Shane Warne’s son Jackson shares personal video from dad to mark icon’s birthday

Shane Warne’s son has shared a video sent to him by his father before the Australian cricket legend’s death.

Jackson, 27, posted the clip on Instagram to mark what would have been his dad’s 57th birthday.

The sporting icon died of a sudden heart attack from natural causes while on holiday in Thailand in 2022, an autopsy confirmed.

“Missing these updates, happy birthday Dad,” Jackson captioned the video.

The clip appears to show Warne on a golf course in Scotland, where he was reportedly attending the Alfred Dunhill golf championship at the time.

After retiring from international cricket, golf became one of Warne’s primary sporting pastimes and competitive outlets.

“This is me rugged up. I’ve got a beanie. I’ve got about four different layers on. I’ve got a little snood that keeps my neck and that warm,” Warne said.

“I’ve got a vest, a jumper, and a thermal underneath there as well, to stay warm, because as I said it’s four degrees.”

Warne then tells his family how much he misses them and looks forward to seeing them in a week.

“I hope you had a good day and I’m missing and loving you lots. Let’s do this.”

Shane’s daughter Brooke commented on the clip: “These updates were the best, miss them so much.”

After news broke about Shane’s death, Jackson said he had lost his “best friend”.

“I don’t think anything is ever going to fill the void you have left in my heart. Sitting at the poker table, walking around the golf course, watching the Saints and eating pizza is never going to be the same,” Jackson said at the time.

“But I know all you ever wanted for me is to be happy, no matter what. You just wanted me to be happy, that’s it.”
