‘Loved…completely’: Danny K mourns wife’s passing

Translate

Danny K is sharing his grief over the loss of his wife, Lisa Koppel, with his social media followers. The R&B singer lost his spouse – the mother of his three children – last weekend after her battle with colorectal cancer.

The entertainer and model-turned-lawyer couple wed in 2012.

On his Instagram account, Danny K has continued to post pictures and videos of his late wife Lisa Koppel, who passed a week ago.

In one post, the singer and his late spouse were seen dancing to Whitney Houston’s popular song, I Wanna Dance With Somebody.

The heartbroken artist captioned the post: “You danced with somebody who loved you completely”.

Danny K also posted pictures of his 2012 wedding day at the Lourensford Wine Estate in Somerset West, Western Cape

He also revealed that he had been gifted a keepsake piece of jewellery, a necklace featuring an engraved image of Lisa’s face.

‘SHATTERED’

Earlier this week, Danny K broke his silence on his wife Lisa Koppel’s passing.

The R&B singer revealed that his 41-year-old spouse had endured a private battle with colorectal cancer over the last three years.

He shared: “She fought with extraordinary strength and determination. Together with our family, we searched for hope in South Africa and around the world, pursuing every treatment and every opportunity available to us. Tragically, despite everything, we could not save her.

Danny shared that Lisa chose to keep her illness private as “she never wanted pity, attention or sympathy”

He continued: “Above all, she wanted to protect our children and preserve their happiness and innocence for as long as possible.

“Even through the hardest moments, she remained gentle, humble and remarkably brave, inspiring everyone who walked this journey beside her”

“The Koppel and Gundelfinger families have been left shattered. I have lost the wife I worshipped, our three children have lost an extraordinary mother, and her family and friends have lost someone they deeply loved”.
