique young man with a unique sense of humour. He rarely showed the soft side of his character, but we do know he has his soft nudges. In recent weeks he cast aside his rough and tumble looks and adopted smiles instead…..The last message he posted on his Friendster webpage states affectionately - "when the world stops, and you begin...". It is still there.

To all his family, friends, and colleagues, please remember that we did not lose him. Yes, he stepped away from us, but his dreams remains. He is the proof that with determination, high standards can be achieved. He is our trailblazer, no less.

Today, let us express our sorrow for Aidan’s passing, but more importantly, let us celebrate his life in our hearts, as he would had wanted us to, and remember him as the healthy, bright and dedicated young man with the special grin and the medic armband.

Aidan, it has been a great honour to serve alongside with you.

Condolences to sendoh & family.

I'm sorry to hear the news sam. Please accept my condolences. Your bro is with God now and God bless his soul.
