Ferguson was married to actress and television mogul Connie Ferguson and together they produced a number of DStv shows including Rockville, The Queen and The Throne.
Connie read a heart felt message for her husband: “One thing that I know for sure my love, is that you are walking with the Lord, and that you have been preparing for this day all your life, because everything that you did my skat, you did with a passion. Never known anyone as resilient as you, you have taught me so much. The past couple of days have been almost like a dream, really I still feel like I’m dreaming sometimes, it’s like I would wake up and none of this would be real, it will be all just a bad dream,” she said.
