Remembering the Inspirational Nick Jones

On behalf of Mel, Cameron and Lara it is with great sadness that I write to let you all know that Nick passed away on Friday 6th November.

Sadly Nick suffered a suspected heart attack yesterday evening when out on his bike. It is some comfort to know that Nick had had a really good day and been dancing, singing and laughing on Spotify on his new phone, just being the Nick Jones we all loved and admired.

Nick has been an inspiration to so many people showing us how to deal with adversity through his determination, courage and of course his sense of humour. We all have personal memories of Nick that we will cherish, with many of us at the Foundation being when Nick did the impossible, managing to trek to Everest Base Camp and back just a couple of years ago.

It was an inspiration for everyone to see this incredibly sick man summoning up amazing strength and courage each day to make sure he would reach his goal, to make base camp. It should of come as no surprise that Nick achieved this amazing feat and then went on to astound the medical experts every time there was a medical setback.

Nick will be remembered through his actions and of course this Foundation ‘The Nick Jones Foundation for Bereaved Children’. Everyone at the Foundation will continue Nick’s work and do all we can in the future to help support children who have suffered bereavement.

Nick showed us all how to dream big and live life to the full. That is the way I am sure we will all remember Nick.

RIP Nick … until we meet again my friend.

Kerry and everyone at The Nick Jones Foundation for Bereaved Children
