Ryan Thomas, a close friend of Jake Hall, has shared the last heartfelt messages the star sent him, just days before his tragic death at the age of 35.
Hall was reportedly found dead on Thursday aged 35 at a holiday villa in Majorca, with Spanish authorities investigating claims he may have suffered fatal head trauma after crashing into a glass door.
On Friday, sources close to the ongoing investigation said the most serious injury Jake suffered was a chest injury caused by a shard of glass from the door he crashed into at the Santa Margalida property in the north of the island early Wednesday morning.
Ryan shared a lengthy post on Instagram paying tribute to Jake, in which he said he was “in awe” of him when they first met.
Ryan, whose fiancée Lucy Mecklenburgh is close friends with ex Jake Chloe Lewis, shared a video of him and the star dressed in matching white suits as they partied together.
He wrote: “The moment I met Jake, I was in awe of him. I found myself gravitating towards him.
“He was always the coolest guy in the room, he had class, charisma, this magic about him that no one else had. Everyone who met him, even once, will remember him forever.
“I called him almost every day to remind him how special he was and how much happiness he brought to people through his music, fashion and art. Everything he touched was effortless, but it was truly genius.
“As I write this, I hear him laughing and saying, ‘Shut up, you idiot.’
“For all the people who admired his talent, the most important thing to him was always his family. He idolized his father, adored his mother, and loved his little brother more than words could ever explain. You felt it every time he talked about it.
“Her next chapter is now written in the stars and it’s all about River. I promise she will grow up surrounded by love and stories of how inspiring and powerful her daddy is.
“You wrote this to me in a message last week, so I’m sending you the same message again. I love you buddy. More than you will ever know.
Jake Hall’s ex-partner, Misse Beqiri, also reacted to the moving message.
The Swedish model shares daughter River, eight, with the late TV personality, who rose to fame on the reality show. TOWIE in 2015 and appeared in series 14 to 18.
