Gavin had two children and lived with his fiancée. In a statement, his family said: “Gavin was the most generous man this world could hold. A loving fiancée, son, dad, brother, uncle and a true loyal friend to so many.

“Too good for this world, that’s why he’s gone to a better place. Precious moments with Gavin will stay in our hearts forever. He was fondly remembered and so sadly missed by all who knew him. One in a million.”

Police Sergeant Daniel Byrne said: “Our sympathies are with Gavin’s family at this tragic time, as they try to come to terms with the loss of their loved one.
