Robin Bailey shares heartfelt tribute to late husband

Former Triple M radio host Robin Bailey has shared a tribute to her husband Sean Pickwell, who passed away at the age of 56 on Thursday.

Pickwell, former radio executive and agency director, was diagnosed with a terminal cancer in July 2018.

“What can I say… my big beautiful panda has gone,” Bailey wrote on Instagram.

“In this moment there are no words or feelings that can truly express the love and gratitude I have for my husband Sean Pickwell.

“He was my absolute soul mate, the true love of my life and whatever I do from now on he will be in my heart and in my corner cheering me on.”

The 50-year-old called on those whose lives have been touched by Pickwell to give blood and donate to non-profit organisation Karuna in his memory.

The couple tied the knot in November 2018 after three years of dating.

Bailey left The Big Breakfast Show on Triple M Brisbane last week to spend time with her husband. “I never think through decisions I only feel them and this one feels so right,” she said.
