Daniel was an outgoing, loving and private person. He had a dry sense of humour and was very popular amongst his family and friends. He was a caring and generous man who was willing to do anything for anybody.

We cannot describe how we are feeling at the moment, and don't think we have taken it in yet that he's been taken from us. We just keep waiting for him to walk through the front door. It's all just a bad dream. We don't want to sleep for fear of waking and realising that it's not a dream.

We have been overwhelmed and touched by the amount of support and sympathy shown by Daniel's family and friends so far and would like to say thank you for this. We would also like to thank the paramedics who fought to save Daniel's life and the police who initially responded.Daniel will be dreadfully missed and at this time our family would greatly appreciate privacy to grieve and come to terms with our loss.

– Lynda Ashton, Daniel's mum
