Several Twitter users replied to the post sharing their condolences.

"Our thoughts and condolences go out to you and your family, Mark.
"Rest in peace, Gary."
Robert Heys, head of partnerships at Blackpool, tweeted: "Gutted to hear the news that Gary Lewis has sadly passed away.
"It was a genuine privilege to have known and worked with him at Accrington, Macclesfield and Blackpool.
"A lovely kind-hearted man who always had a smile to share. Hope you can watch tonight. Will miss you mate."
Paul Grimshaw replied: "Only knew him for a few months but a really top bloke."
Simon Muggleton said: "Gary seemed a decent bloke and was always offering people to go and have a chat with him while at Blackpool. All the best to the family."

Yes, I saw this and was confused.
He left the club recently. It was quite sudden and had very little explanation.
Obviously, we now know it was for health reasons.
RIP Gary. | |
