Fans Reacted to Harry Jowsey’s Family News on Reddit
Shortly after Jowsey shared the sad news on social media, some fans took to Reddit to react.
“Even though I’m not a fan of him, it is incredibly difficult loosing anyone in your life (especially a parent). I wish him and his family the best as they navigate this,” one person wrote.
“Incredibly sad. I’m glad he turned his comments off on this post, I know a lot of us aren’t his biggest fan but I feel for anyone having to loose their parent, he doesn’t deserve hate at a time like this,” someone else added.
“Losing someone you love is never easy. I personally can’t imagine what it feels like when it’s a parent. I hope for Harry’s sake he was able to spend time with his dad recently and doesn’t hold many regrets about their relationship(we all probably have some regrets about her relationships with family because we are only human after all),” a third comment read.
“This is so heartbreaking!! I can’t even imagine losing a parent omg. Sending my condolences out to him and his family during this difficult time,” a fourth Redditor said.
