"What is sadness today will be pride tomorrow, as we smile and remember our friend Tony."
Another friend wrote: "What a positive impact Tony had upon so many lives as he developed from a boy to a young man.
"Gentle in nature, motivated, smiling and always a great ambassador for Scottish Sprint paddling."
