“We are in profound shock in the sudden death of Davey. To us he was just one of those people who was so down to earth and always first to offer help to anyone.

“Everybody who knew just got on with him as he always had smile on his face. He was such a hard worker and never let anything get him down.

“He was a keen cyclist and was out that day keeping to his fitness regime before he started another hard day’s work.

“He has died doing something that he loved and we as a family take some comfort in that.

“He was a father of two beautiful young children who are both now heartbroken with the loss of their Dad. He worshipped both his parents and was adored by all of his family.
