The family of Paul Butters has paid an emotional tribute to him.

The 37-year-old was found dead at his home in Ramsgate at the weekend.

He was the father of teenager Taiyah Peebles, who died near train tracks at Herne Bay rail station a month ago.

In a statement issued today, his parents said: "Our son Paul was such a gifted, loved young man.

"He was a very much wanted son and he had a beautiful soul and kind heart.

"His sisters would describe him as fun, talented and annoying but they all miss him so much a piece of our family is missing from all our hearts."

Police said the circumstances of his death are not suspicious and a report is being prepared for the coroner.

He will also be remembered by friends as Ramsgate micropub The Ravensgate Arms reopens tonight.

A post on the pub's Facebook page says: "The Ravensgate is full of good memories with Paul.

"We'll be donating the profits from Gamma Ray sold that night to a mental health charity, and we'll be making that charity our nominated charity for the pub."
