A GoFundMe page set up following Jordan's death states that he was "yet another painful addition to the disgusting knife epidemic that blights this country".

The page reads: "Jordan was always laughing and joking and always lit up a room. His distinctive laugh was infectious and his manner laid back, endearing and extremely charismatic."

According to the fundraiser, Jordan was recently grieving after his mum died with lung cancer earlier this year.

It was said he found the loss difficult to come to terms with as he had an “overwhelming love” for her and he intended to move away for a new beginning.

The GoFundMe description explained: “Jordan decided it was time for a new direction in life and was merely days away from a brand new beginning in life, with the help from brother Adam he was to move to Colchester and start a new career as a signage engineer.

“The pain of this is unbearable for many people but no-one more than Jordan's brothers and sisters who are now grieving for two of the most important people in their lives.”

The fundraiser was set up to help cover funeral costs to give Jordan the “send off he deserves” and ease the financial burden.
