“He was such a kind person and was a brilliant father to the kids.”
Mark developed mild coronavirus symptoms at the end of March including a fever and mild cough.
On March 27 he suffered breathing difficulties and collapsed at home in Liverpool.
He was taken to Aintree hospital by ambulance three days later.
But his condition got worse and he was placed on a ventilator in Manchester’s Wythenshawe Hospital.
Danielle said It’s really difficult not being able to see the family during lockdown when he was ill and especially now.
“I want people to know how loving and caring and thoughtful he was and how much everyone cared about him.
