During his memorial a week later, those closest to him wanted to celebrate his life but many could not help but wonder how his seven-year-old daughter must be feeling. When children are young it can be difficult to try and explain to them the concept of death and loss, while making sure they are dealing with the grieving process.
Three days ago, Kairo uploaded an incredibly touching tribute video onto Instagram which features throwback pictures and videos of her and her father sharing precious moments together.
