“He lived for his family, who were his life and would have done anything for us. Losing Kieron has left the biggest hole in our hearts, which will never be filled.

“He knew life was for living, not just existing. To honour his life, his family will continue to live with this same philosophy of helping others, living with gratitude, protecting the earth and understanding how short and precious life is.

“Kieron was one of a kind and is truly irreplaceable. Our lives will never be the same without him and we shall miss his positive attitude towards life and his sense of humour.

“Kieron will now live on through his children and in our hearts and memories, and we will never forget this most incredible man who touched so many lives with his kindness.

“He will never be forgotten.”
