A Dragons’ Den contestant who was discovered dead in a forest on October 1 has received numerous tributes.
Many friends have posted tributes to Graeme Turner, who appeared on the show in 2010 where he pitched a children’s customisable wallpaper kit to investors. His son, who was in charge of the messages in his father’s businessman father’s honor, posted an emotional message on Facebook at the end of the year in memory of Graeme.
Writing alongside a picture of Graeme, his son wrote: “I have just lost the best, strongest, kindest, most loyal, courageous dad I have ever had and known, he was the godfather the inspiration in my life. I am devastated and that is an understatement”.
One user wrote, “It’s with a heavy heart to announce we lost a very good friend and former member of The Supporters Club prior to Christmas,” in tribute to the Dragons ‘ Den contestant. Despite a long battle with illness, sadly, Grace Turner passed away.
Another tribute followed, saying, “A great man and I had the privilege to be in his company on numerous occasions in my time.” Another deeply broken friend added, “Very sad news, Graeme was a true gentleman and will be dearly missed by all condolences to Graeme family and friends.”
Another described Graeme’s character, as they shared their thoughts: “An absolute gentleman who will be sadly missed by all who knew him, my thoughts are with his family at this sad time, safe now in the arms of Jesus”. Another added: “RIP Graeme, memories that will last a lifetime, thoughts are with all the family at this sad time”.
Another person expressed regret for your loss, “Sorry for your loss mate; I knew you were looked upon with great respect and hope you are as well as you can be.” During his appearance on Dragons ‘ Den, Graeme was looking for a sum of £50, 000 for 5% of his firm but the Dragons didn’t take the opportunity.
The children’s kit helped parents to transform their child’s bedroom into their favourite football stadium. Without the panel’s investments, he continued running his business. The 53-year-old was discovered last year in Pwllheli in North Wales, according to the inquest into his death. This week’s hearing featured coroner Kate Robertson’s suicide verdict. On January 16, his funeral was held.
