Gabriel Wilhelmsen Hoff, president of the Norwegian Handicap Association Youth (NHFU), has died.
He had been ill for a long time and fell asleep on Wednesday.
He is 27 years old.
His mother, Tanja Wilhelmsen, confirmed the death to Dagbladet.
– He was an important person to many people. He stood up for his rights and those of others – like a lion. He says he is very special, and musical and active, dedicated and very resourceful.
He says that losing his son is very painful.
– … but he lived his life entirely based on his assumptions. It is very heavy.

A contagious laugh
