A week after the untimely demise of Australian spin legend Shane Warne, his eldest daughter Brooke posted an emotional tribute to her father. Brooke shared a black and white photo of herself and Warne on Instagram, writing that she still can’t believe they were “taken away” so quickly. “Dad my heart is broken, it doesn’t feel real and it doesn’t mean you’re not with us anymore, it doesn’t feel right, you were taken too quickly and life is too cruel,” she wrote.
Stating that she will always cherish the happy memories made with him, Brooke wrote that she was similar to her father in many ways and that she could not be happier and prouder of the fact. “Proud to call you, my dad. I love you to infinity and back and I miss you forever,” Brooke added in the caption shared with the Instagram picture.
Warne, 52, was found dead inside a villa in Thailand’s Koh Samui island, where he died of a suspected heart attack on March 4. An autopsy conducted by the investigating agencies ruled out the possibility of any wrongdoing and confirmed a heart attack. The great cricketer has been the cause of death.
Warne is survived by his three children, son Jackson and daughters Brooke and Summer, by marriage with ex-wife Simone Callahan.
Warne and Simone tied the knot in 1995 after dating for more than 3 years. However, after Warne’s name was dragged into several scandals, Simone dropped it in 2005 after 10 years. However, she got in touch with the former cricketer to co-parent her children.
Simone also paid tribute to Warne with a video compiling pictures of Warne with children and family.
The legendary cricketer received a state funeral from the Australian government and the cricket board renamed an MCG stand after him in his honour.
