Shane Warne’s three children, Jackson, Summer, and Brooke, have posted heartfelt individual tributes to their dad following his shock death over the weekend.
The 52-year-old cricketing legend died of a suspected heart attack on March 4 at a luxury resort villa in Thailand where he was staying with three friends.
Warne leaves behind three broken-hearted children, Jackson, 23, Brooke, 24, and Summer 20. He shared his children with ex-wife Simone, to whom he was married between 1995 and 2005. The couple briefly reconciled after their divorce but split for good in 2010.
The three children took to Instagram to pay tribute to the man who was simply ‘dad' to them.

Brooke Warne's tribute reads: "Dad, this doesn’t feel real and doesn’t make sense that you are not here with us anymore. It doesn’t feel right, you were taken away too soon and life is so cruel. I will forever cherish our final memories together laughing and joking around with each other."
"We were happy. We were so similar in so many ways and I always used to joke that I got your genes and about how much that annoyed me!! Well now I couldn’t be happier and prouder that I have your genes. I am lucky and will forever be so proud to call you my Dad forever. I love you to infinity and back and I will miss you forever."
Warne's MCG state funeral is set to be held on Wednesday, March 30.
