The heartbroken family of a taxi driver who took his own life said "the world was just too much for him."
Adam Rowbottom, from Liverpool, tragically died on 17th April.
The 27-year-old had been suffering with his mental health and before his death was recently diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder the Liverpool Echo reports .
He leaves behind his mum, Julie Whitlock, 50, dad, Brian Rowbottom, 51, and siblings Charlotte, 28, Alex, 12, Summer, 11, and Ethan, six.
Remembering her little brother, sister Charlotte said he was “the best brother” with an “adventurous” and “free spirit.”
A Go Fund Me page has been set up in his memory to fund the cost of his funeral and headstone.
Charlotte said: "Throughout his entire life, which has been 27 years, I've never met one person who has a bad word to say about him in that whole time.
"He was so adventurous. He loved hiking and canoeing, he was so fun to be around.
"He just wanted to be in the Lake District away from the rat race - he wanted to be free.
"As a brother he was just the best. Last year we went to Scotland for five days, just me and him, camping in the middle of nowhere.
"As a kid he would just be up for anything. I've got a million stories of the stuff he used to do that was just hilarious.
"We'd tell him to go to the shop dressed up all silly and he'd do it just for a laugh to make you smile."
Adam, who was a self-employed taxi driver, had been going through financial difficulties, Charlotte said and spent large parts of his adult life sofa surfing at friends and family’s houses.
When he began suffering with his mental health, he was prescribed medication and put on a waiting list to see a psychiatrist for further help.
Charlotte said: "He was always the quiet and sensitive one as a kid, I think that's why the world got to him so much.
"He struggled, really struggled, expressing his emotions.
"He did speak to me more than anyone else but I wasn't capable of fixing his problems for him. Not only that but when it's family it's harder to speak to someone.
"I would open these conversations up but I never knew how to help him through them.
"He was begging for help off the system. He was ringing the doctors all the time."
A fundraising page set up to raise money for Adam's funeral has raised over £5,000 in donations so far.
A message on the page reads: "Our beautiful amazing Adam, sadly passed away on the 17/04 - our loving Son, Brother, uncle, grandson, cousin, nephew & friend.
"The world was just too much for his sensitive soul and our lives will never be the same without him.
"A void in our lives that will never be filled. Adam was one of a kind, always there to help anyone and he loved to be outside exploring the different parts of the world.
"We would like to raise some funds to help his Mum and Dad with the financial burden of the funeral at this unimaginable time.
"No parent should have to go through this! We are so grateful for any donations and messages of support. Fly high our beautiful boy."
