Paying tribute to Aiden last week, his family said: “Aiden was taken from us just as his adult life should have been starting.
"There are no words to describe the pain the tragic events of Friday night have inflicted on our family.
“Aiden was more than just a son to me he was my best friend as well. His Mum and Gran Maureen are heartbroken he is gone.
Chloe, Kaisha, Shannay, Chantelle and Harley haven’t just lost their big brother but also their hero, who was always there anytime they needed him for anything.
“Aiden had such a big heart and so much more to give in life. His cheeky grin and daft ways will be missed by all who ever met and knew him.
“You have left a massive hole in everybody’s hearts that can never be filled again. You will be sadly missed!”
