Yesterday Tommy's family paid tribute to him

“We are completely shattered at the loss of Tommy. He was a father, a son, a brother, an uncle and a friend to many.

“He has been stolen from us and we are completely heartbroken. He will miss out on so much of life, particularly seeing his beloved daughter grow up.

“The world is quieter without him in it and we will never fully recover. We are grateful for the support and love that we have received and hope you will all remember him as he was - a caring and generous man that lived his life to the maximum.

“We ask that you please respect our privacy at this time.”
