Heartbreaking. Our thoughts are with his loved ones
A Hucknall dad has died just days after getting married following a battle with a rare cancer. Chris McGinnis married his partner Mel on May 4, but sadly succumbed to the disease on May 10, six days after the pair wedded.
Natasha Walker, who has been a friend of Chris and Mel's for around 12 years, said: "He was just the funniest, nicest guy, ever. He doted on Mel and the girls and everything was about providing for them and taking care of them."Onora is coming up to four, she was a daddy's girl through and through, and she's finding it difficult. She keeps saying things that are breaking everyone's hearts.
She said: "It would be nice for the girls to have something in his memory. It's not just having the unexpected costs of the funeral. Chris' loved ones also want to encourage others to get regular health check-ups. While they say it is difficult to know whether he would still be here if the cancer had been caught sooner, his family and friends are now encouraging others to not ignore any symptoms.
