His eldest daughter Rebecca, 32, from the Low Hill area of Wolverhampton, said: "Our dad's loss has left a massive hole in our lives."
Rebecca said her dad had been the "happiest she'd ever seen him" prior to his sudden passing on holiday - after he lost his wife and Rebecca's mum Jane, 53, two years ago to cancer.
Mr Bloomer had been staying in the Greek island alongside his two daughters Rebecca and Danni Perks, 27, and their partners and their children.
His tragic passing meant the family had to cut short their holiday, returning several days earlier than planned on Tuesday, July 29.
Mr Bloomer's body was flown back to England on Wednesday, August 6, which has allowed the family to begin the ordeal of organising his funeral.
They've launched a GoFundMe page to help pay for costs.
Since his passing, tributes have flooded in for Mr Bloomer who ran The Cafe in Showell Circus, Low Hill, alongside his two daughters.
Paying tribute to her dad, Rebecca said: "We lost our mum two years ago to cancer.
"Since then, he has been a bit down in the dumps.
"On holiday, it was the happiest I'd ever seen him, he had a new girlfriend.
"He was lovely and a proper family man.
"He liked motorbikes, old cars, going to the pub, snooker, drawing, he was really good at art."
She added: "We own a cafe business which my dad started running after my mum died.
"The amount of tributes we've had off people for dad, saying how lovely he was and what a character he was.
"He was like marmite, you either loved him or hated him - and most people loved him."

The Best Birthday Freebies For Kids - Discounts, Gifts
Kids love birthdays. And kids can also be pretty easy to impress. That's why, as tempting as it can be to load on with amazing toys to celebrate, there's really no need. There are lots of low-cost ways to make another year around the sun (and another candle on the cake!) feel really special. Many retailers offer freebies and discounts on birthdays that make what would have otherwise been a $2 pretzel or $3 scoop of ice cream feel celebratory. Taking advantage of birthday freebies is also a great way to have fun while de-emphasizing gifts during a birthday. We found the best kid-friendly freebies and discounts: Sign up for one or two things your kids will like, or make it a fun family challenge to hit up as many as possible during your child's birth month. A note on how these programs work: Because it's 2023, most require an email address, app download, or cell phone number to participate. Many programs allow a parent or guardian to create an account with an email and then add children to their accounts (no email required for kids). Others don't have age restrictions or are for ages 13 and up, but do require an email address. This method requires a little ingenuity if you want to sign up multiple children or take advantage of the birthday offer for yourself. If your kids don't have their own email, many servers will allow you to create new accounts for free. You can also decide if you're comfortable having older kids get email marketing from these companies. Keep in mind that plenty of birthday freebies (but not all) are parts of larger rewards programs, though you can set email preferences to minimize marketing emails you receive. No companies included here require you to spend money to qualify for the birthday gifts, though some of them are only free with purchase. We've noted all places where kids have to be 13 and older (or 12 and under) to participate, as well if the gift is free or requires a purchase (like an adult meal). Now get out there and birthday freely!

Kelly Clarkson Left Out of Brandon Blackstock's Obituary Which Included a New Revelation About His Post-Divorce Life
Kelly Clarkson wasn't mentioned in an obituary for her late ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, who passed away on August 7. The obituary reveals that Blackstock, 48, was surrounded by loved ones when he died at home, ending her 3-year battle with cancer, alongside a touching summary of his life and career. 'To know Brandon was to love Brandon,' part of the tribute read. 'He was a strikingly handsome man… and if you failed to notice … he was always happy to remind you!' More from SheKnows The Reason Behind Kelly Clarkson & Brandon Blackstock's 'Painful, Messy' Divorce The obituary mentions Blackstock and Clarkson's two children, River Rose and Remington, who were born during the couple's seven-year marriage, as well as Blackstock's older children, Savannah and Seth, from his first marriage to Melissa Ashworth. Ashworth was not mentioned. In addition to mentions of his parents and siblings, former stepmother Reba McEntire also got a shoutout. McEntire was married to Blackstock's father, Narvel Blackstock, from 1989 until 2015. Narvel served as McEntire's manager and the two share a son, Shelby. Blackstock's obituary also revealed, for the first time, that he was in a relationship after separating from Clarkson in 2020. 'Brandon, along with his beautiful and loving partner in life and business, Brittney Marie Jones, started building a life, building companies, and working tirelessly to create Headwaters Livestock Auction and what will live on as his legacy, The Valley View Rodeo in Bozeman, Montana,' it reads. Clarkson filed for divorce from Blackstock in June 2020, leading to a tense battle over their Montana ranch, which Clarkson was eventually awarded while agreeing to give Blackstock 5% ownership. Clarkson also sued Blackstock, claiming he unlawfully procured business deals for her as her talent manager. That case was settled in 2023 when Blackstock was ordered to pay her $2.6 million. Clarkson has yet to address her ex's passing, but did step back from her hosting gig at The Kelly Clarkson Show and other work engagements over the past year while Blackstock's health was deteriorating behind the scenes. The day before Blackstock's passing, the singer revealed his illness while announcing that she was postponing her Las Vegas residency. 'Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas,' she wrote in an Instagram post at the time. 'While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them. I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding.'Best of SheKnows 13 Famous Women You Totally Forgot Elvis Dated Celebrities Who Died Tragically Young: Kelley Mack, Lucy Markovic, & More Our Favorite Photos of Dazzling Couple JFK Jr. & Carolyn Bessette

Stepdad punishes boy's disrespect with pushups and squats in viral video
A stepfather has gone viral for using exercise to discipline his stepson — and then sharing the video on Instagram. The boy was caught telling his mother to "chill" after he was told to stop his current behavior. His stepdad stepped in, asking the boy, "Did you just tell your mom to 'chill?'" He then instructed his stepson to do several push-ups, followed by 60 squats. "Count 'em," the man told his stepson calmly, as he moved through the workout. "Keep squatting. All the way down." The punishment was followed by a conversation where the stepdad asked, "Do we tell our mom to chill out?" The boy replied, "No." The man responded, "Absolutely not. I will not let you talk to my girl that way … Would I let anyone else talk to her like that? No. So, you don't get to talk to her like that." The two hugged it out, and the boy apologized to his mother with a wholesome, "Sorry, Mom." The stepdad ended the conversation by reassuring the boy that he was loved. "Hey, I love you," he said. The video, which was posted on the family's Instagram account, raisingmaletich, has since gone viral on social media, receiving millions of views. "I will never stop being grateful to be raising kids with a real man who knows how to be a father, especially to his boys." The mother, who wrote the caption for the video, shared the following. "I will never stop being grateful to be raising kids with a real man who knows how to be a father, especially to his boys. This is masculinity. I was trying to send a work email while making breakfast for my family and my son kept asking me to use my phone after I had repeatedly told him 'No, you need to wait.' His dad overheard him tell me to 'chill' and here is how he handled it." The parenting approach was met with mixed reactions, but many social media users shared their praise. "Stepdad did the right thing. Awesome!" one X user commented under Fox News' post of the video. "That's an awesome punishment. Good job on the stepdad!" another wrote. Educational psychologist and parenting expert Dr. Michele Borba reacted to the viral moment in an interview with Fox News Digital, noting that discipline is not one-size-fits-all. Borba, who is based in California, commented that the stepfather approached discipline the "right way" in this scenario, by responding calmly instead of reacting, and enforcing a punishment that seemed familiar and doable for the child. "It may be something that he and the kid did together or the kid is good at, because [he] seems to have no problem doing it," she said. "The most amazing thing the dad did was right on the mark … He said, 'Here's what was wrong.' He was very calm in his delivery," Borba went on. "And then he let his stepson know in no uncertain terms – you don't speak like that to your mom and I don't want you to do it again." "The huge red flag was going viral with it … you've got a real emotional issue now." Where the punishment went wrong, the expert noted, was when the parents posted it on the internet, at which point it became less about physical consequences and more about public humiliation. "Whatever was done now just crumbles, because the discipline is no longer face-to-face appropriate … it's shaming," Borba said. "The huge red flag was going viral with it, because now it's not guilt. It's shame. It's public," she added. "You've got a real emotional issue now." Borba stressed that discipline should always be age-appropriate and tailored to the child, as making a child do strenuous exercise they are not comfortable with would be considered inappropriate. For more Health articles, visit It is important for discipline to be delivered in a way that is both responsible and respectful, the expert said. "The key question is, will it enhance the child's behavior so they don't repeat the behavior?" Fox News Digital reached out to the parents for comment.
