Fiance Cheri said: “Jonny was an amazing dad, son, brother and fiancé who was devoted to his family.

“Our six-month-old son Leo meant the absolute world to him.

“We all loved him so much.

“He was excited about our wedding and future together as a family.

“We are just completely heartbroken.”

Jonny was on the first day of a three-day break with brother Matt and 19 close friends when the fatal accident happened.

Tom Bell, 34, one of his close friends from Wilmslow High School and fellow rugby player, said: “It is a gut-wrenching set of circumstances.

“All of us lads are enormously close to him.

“He had just bought a house and a new car and had a good foundation to start a new life with Cheri and Leo.

“He was a director of a recruitment firm and worked his way up to support his family.

“This was a horrendous tragedy.”

Jonny was returning from a night out in Puerto Banus at around 3am on May 27 when the accident happened.

Tom said: “He got lost trying to get back to the hotel and was hit by a car crossing a dual carriageway.

“It’s a blind corner. There have been 13 deaths there over the last five years.

“Nobody saw the accident.”

Jonny was taken to hospital.

The following day his friends were shocked to discover he was critically ill in a coma with brain injuries.

Sadly, he died shortly afterwards.

Jonny’s funeral was held on July 7, a week before he was due to get married.

Tom and his friends have launched a GoFundMe appeal to support Cheri and Leo.

Well-wishers have already donated almost £90,000.

Tom said: “His son looks exactly like him. He is a little mini Jonny.

“Sadly, he won’t remember Jonny but we’ve got to keep his memory alive.

“He’s got 19 ‘uncles’ who are all determined to make his life as good as possible, as Jonny would have wanted.

“Money doesn’t take the pain away but lifts the burden of responsibility.

“We’ll keep the fund open indefinitely. The lads are hoping to do challenges in the future.

“His dad Mike was heavily involved in Wilmslow Rugby Club. We had an event when he sadly died a few years ago.

“We’re hoping to have a full tournament for Jonny next year, a weekend of sports to raise money.”

The sudden death of Jonny has left a gaping hole in the lives of his family and friends.

Tom said: “Jonny was larger than life in exactly the right way.

“He was the one in the group who was the joker, having the most laughs and the most fun.

“He worked so incredibly hard and had done so well in his job and in his life.

“The impact he had on all of us, this will be a huge loss.”
