In an emotional statement after his death, they said: "Arnold, our son, brother, uncle and friend, was a loving, caring and kind-hearted man.

"He was loved by so many people and had his whole life ahead of him but taken way too soon. We will all miss him so much and words cannot describe how we are feeling at this terrible time.

"We will remember Arnold for the man he was maturing into. He was focusing on his health and going to gym every day.

"He had a real interest in foraging for herbs such as rosemary, thyme and sage, and turning them into herbal tea."
