Just a few weeks after his own father unexpectedly passed away, a distraught father-of-two committed himself, leaving his family in total shock.
Nicky Larkin was discovered dead on October 23 in Bridgend, South Wales, next to a barn where he had planned to take his daughter for riding lessons.
Following the death of his father Roy, 64, in August, the 29-year-old, who had been battling depression, found it hard to adjust, according to WalesOnline.
Nicky’s distraught mother, Julie Larkin, said that her kid looked up to and even emulated his plasterer father.
She claimed to The Mirror that her beloved son has not “been right” since his father’s passing.
According to Julie, her son was “the most loving” and “hard-working” guy who had mental health problems that became worse following the death of her spouse of 37 years.
The 57-year-old claimed to The Mirror that there had been no warning that Nicky would commit himself and that he often strolled past the property on the weekends with his daughter Katie, son Tommy, and fiancée Sian.
He was a great, gorgeous youngster, recalled Julie, a mother of three other kids. a positive, unselfish person who works really hard. He loved his family and his kids. He had enormous popularity.
Before Roy’s passing, our family had a fairly typical existence, she said. Everything went extremely well. We had challenges, but we overcame them. However, everything has changed.
After Roy’s funeral, the family is worried about how they will cover Nicky’s.
On November 11, the The Eden nightclub in Bridgend will conduct a fundraiser where all proceeds from the door will go toward Nicky’s burial.
Alisha Harris and Stevie Hoey, who are family friends, have organized a fundraising campaign online.
Nicky “deserves more than this,” Alisha Julie said, adding that she wanted to give him “the finest send-off imaginable.”
“This family has gone through enough, and funerals are expensive,” she remarked. plenty of cash, namely to pay Nicky Larkin what was due to him.
He was a diligent young man who, at the time, had his whole life ahead of him.
“He was often talking to other parents at the school, and I’ve heard people talk about what a loving dad he was to those two lovely kids that he’s regrettably left behind.
