Terri Packer died aged 21 after a shopping trip to Meadowhall.
Terri, who had no known health problems, collapsed after racing Chris's daughter Ruby across the car park.
"Like the big kid she was she decided to race Ruby to the car, which she won. Then she said her eyes felt funny and she felt dizzy and she collapsed," said Chris.
Chris and Terri, of Sicey Avenue, Shiregreen, had been living together for just five weeks and Chris planned to propose on her birthday in April.
"She always used to put her hand in mine and say they fit like a glove. We were so in love we used to hate it when we went to work beacuse we'd be apart. We'd send 50 text messages a day," said Chris.
"She was always bouncing around and dancing. She loved music and she was full of energy like Tigger. It's such a waste of life.
