Ian Phillips spent his last months warning about the risks of long exposure to radiation from mobiles. Unfortunately he has now died at the age of 44.
After going to hospital with a bad headache, he was given the devastating news he had a lemon-sized brain tumour - and has just three years to live.
Mr Phillips claimed his cancer was caused by excessive use of his mobile phone, as his job as an operations manager for a large firm required him to spend more than 100 hours a month making calls.
Speaking in February 2015, he said: 'My ear would be red when I left work at the end of the day. I didn't think what it was doing to my brain.'
As well as undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment in a bid to beat the cancer, he received alternative medicine, changed his diet, and regularly exercised.
In the months before his death he also launched a campaign to make others aware of the risks of using mobile phones, which he says are particularly dangerous for children.
Mr Phillips, a former rugby player, said: 'I spent my working life on my mobile. I would have two -hour conference calls some days.'
Since his death, his family in Caerphilly, South Wales, have received hundreds of tributes to him from all over the world.
Mr Phillips raised thousands of pounds for a brain illness charity and was backed by Arsenal soccer star Aaron Ramsey and Wales rugby stars Jonathan Davies and Rhys Priestland.
