Family tribute to Tommy Oakes

The family of Tommy Oakes, aged 46, who was sadly found dead inside a home in Newton-le-Willows on Sunday 4 February, have issued a tribute.

They said: "Tommy Oakes was a loving son, dad, brother, partner, uncle and friend. Tommy lived a life full of love, laughter, fishing and music.

"After his family, DJing is what he loved most and everyone that knew him knew he had an ear for a good tune and could bring a smile to the face of anyone that had the pleasure of meeting him during his 46 years of life.

"He will be remembered for always cracking jokes and making light of any situation. He was, and will forever be, cherished by his three children, partner and siblings and will be deeply missed by all his family."

Two women from Newton-le-Willows, aged 52 and 27, were arrested on suspicion of murder and released on bail pending further enquiries.
