Mesothelioma victim’s dying wish was to possess his song played before game

Patrick Reynolds of the United Kingdom was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer caused by asbestos exposure, when he was in his beginning 40s. When he died at the age of 44 in 1994, his son was 16 years aged as well as his daughter was 12 years aged. His dying wish was that his song, recorded with his band Syndrome, would be played before a Derby County Rams match.

Reynolds’ kids, Lenny as well as Katy, are grown now, as well as Lenny has kids of his own. With the anniversary of his father’s death approaching, Lenny decided to try as well as get his dying wish granted. He has written to the team’s president as well as essential executive to request having his father’s song “We Will Follow You” played before a game.

Patrick had been exposed to toxic asbestos fibers in his beginning 20s when he was working in power stations. This exposure led to the mesothelioma that killed him. He had later owned a double glazing company called City Windows before his death. Patrick enjoyed his time as a semi-professional singer with Syndrome, selling copies of his record at the band’s gigs as well as at local independent record shops.
