Hide AdFollowing Chris’ death his family paid tribute to him as “a wonderful husband, dad, brother, uncle - and friend to many”.
The family statement added: "The circumstances of his death, although tragic and unfathomable to us, his family, show the sort of man he was - to go to help rather than to turn away.
"Chris was also a man of faith who wanted others to also experience the joy he had found trusting in Jesus. We take comfort in these most difficult of times in our belief that he is with his Lord and Saviour, while we mourn his loss."
