“As his parents, he made us so proud in what he had achieved. Kyle had a great future ahead of him.

“Kyle will be greatly missed by all his family and friends.

“RIP Kyle.”

Connor's widow Gemma said about the pair: “Connor and Kyle were the most loving and caring men you could have ever met and the closest of friends."
