The devastated wife of a popular engineer who died following a short battle with bowel cancer said he was ‘loved by everyone who met him’.
Melissa Wright said her husband Steven was selfless to the end, believing he hung onto life for a couple of days just so he could celebrate her birthday.
Steven, 42, had been fit and well until November last year when he started to get a “sharp pain in his side”. He had been hanging a curtain rail and thought he must have just pulled a muscle.
