Baz Ashmawy has posted a touching tribute to DIY SOS favourite Johnny Aylward who has died following a courageous battle with motor neuron disease.
Johnny and his family touched the emotions of the nation after appearing on the RTE show in April 2022 to show the build of their adapted home. More than half a million people tuned in to see the Aylward family's story as they transformed a plot of land on the Wexford Kilkenny border to a dream home.
Johnny died yesterday, March 13, with his family by his side in the home that they built together with the help of the DIY SOS crew. He is remembered with love by his heartbroken wife Lynn, mother Minnie, children Kelly, Aaron and his partner Aoife, Colin, Cian, Daire and Mikey, grandson Fionn, son-in-law David, brothers, sisters, extended family, neighbours and a wide circle of friends.
