A beloved husband and dad of four from County Durham tragically died from a brain tumour at the age of just 36 with his loving wife by his side. Jonathan Wilkinson died from a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) brain tumour in March as his wife Rebecca, 27, sat with him.
Rebecca, from Darlington, first realised something was wrong in December 2015 when "fit and healthy" Jonathan was having dizzy spells and auras but doctors believed he had a panic attack. However, after suffering from a seizure, he went back to the doctors where a CT scan revealed he had a mass on his brain.
In February 2016, Jonathan underwent an operation to remove the tumour but sadly the tumour grew back in 2019 and then again in 2021. Sadly, despite going through treatment and two more operations during that time, Jonathan peacefully passed away on March 6, leaving Rebecca and their children James, three, Alice, nine, Liam, 15, and Rhys, 18 devastated.
