A dad-of-two has tragically died just weeks after being diagnosed with cancer. Simon Atkins, 46, sadly passed away on Sunday (February 11).
The HGV driver's health had taken a turn during a family holiday in Tenerife with his wife, Sara, their kids and other family members.
After returning home, he went through numerous GP appointments and spent time in hospital before a biopsy in January confirmed that he had cancer and it was spreading.
Tumours had grown on his appendix and had travelled elsewhere in his body. From Shepshed in the East Midlands, Simon met his wife, Sara, 40, when they were both working at the Packe Arms in Hoton near Loughborough. Try MEN Premium now for FREE...
