Steve Morrissey, 50, and his wife Ali Slaymaker, 49, died within seven weeks of each other after both being diagnosed with brain tumours. 

Following Ali's death on August 24, 2023, her husband and their daughter moved from Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, to Cullompton, Devon, to be closer to her family. 

However, in a tragic twist of fate, Steve was diagnosed with a glioblastoma, the fastest growing type of brain cancer, in 2022 after suffering an unexpected seizure.

According to the Daily Mail, scans revealed he had a tumour on the right side of his brain and he died in a hospice seven weeks after his wife, with the couple leaving behind a 13-year-old daughter.

"To lose him and Ali in such a short space of time is absolutely heartbreaking," said Steve's nephew, Ben.

In the wake of the family tragedy, Ben has set up a fundraising page to raise money for research into the disease, which can often be silent.
