Nathan, an identical twin of jockey Tommy Berry, leaves behind his grief-stricken wife of just two months Whitney Schofield, the daughter of fellow jockey Glyn Schofield. The promising 23-year-old, who before his marriage earlier this year rode the winner in the $2 million Magic Millions Stakes on the Gold Coast, was struck down by viral encephalitis in Singapore two weeks ago before being diagnosed with Norse Syndrome, a life-threatening condition related to epilepsy. Late yesterday, Nathan’s father-in-law Glyn Schofield posted a wedding photo of Nathan and his daughter Whitney on Twitter, along with the caption: “The man we love so much and will miss even more. Losing you cuts so deep buddy. R.I.P.”
