Carl Fisher set up a JustGiving page for Mr Wilson, who had been married to his wife Lisa for less than a year.

Mr Fisher wrote: "Matthew Wilson was a kind loving and generous young man to all who knew him.

"Matthew was the type of person you could call on for anything and if he was able to help then you could guarantee he would.

"In Matthew‘s eyes if the people he surrounded himself with were happy then so was he, and that just shows what kind of personality he held and I for one am going to miss him and his infectious smile dearly.

"A true well spoken gentleman and a very polite young man are just a few words people are using to describe Matty.

Mr Fisher wrote that Mr Wilson was 'a loving husband, son, brother, uncle, and a big friend to so many'.

"We would like to help his family at such a horrible time of grieving to give Matthew a beautiful send off he so rightly deserves," he added.
