Ike wrote on the social media platform: “My wonderful, beautiful daughter Kerry passed away today in hospital on the Isle of Wight after a stoic battle with a long illness. She was only 48.
“She left this world surrounded by her family and her wonderful boyfriend Ede, who looked after her wonderfully until the very end. Kerry leaves behind two teenage children and a family who loved her so much.”
He continued: “She was the only, fiercely independent, outspoken, unique expression of All That Is, and there will never be another quite the same.
“We know she is just a heartbeat away, a frequency vibration away, and she will still be there for us until we meet again in another world beyond this madhouse reality she saw through laser focus.
“We are all so proud of you, my dear, our Divine Spark. Never forget it. We will never forget you.’
Kerry’s younger brother Gareth, who presents “alternative” online current affairs news programs with brother Jamie, added: “Today my older sister Kerry passed away after a battle with illness. Always stubborn and doing things her own way, she kept this to herself for over a year.
“We were so close in our younger years, but unfortunately life, parenthood and geographic distance have not allowed us to see each other as often as we should have lately.
“Me and my brother rushed today and managed to get there and hold her hand at the end along with all her immediate family. I will miss her terribly, but I know it won’t be forever, just now.
“I’m sure there will be kind messages under this post so let me apologize in advance for the lack of confirmation, we all appreciate them but I need to check for a while.
– I hope you understand. Until next time, Wiz. X.’
Jamie shared a photo of himself with his sister. his own post, writing: “Good night big sister. I love you. See you again one day. Xxx’
Fans left hundreds of replies to the Ickes’ posts expressing their affection.
One said: “So sorry for your loss David, I’m sending you positive energy…”
Another wrote: “This is so sad David. Our condolences (sic) to you and your family on this terrible loss. When I see such sad news, I feel like I have a hole in my heart too.
“We are together on many levels, everyone on Earth is family and we share the same bond. You have pointed this out many times. I wish all the best to everyone affected by her passing.”
“RIP Kerry” began trending on Channel X in the UK just hours after the family shared their memories.
Kerry’s brother Gareth Ike, who hosts an “alternative” online current affairs show, shared his tribute to his sister.

Ike rose to fame as a conspiracy theorist who made outlandish claims that world leaders were “reptiles” masquerading as humans.
He showed promise as a young footballer before developing rheumatoid arthritis at a young age. This led him to research alternative medicine, which developed into an interest in the occult that launched his career.
However, some of his conspiracy theories have been criticized as allegedly anti-Semitic, and Ike has self-published all of his books since the mid-90s.
In 2020, he was banned from YouTube and a range of social media platforms after he made outlandish claims linking Jews to the coronavirus pandemic and the rollout of 5G mobile phone networks.
He later returned to Twitter after it was acquired by businessman Elon Musk, who also allowed a number of other conspiracy theorists, including Alex Jones, as well as figures associated with the far right, to return to the site under his leadership.
The Dutch government also banned Ike from entering the EU’s 26 Schengen area for two years in 2022.
Dutch immigration authorities said in Ike’s letter, published on his website, that “there are concrete indications that your arrival in the Netherlands poses a threat to public order.”
Kerry, born in 1975, was Ike’s first child with first wife Linda Atherton, followed by sons Gareth and Jamie.
Ike later had another daughter with Marie Shosun, a Canadian who came to live with Ike on the Isle of Wight.
