“He leaves behind his heartbroken wife, children, mum, siblings, and friends.

“The shock of losing Brian so unexpectedly has devastated our family.

“As we come to terms with this loss, we are also facing the significant costs of bringing him home from Spain and arranging the funeral and memorial he deserves.

It continued: “Any contribution, no matter how small, will help cover repatriation and funeral expenses and ease the financial burden on his loved ones.
