The 35-year-old lost his fight with stomach cancer last month and more than 3000 people were in attendance at his funeral on Friday.

“He has changed my whole perspective on life. His words ‘attitude is a choice’ is something which will stick with me forever and is something I’ll remind myself every day,” she said.
