It is with the deepest sadness that I announce the sudden passing of my wonderful partner and soulmate Jeff Wakeford on Friday 27th February 2026.

He was my best friend, my greatest support, and the love of my life.

He was truly one in a billion.

One of the kindest, most thoughtful, generous, caring, and funniest people you could ever hope to meet. He brought light and laughter into every room and touched the lives of so many with his warmth and compassion.

He will be forever loved, deeply missed, and always remembered.

Sweet Dreams my darling. Toni xx
