The tribute read: “Connor was a loving husband, daddy, son, brother and friend to so many!
“He was my first love, we have been together for six years and were just a few weeks away from our third wedding anniversary.
“Connor was such a funny, caring father to our three-year old and 19-month old sons. There is nothing he wouldn't do for them.
“Connor was the life and soul (the loudest) person that lit up any room or place that he was in.
“Connor and Kyle were the most loving and caring men you could have ever met and the closest of friends.
“We are devastated by the sudden loss of our rock! We will love, miss and remember you always.
“Love always Gem, Theo & Archie xx.”
