A woman has paid an emotional tribute to her 'hard working' and 'healthy' husband who tragically died after his 'permanent headache' turned out to be a deadly brain tumour.
Mum-of-three Lara Griffith, 43, states that her husband Karl, 54, who died from a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) brain tumour on January 6, was previously ‘fit and healthy’ and had ‘never had a day off.’
Lara said that Karl, who worked as an operations manager at Tulketh Mill, Lancashire, first realised that something was wrong in May 2020 due to a 'permanent headache' and being unable to find words, Lancs Live reports.
Lara, mum to Alannah, ten, Indi, 15, and Livinia, 22, said: “Karl was so fit and healthy, he loved running and hiking, and he never had a day off work. But he had this permanent headache that wouldn’t go away.
“He was just a really hard working, decent man. He was never ill, he never drank or smoked, and he ran every single day. So, it came as a massive shock to us all.
“He was always raising money for charities. Karl was just someone who was always on the go, constantly, and never sat still.
"Karl was really busy with his work as an operations manager. He’s usually calm-natured, but he was really irrational, and he couldn’t find the right words to say. He was even getting all the kids’ names muddled.”
An initial visit to the GP followed after Karl realised there was a problem, which resulted in him being told he was stressed and advised to take a few days off work.
Lara said: “His whole personality changed, he was really snappy and kept complaining that his food was off. I thought he had early-onset dementia.”
Karl’s condition continued to worsen, despite blood tests in July coming back clear. The hard working dad of three then returned to
