A young man died of a brain tumour just days after attempts to save his life.

Arran Wheeler, 27, died at hospital last week surrounded by friends and close family.

He had been diagnosed with a brain tumour just weeks earlier after suffering from severe headaches.

Devastated parents Sandy and Paul described him as a “kind and wonderful son whose laughter would light up a room.”

Two Facebook tribute pages to the former Rickstones School pupil have been flooded with more than 100 tributes and messages of sympathy.
