Without Jock, the days seem like they've been drained of colour, but today is one of pride and celebration," his wife and widow Lauren Zonfrillo bravely shared as she accepted an award for MasterChef Australia at the recent AACTA Awards on the Gold Coast.
And it has been a year of tears and triumphs for Jock's four kids - Ava, 23, and Sophia, 17, his daughters from his first two marriages, plus Alfie, six, and Isla, three, whom he shared with Lauren - as they've learned to navigate life without the Scotsman, who filled their days with his huge laugh and even bigger heart.
It was one year ago that MasterChef fans were anticipating the start of a new season, only to be left heartbroken when news broke of Jock's sudden passing.
The beloved celebrity judge died of natural causes in a Melbourne hotel room aged just 46, with MasterChef producers deciding to air his final season with his family's consent.
