John Strutt was just 47-years-old when he died after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer two years prior.
The North Belfast man began to feel unwell while attending a concert at the SSE Arena.
A few days later, on Tuesday November 21, his daughter Rosie's 16th birthday, John went to see his GP who noticed he "wasn't a good colour" and he was sent straight to Antrim Hospital. As the family say in an all-white room, they then noticed that John was a luminous yellow colour, they say similar to Home Simpson.
