They added: "Martyn was the icon of all our lives. His infectious laugh and his niche sense of humour will stay with us forever. He lived for every moment of every day and fitted an entire lifetime of memories into his 29 years. Whilst they have taken the life out of Martyn, no one can, and ever will, take Martyn out of our lives."
