In a statement, Mr Lewis’ family said: “Fergus was loved by all whose lives he touched. He was kind, caring and a lot of fun to be around, always looking for the next adventure.

“He loved the outdoors and was always so full of energy and life. He loved his job where he worked hard outside all day and then rushed home to surf, the sea was his happy place. His passion was his car which he spent many hours working on, learning along the way.

Homage added: “Fergus was just an amazing young man, we are so proud of him. We can’t believe he’s gone, but take solace in the fact that he will never be forgotten by so many.

“He was our rock and we will love and miss him forever.”
