I have some sad news regarding or member MarcWHU who many of you
will know from the site as a long time lurker and PAR
participant.
Marc diagnosed with a heart condition in 2013. It was fairly
stable but declining slowly at the same time. Last year he was
admitted to Harefield hospital in a very poorly condition and
required resuscitation at least once. He was told at the time
that a heart transplant was his only option. He was re-admitted
to Harefield hospital on Thursday May 6th. His diagnosis was
advanced heart failure and cardiomyopathy. On 14th May he was
told that time had run out for a heart transplant and his heart
was close to giving out completely.
We chatted via SM most nights and we agreed that when the time
came I would close his account and make an announcement. We had
a long chat across May 14th & 15th where he told me that he was
going to speak to his parents that weekend, tell them his
prognosis and would give them my phone number so they could
contact me, he was planning to pass his SM account passwords etc
on to a friend so they could make an announcement and close his
accounts. The night of 15th May he messaged me saying I was to
send Michael Oliver to the naughty step for wearing yellow and
we had a lovely and funny chat, as we often did.
Around lunchtime on 16th May he messaged me again to tell me
that he had a really bad night and he had deteriorated
significantly. It was his goodbye to me, he told me that he
believed it was his last day. He never read my response and none
of the messages/emails I have sent him since have been read or
replied to. His SM accounts are still open but the last activity
on any of them was on 14th May. He seemed to deteriorate so
rapidly and simply did not have the time to make all of the
arrangements that he planned to do that weekend. I just hope
that his parents were with him. My heart is absolutely breaking
for them right now, he was only 28 and such a lovely, funny guy.
I will close his account, as I promised him that I would, over
the next few days, I'm not ready to do so yet though. He always
took great delight in sending me photos of Andre wearing yellow
telling me to sort him out and we'd end up having a real giggle.
I'm really going to miss that and the frequent laughs that we
had.
Good night, sleep tight Marc, you will be sorely missed.

What very, very sad news to hear. My heartfelt condolences to
marc’s family.
Life is so very cruel at times, especially when one so young is
lost so early in life.
Thanks for letting us know bmb, so great of you to be there for
him.
Rip marc.
