They said: “Gabriel Lungu, a much loved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, was taken from us.
"Gabriel was truly one in a million. The most selfless, caring, and kind man you could ever wish to know.
“There was nothing you could ask of him that was too much - he would help in any way he could, no matter what.
"Regardless of any problems of his own that he might have had, he did his best to ensure everyone around him was happy and cared for.
“His death has left a hole in our family that can never be filled and he will be missed every day.”
