Kevin Gillet had been struggling to get an appointment with his doctor for six weeks after starting to feel unwell.
A "fun-loving" dad passed away just weeks after receiving a phone call from a nurse asking him to go straight to hospital.
Odette, 60, said: "He had high calcium levels. I knew straight away it's indicative of advanced cancer because I've had it happen to someone I know." A Gofundme page has now been set up by neighbours Lauren and Laura to raise money for Kevin's funeral, and cover the cost of a memorial to give his seven-year-old son somewhere to go to remember him.
"I know there's a backlog after covid. We just feel that when somebody has a chronic condition anyway that they would monitor it more closely and not do a telephone appointment."His dying wish was for the service to begin with a rendition of Everton's anthem Z-Cars and end with The Killers' cover of Forever Young.
He was diagnosed with Crohn's disease when he was 25, which his mum said had a big impact on his life due to the nature of the illness.
