Hearts-daft John Arthur, 40, was described as a 'brilliant dad' and a 'perfect gentleman' who would do anything for his friends and family

Tributes have poured in for a dad-of-three who died suddenly at his Edinburgh home, leaving family and friends heartbroken. John Arthur was tragically found dead on Thursday April 13.

Mary said: "We are just in shock - we were always very close. He was a beautiful father to three amazing kids - Chloe, Louise and Joshua. He was also very close with my two sons Jordan and Brendan - he was like a brother to them. I’m absolutely heartbroken, he was my rock. My brother was an amazing man.

"He would do anything for his friends and family and his smile was contagious. John was a true gentleman, one of a kind. He was a wind up too, especially to me about my mum which has been a running joke since the night we meet and she was driving the taxi home.
