In statements Brenton’s family paid tribute to him.
One said:
“Brenton was a loving dad, partner, brother, uncle, grandad and friend.
“His passing will mean as a family we will walk with an emptiness in our hearts, that can only be filled by remembering what infectious energy he had, how pure his heart was, and that he was always willing to do what he could to make you smile on a rainy day.
“We would like to thank the emergency services and the bystanders for their efforts to try and save our dad. We will now begin to rebuild our lives and adapt to something we never thought we would have to, a life without our king.
“He was the funniest, kindest person who touched so many people’s lives. He had the ability to light up a room in such an unassuming and modest way. We will never stop missing him.”
Brenton’s younger brother Delvin Marriott said:
“This has been an extremely difficult process for our family, friends and community.
“I would like to thank the network of people and all professionals concerned who have supported us through this most difficult time.
“Brenton was well loved by so many and from the day I was born he has been by my side. He will be sorely missed. As his brother, I did my utmost to support him and his son, Rudi.
“Brenton thrived in his job at The British Red Cross, equipment services, aiding and supporting the community.
“Testimony to the love for Brenton and his widespread popularity is that over 3,000 Nottingham people attended his official sendoff ceremonies which included an unprecedented procession of high performance sports cars and Harley Davidson motorcycles.
“Brenton’s memory lives on through us all, Praise be to God.”
