Tributes are being paid to a Teesside Grandad, who died after an incident in Ingleby Barwick.

60-year-old Brian Darby, from Ingleby Barwick, died after an alleged incident in the Myton Way/Rings area of Ingleby Barwick.

His family today said: “We are completely heartbroken at the sudden loss of our beautiful Brian. Nobody could ever understand just how much he meant to us all.

“He was special in so many ways. He was an absolute gentleman who cared so much about people. He always made time for us, nothing was ever too much trouble for him.

“Brian lived life to the full, he never wasted a moment. He loved to socialise and everyone adored being around him. Brian was also a proud grandad and his future with his grandchildren has now been taken away from him.

“We are grateful for the kind words of support from the community but we respectfully ask that we are now given some privacy to allow us to process what has happened as a family.”

Two men aged 29 and 56 were charged in connection with the incident and will appear at Teesside Crown Court on Wednesday 14th February.
