Overview
- The Norfolk man was diagnosed in his early 20s with frontotemporal dementia following clinical assessment and an MRI.
- His condition deteriorated quickly over 2024–2025, with loss of speech, declining mobility and a move into residential care in September.
- He was hospitalised with an infection in December, transferred to Priscilla Bacon Lodge hospice in Norwich, and died on December 27.
- Relatives are planning tributes, including a proposed convoy of sporty cars to his funeral at Breckland Crematorium on January 27.
- The family intends to raise awareness and fundraise in his memory, and Alzheimer's Society describes FTD as a rare dementia that more often affects people under 65.
