Read his post below.
‘From the day you got diagnosed with cancer I promised you that I will always be by your side, I made trips to Berlin, Germany just to see you when you were going through all the chemotherapy sessions.
We shared amazing memories together and those memories shall forever be with me. I know deep down if I was in your position you would have done the same for me.
Last week when I drove for 16 hours and 40 mins from the UK to be with you in Berlin.
It never crossed my mind that I would be at your bedside until your last breath. That is something that will stick with me forever.
I saw how you were struggling with pain every day, even when you were weak you still showed a brave face.
We went for a drive around Berlin listening to our favorite reggae tune, Come Down father by Beres Hammond, and all you did was smile, even when you took your last breath.
Ken placed the phone beside your ear and played the song as you laid peacefully and your face glowed with a smile that’s what I will always remember.
