"It hits home that anything can happen to anyone. I'll definitely be holding my loved ones tighter and appreciating what I've got a lot more."

Another friend said: "In total shock, never take the time you spend with someone for granted.

"You never know what's round the corner. Rest easy Nathan Craig. Will be sadly missed by many."

A third added: "It was a pleasure having you as a mate of mine.

"It doesn't feel real we sat in mine on Saturday having a drink and a good laugh with some of the boys now you're not here. Fly high bro you will never be forgotten. This isn't goodbye this is just goodnight my man."
