A 34-year-old dad-of-four tragically died after suffering a fractured skull during a stag-do in Liverpool. Alex Jones, an electrician from Birmingham, was enjoying the night out on March 28 when he sustained an injury that left him with three bleeds on his brain.
He fell into a coma and died on April 10, leaving behind his partner Paige and their four children, Daisy, Riley, Taylor, and Skye, who range from one to 14-years-old.
In the wake of the tragic event, Alex’s sister, Beth Horridge, has set up a fundraiser to support his devastated family. The fundraiser has raised over £17,000 so far.
Speaking after her brother’s tragic death, Beth said: “The fundraiser is amazing… the amount of people and money we have raised has been out of the world and we most definitely didn’t expect such a high number.”
She fondly remembered her brother, saying: “Alex was the joker of the family forever playing jokes, making us all laugh. He loved life and he really did light up any room he walked into, he was the best dad to his four children and the best partner to Paige and his four children.”, reports the Liverpool Echo.
“Alex was the main breadwinner in the relationship with his own business. We set up the fundraiser to help Paige and the children to adapt to life without Alex and his income also to help the family give him the best send off as Alex was so young and a funeral is something we have never discussed.

“As a family it has left a huge hole in all of our hearts and the world will never be the same without him. I can’t even begin to share the hurt we are all experiencing at the moment.
“He most certainly was the best big brother, son, dad, partner, just an amazing man. I know people say it – but he really did not deserve this.”
Writing on the GoFundMe, Beth said: “Alex was a vibrant, kind-hearted person who lit up the lives of everyone around him.

“As a devoted partner and father, he was always there for his family-whether it was playing with Daisy, Riley, Taylor, and Skye, supporting Paige, or being the rock they could all lean on.
“He was also a cherished friend, known for his wild personality and love for a pint of beer, often bringing laughter and energy to every gathering he attended. His loss has left a void that words cannot describe.”
Merseyside Police are investigating Alex’s death and an arrest has been made.
A spokesperson for the force said: “A 31-year-old man from Birmingham remains on bail for s18 wounding and enquiries remain ongoing.”
