At 19, his mother passed away after a long battle with cancer. Then a few years later, he lost his father leaving just him and his sister. Tragically, she also perished in December 2021 due to Covid 19.

He will always be grateful for his two dear friends, Dean and Mandy, who looked after him and helped him overcome the tragedy.
