His family has released a photograph of Mr Reeves and said he would be a "huge loss" to those who knew him.
They said: “Korrin was loved by everyone who met him – with a smile that lit up every room.

Officers are continuing to appeal for anyone who witnessed the incident, or who have information that can assist the investigation, to come forward.
Sergeant Craig Bartle, of Northumbria Police’s motor patrols department, said: “It is clear just how loved Korrin was and our thoughts remain with his family as they attempt to come to terms with what has happened.
“We are determined to get them the answers they deserve, and that’s why I’m continuing to ask anybody who thinks they might know anything that can assist our investigation to get in touch.
“If you were travelling on the A183 Chester Road around the areas of Grindon and Pennywell and think you saw a motorcycle around that time, please check any dashcam footage and let us know.
“Your information, no matter how insignificant you feel it may be, could prove the key to this investigation.”
