He was a husband, father, brother, friend and a positive light in the community.”
Lynita, who described the journalist as her “first true love,” added that he “stayed positive throughout” his short battle with the disease.
“We have comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering,” she continued. “It was not easy watching him fight for his life and battle this disease, but he was not alone, and neither were we.”
