A "loving" dad-of-three was told he had months left to live after crashing his van into bollards.
Patrick-John O’Brien died from a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) brain tumour in February 2020. The 69-year-old, who was known to all by the nickname Chucka, first realised something was wrong when he had a car accident two years earlier and was later taken by air ambulance to The Walton Centre.
His daughter Kerry, 41, from from Castletown in the Isle of Man, said: “Dad was reversing his van at the harbour in Castletown and he hit the white metal bollards. Without knowing he kept reversing and scraped the passenger side of the van.
