Susie Cave posted a tribute to Jethro on her Instagram account shortly after the news of his death was made public, simply writing "Darling Jethro".
In a 2018 letter to a fan, Cave wrote about the grief he felt after Arthur's death.
"I feel the presence of my son, all around, but he may not be there. I hear him talk to me, parent me, guide me, though he may not be there," he wrote.
"He visits Susie in her sleep regularly, speaks to her, comforts her, but he may not be there. Dread grief trails bright phantoms in its wake."
