The family of a west Belfast man who "made an impact on so many lives" have told of how they have been left "broken" by his sudden death.
Paul Feeney, who was 35 and from the Springfield Road area, took his own life last week, leaving his loved ones "destroyed".
The father-of-two, who worked as a joiner, was found in the Upper Springfield Road area on Monday, September 21.
In the aftermath of the tragic death of her only brother, Paula Feeney has spoken out about the issue of mental health and has urged anyone feeling in distress to "go and get help.
"There's always a way to fix something," she said.
"Suicide is not the answer".
Paula said she and her three sisters and their mother, Rosaleen had now been left without Paul "forever", adding that he was still grieving for his father, Paul who passed away 13 years ago, at the age of 57.
Paula said her brother had made a previous attempt on his life in recent weeks and following this, the family came together to support him and get him the help he needed.
"He had all the help and had every single one of us and he knew it," she said.
"He opened up to all of us and we got him the help he needed. His mind was just tired".
Paula said her brother, an avid Manchester United fan, would be remembered as someone who was "caring" and who "looked out for everyone".
"He was just a joker," she said.
"He was very soft too. We knew his soft side and he missed my daddy an awful lot.
"He loved our mummy so much and was a mummy's boy."
"If his friends needed help, he helped them all. He was always there".
The mother-of-one said her brother's sudden death had also left the "whole community" devastated".
"We are absolutely devastated without him," she said.
"We are just broken as a family. We can't even bear to think of life without him now.
"At the minute people are sending us lovely photos of him in frames and we can't even bear to put them up. He was just such a big part of our lives".
Paula appealed to anyone feeling distressed to reach out for help.
"There is always light at the end of the tunnel, there is always a way out," she said.
"Go and get help. Suicide is not the answer. It just passes on the hurt".
