On April 4, 2025, sadly, my soulmate, best friend and lover passed away peacefully. He was an awesome, very proud Dad to his children including my fur babies. A great friend and mate to Brent Henderson and many, many others. Daisy is really missing her Dad. I am missing your smile, laughter, jokes and singing relaxing in the spa. Peace has finally come after being in pain for the last few years. Daisy and I LOVE YOU. My heart is broken till we meet again babe.
