“My brother was a really nice chap who cared about everyone and everyone cared about him, his death in such circumstances is so sad and a waste of a life. He wasn't a hero or a brain-box but just a down-to-earth guy,” said Mr Millward.
He said that Jason's parents, mum Janice Johnson, of Caister, and dad, Barry Pitchers, of Yarmouth had been left distraught at their son's death in such tragic circumstances.
