Holdenhurst Road nightclub manager Shelley previously told the Daily Echo: ‘Tom was an incredibly talented young lad with a bright future. I am so saddened by what happened.
“Tom loved Bomo. I gave him his first opportunity there and he came to train when we were closed.”
A GoFundMe has also been set up by one of Tom’s childhood friends with the blessing of his family, raising over £3,500 so far to help with funeral costs.
