Police arrested and charged Perry Coulson in connection with the dad's death. The 38-year-old, of Lesney Gardens, Rochford, has been charged with murder and appeared at Basildon Crown Court on November 30.
Mr Clark-Ellingford's mum paid tribute to the young dad of two "cherished" children and described him as "kind to all who knew him". She said: "Dominic was a much-loved son, brother, cousin, nephew, godson and father to his two children who he cherished.
"There was nothing he wouldn’t do for them and he loved the time they spent together going swimming, playing crazy golf and having fun. Dominic was a loving son to me, he was funny and kind to all who knew him. He had a real generous side to him as well.
"Dominic had a number of passions in his life which included watching and playing football and he was a keen Liverpool supporter. He enjoyed time at the gym with friends and had an interest in listening to music. Dominic had previously written a tribute song to a friend who passed away a few years ago, who he was very close to.
"He will be greatly missed by the entire family and anybody who was lucky enough to have known him throughout his life. Dominic’s sudden taking from us has left the family utterly devastated."
EssexLive reported Coulson will stand trial on July 10 2023. Essex Police has appealed to anyone who can assist with ongoing enquiries to contact a Major Incident Public Portal and quote incident 232 of November 25.
