Guys, As many of you are aware, Nick had been very poorly for some time. Today I have had a message from his wife Cate. Nick has been moved within James Cook hospital to a family suite so that his closest family can be with him. The prognosis is not good. Care informs me that he is being made as comfortable as possible but that we are now talking about end of life care. Those wishing to visit him are still welcome but I would advise any visits to be short and sweet and that the families time with him is respected.
From Cate: Nick has deteriorated over the past 24 hours and is too poorly to come home. He had been moved to the family suite so we can stay with him all the time. The nurses are looking after him and us really well. Hannah and I stayed with him last night. He is settled and peaceful and does not appear to be in any pain. If you see people can you let them know. Xx

I've not been back here for some time but thought I'd look in after seeing Lee's post on Facebook. This is so sad, Nick was a good guy but then it always seems to be the case that it happens to nice people. Thoughts are with Nick and his family at this terrible time.

Sorry to hear. Hopefully it'll remain peaceful for him, Cate and the family. A lovely guy, always a nice word and time for a chat. He'll be missed.

Bit of an update, Nick has had a couple of unsettled nights, he is on pain relief now and only occasionally mutters the odd word. He is mostly sleeping. He has not eaten or drank anything for some time bow. Cate informs me there is little change but that she takes some comfort from the kind words of Nick's many friends. He remains in a private room on ward 14 at James Cook hospital

This morning I have been contacted by Nicks wife Cate. Sadly, during the night, Nick passed away. He was not in pain at the time and had his family around him. Whilst we have all been expecting it, it doesn't make things any easier for us left behind. Nick will be missed by many. I hope that you can all join me taking some comfort in the thought that he did not suffer agonizing pain for months on end. It is a very sad time and my thoughts are with Cate, Stephen and Hannah.
