Since his death, Jock’s wife Lauren has kept his Instagram account open in order to share memories of him with his fans and provide updates on how her family is coping.
In her latest post, she wrote that Alfie had asked her to do some of the things he had traditionally enjoyed doing with his Dad.
“Alfie has asked me to do some of his Papa activities with him – making crepes and doing hours of Lego were in his requests,” she wrote.
“I went with the easiest option of a trip to the barber, which the boys used to do together, followed by gelato.
“It put a smile on his face, which was beautiful.”
She shared a series of pictures of Alfie getting his hair cut, smiling as he showed off the end result, and enjoying his gelato.
The sweet post prompted an outpouring of love and support from followers.
“Oh bless him,” one follower wrote.
“I hope somewhere in all of this … that you are able to find a moment for you.
“Take care.”
“Lovely to see him smiling,” another wrote simply.
“Sweet boy!” wrote one follower.
“Such a beautiful smile.
“So beautiful that you are keeping the memories he shared with his Papa fresh in his mind.”
“The smile on that face says it all really,” said one.
“Good job Mamma.”
“Beautiful! What a sweet moment,” observed another.
“So nice to see that big smile!
“So happy this was the first thing to pop up on my Insta feed.”
Apart from son Alfie, the couple have a daughter, Isla, together.
Jock also has two adult children, Ava and Sophia, from previous marriages.
Lauren said she had deliberated about whether to keep his social media account going, but decided it was an important way to keep his memory alive.
Her previous post was shared on the seventh anniversary of the day Jock proposed.
“This week seven years ago, up in the Scottish Highlands, Jock asked me to marry him,” she wrote on June 29.
“He took me on a 4WD adventure from Loch Lomond, up some hectic winding roads, to the top of a windy mountain.
“Down on one knee he asked that we give our future children the opportunity to love and enjoy Scotland as we did, he also proclaimed that he loved me more than Tunnocks Caramel Logs (which is a lot!)“
That post prompted a plethora of comments thanking Lauren for sharing memories of the man she knew and loved with his fans.
“I’m so sorry for your loss, and I completely admire how you are keeping Jock’s memory going, and sharing these beautiful moments with us all,” one follower wrote.
“Sending ❤️ and thinking of you and the children.”
