“He was diagnosed with untreatable cancer on Friday the 13th and died 10 days later with me and his best fur friend Storm by his side.

Lister also revealed that her husband had been writing a memoir when he was diagnosed with cancer, explaining that the book was going to detail his lengthy struggle with addiction.
