Tom Parker's wife Kelsey has set up a donations page following his heartbreaking death.
Tom, 33, died after a battle with brain cancer earlier this week and Kelsey shared her thanks for the support.
"Words can’t express how much all of your love and support means right now," she began.
Continuing: "We are overwhelmed by everyone’s generosity. We have set up a donations page for those of you wishing to donate in Tom’s memory. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
"In loving memory of my husband Tom Parker."
Kelsey then linked to the GoFundMe page people could visit if they wanted to donate money in memory of Tom.
The page has already raised over £10,000, with many commenting on what an impact Tom made while he was alive.
In the bio of the page, Kelsey says: "As many of you know, Tom was diagnosed with a brain tumour in October 2020 and on Wednesday 30th March 2022 he passed away peacefully with all of his closest friends and family by his side.
"Our hearts are truly broken, Tom was the centre of our world and we can't imagine life without him, but one of the biggest sources of comfort over the last 2 years has been the outpouring of love and support we’ve all received.
"We can’t thank everyone enough for holding Tom, myself and the children in your thoughts and prayers, for lighting candles and sharing beautiful messages of hope and condolence.
"We want to take everyone’s incredible love, support and generosity and turn our grief into something positive and to keep Tom’s memory alive forever.

"We politely request that instead of gifts and flowers, donations are made to this GoFundMe account with all proceeds eventually going to amazing causes in Tom’s name, to help others in need.
"We simply couldn’t have got through the last 2 years without the help and support we have received and if we can offer it back to others that would be the best way to honour Tom and make our two children, Aurelia and Bodhi proud. From the bottom of our hearts, a huge thank you.
"If love alone could have saved Tom, he would have lived forever…"

Tom first suffered a seizure in July 2020, and after taking himself to A&E he was put on a waiting list for an MRI scan.
Once the paramedics had arrived, he was taken straight to the hospital for an MRI, and while he was initially told he'd be in the hospital for four hours, he ended up spending three days there having numerous different tests.
Due to the coronavirus restrictions that were in place at the time, Tom was given his heartbreaking diagnosis alone, while Kelsey was told over the phone.
Speaking to OK! about being told the awful news, Tom said: "A couple of days later, when we were still on holiday, Kelsey couldn’t come in because of Covid.
"They pulled the curtain around my bed and said, “It’s a brain tumour.” All I could think was, “F*****g hell!” I was in shock. It’s stage four glioblastoma and they’ve said its terminal. It was a lot to deal with by myself. I still haven’t processed it."
