Bradley's family have released an image and paid tribute to him.
In a statement, they said: “[On Thursday], we lost a very special person. Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing Brad will understand how devastated we all are.
“He was the kindest, most loving person, who could light up a room with his energy and smile and his contagious laugh. He had a massive character, full of life, charming and funny.
“This is truly a huge loss to us all, taken from us so young with his whole life and future in front of him, and having only just become a Dad to a beautiful son of only seven weeks old.
"He leaves behind his beloved fiancée, son, his mum and stepdad, his dad, and two devoted sisters."
