Influencer Lorna Luxe, 43, has shared the devastating news of her husband John Andrews’ passing at age 64 following a prolonged fight against stage four adrenal cancer.
Diagnosis and Final Days
John, who was 21 years older than Lorna, received his diagnosis in April 2023. Last month, Lorna informed her 1.6 million followers that the cancer had spread and treatment was no longer viable.
On Thursday, she posted on Instagram: “My beautiful, brave John died yesterday. I am heartbroken.”
She described their final moments: “We were together to the very end, at home, in our own bed and holding hands which is exactly what he wanted.”
Lorna recounted their last conversation: “The last conversation we had I asked him how he was feeling and he replied ‘rough but in love’ and that was so him, to the point and choosing to put aside his fears to make me feel cherished and loved.”
Gratitude for Caregivers
Lorna expressed deep appreciation for the district nurses who visited daily. “John and I were so grateful to the district nurses who came daily to support us and make him comfortable,” she wrote.
She highlighted nurse Anna: “Anna was his favourite nurse and the kindness she showed him was beyond, she was a real life angel.”
Lorna also thanked her mother: “We couldn’t have had those last few days together at home without that care and my mum who has been with us keeping me strong when I needed to stay strong for John.”
She concluded: “John you are a class act and I will love you forever.”
