A "loved and adored" dad-of-three has been tragically killed in a tram crash. The family of Wesley Tierney have been left devastated following his death.
The 29-year-old was killed earlier this month after a fatal collision with the vehicle in Manchester. Emergency services raced to the scene on January 13, but sadly the father had already passed away.
Manchester Evening News reports that his death came just days before his son's birthday. Wesley's family have spoke out in tribute to the much missed father.
His fiancée, Kirsty, says he was treasured by his family, especially his three children Nico, 11, Cody, nine, and Quinn, two. She added and she knew the pair would be "together forever" since the day they met.
Kirsty said: "What can I say about Wez? He was one of those people who would help anyone. He got on well with anyone who met him and I knew from the moment we met that we would be together forever.
"We were due to be married in the next couple of years and had a family holiday planned. Our eldest son's birthday was on January 18. He should have been here celebrating with us.
"Anyone who knew Wez knew he was family-oriented. He has left behind three brilliant children who adore him, as well as brothers, sisters, mother, family, friends, colleagues and myself.
"The support we have been shown over this past week has been amazing. I want to thank everyone personally who has taken the time to send us their condolences and prayers. Also, for those who have raised funds towards his funeral costs."
After Wesley's death, Kirsty's cousin, Chelsea, set up a GoFundMe page to help raise funds towards the funeral costs. Chelsea says the family was 'devastated' and that the dad-of-three would be 'missed and remembered by so many'.
