In a statement from his family released by Police Scotland, Mr Bromell was described as a “loving Dad” and a “funny character”.
They said: “Robert Bromell, better known as Hogan to all his family and friends, with his cheeky smile and funny character.
“You would never not see Hogan without a smile on his face and a little joke to tell.
“It is a devastating loss and he will be missed by everyone that knew him. He was a loving dad to his two sons Kaiden and Kai and an amazing brother to Emma, Phil, Dave and Theresa.
“As a family we are devastated and truly heartbroken right now. Life will not be the same without him.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
