Virgin chief executive Jayne Hrdlicka has revealed that she would take time off following the death of her husband.
Ms Hrdlicka revealed his death on Monday night, following a long illness.
“As many of you know, my husband, Jason, was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive, and ultimately incurable cancer in November of 2019,” she posted on social media.
“It is with a very heavy heart that I say, after a long, difficult, and brave battle he has now passed on.
“For his sake, I am grateful that the suffering is behind him.
“For our sake, it is a devastating loss.
“He was such a kind, loving, fun and adventurous person with a sharp and quick wit.
“Jason will be sorely missed as a father, husband, son, brother and friend to many.
“For the next few weeks, I will be taking leave to spend time with family.
“I deeply appreciate the heartfelt support and compassion from so many over the last couple of years as Jason and I worked our way through his various treatment phases and challenges.
“His strength, incredibly positive attitude and passion for his boys enabled him to live years beyond the expectations of his doctors. For that we are blessed and grateful.”
