Ryan Thomas shares heartbreaking text from Jake Hall before tragic passing in emotional tribute

Ryan Thomas has shared a sorrowful message from his close friend Jake Hall, sent just days before Jake's untimely passing.

Former Coronation Street actor Ryan has spoken openly for the first time since the loss of his friend, writing about Jake's death inside the Majorcan villa he was staying at.

The 35-year-old former Towie star passed away on Wednesday due to chest injuries sustained in a collision with a glass door.

Posting a video of joyful times with Jake and cherished family moments, Ryan mentioned that he was returning the same heartfelt message Jake had sent him a week earlier.

The message read: “I care about you, friend. More than you could ever know.”

Ryan started his tribute saying, “When I first met Jake, I was immediately captivated by him. I felt drawn towards him.

“He was perpetually the coolest person around, he exuded class, charm, and had this inexplicable allure that was unique to him. Anyone who encountered him, even briefly, remembered him for life.”

The television star shared that he would call Jake every day to remind him of his worth and the joy he brought to others.

“Everything he did appeared effortless, yet it was pure brilliance,” he expressed.

Ryan confessed it took a while before their friendship solidified, but once they did, they were inseparable for life.

He reflected: “The heart-to-heart talks, the hysterically funny moments, and even the minor disagreements — We experienced it all together. We shared the same values, family principles, and the same perspective on life: we sincerely wished success for those around us.

As I pen this, I can hear him chuckling, teasing, ‘Stop being so silly.’”

He added: “To everyone who appreciated his flair, his heart was always with his family. He looked up to his father, cherished his mother, and loved his younger brother more than words could convey. It was palpable every time he spoke of them.

“His future is now amongst the stars, focusing on River. I vow she will grow up encompassed by love and numerous tales showcasing how inspiring & powerful her father truly is.”

Family, friends, and admirers conveyed their heartfelt sympathies.

Ryan’s brother Scott responded: “I love you big brother… he’ll always be a part of you.”

Jake shared an on-again, off-again relationship with model Misse Beqiri. Together they had a daughter, River, born in November 2017.

Misse expressed yesterday: “You were never meant to leave us. My heart is in pieces, and so is our daughter’s.”

The late celebrity had previously mentioned that the only thing keeping him strong was his daughter, expressing his love for her days before his untimely passing.
