Pike had been in hospital for a while, and continued to update his Facebook profile until a few weeks ago.

Condolences are pouring in on social media.

Many of his friends already changed their Facebook profile pics to an image of Pike with one of his beloved horses weeks ago, in support of his battle.

Our condolences to his loved ones.

UPDATE: Walter Pike's memorial will take place on Saturday, 15 December from 3.30pm at the East Rand Polo Club.
