He was adored by us – his Mum, Dad, and his brother Dean, his girlfriend Courtney, his Auntie Karen and Uncle Neil, Uncles Richard, David and Michelle and family. He was loved by all of our extended family, his many friends, who all played a massive part in his life, and everyone who knew him.
“We are absolutely devastated to lose our beautiful boy. It is something we will never get over, and his death will leave a huge void in all of our lives and those of his many friends.
“We would ask for privacy at this time, while we try to deal with our loss, and would ask people not to speculate about the accident while the investigation is going on.”
