Police subsequently launched a murder investigation into the death of the 26-year-old, who had been struck by a red Vauxhall Astra that mounted a kerb and injured him at 1.12am on the Saturday. In a tribute released on Thursday, May 14, staff at the business said they were 'heartbroken' by his death, describing him as a "deeply loved and integral member".
"What Tyler meant to us went far beyond his role as assistant manager of our warehouse. He was kind, generous, full of life, and brought warmth and humour into every day. This place will never feel the same without his laugh, his energy, and the way he looked out for those around him.
Tyler Fairman, 26, died days after being injured in the early hours of Saturday, May 9"He was someone we all held in the highest regard, who we cared about greatly, and who was, without question, the life and soul of our team. As a small, close-knit company, we are mourning not just a colleague, but a friend who meant so much to us all.
"Tyler, you will always be part of the Universal Works family, and we will never forget you: for the joy you brought, the difference you made, and the lasting impression you leave behind. " Heaps of flowers and other items have been left in tribute to Mr Fairman in Arnold town centre, including one of the footballer's shirts which was placed by his club Woodthorpe Park Rangers and has been signed.

“There are no words now, nor will there ever be, to truly describe how broken this has left us all. Our hearts are shattered, and the world has become a much darker place without him in it," the family members said in a statement.
“Anyone who knew Tyler knew there was never a bad word to say about him. He was the kind of person who would do anything for anybody.
