In a tribute to him, Andrew’s family said: “A loveable rogue, with a heart of gold, you have left us with a great big hole.
“A loving son, father, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, partner and friend.
“God has decided he's got a job for you, son, in the heavenly garden above, instead of down here on earth.
“He wrapped you swiftly in his arms and flew you straight to heaven.
“Now, you can ride free and easy, knowing how much we loved you, and in return, you loved us.
“You will be deeply missed.
“Always remembered in the cheeky stories shared together, with all our family and friends.
“Love always.”
