Family pay tribute to father who died in Nazeing street

A father-of-four found dead in a residential street last month has been described as "the greatest dad" by his family.

Jimmy Moore, 33, died in Palmers Grove in Nazeing in Essex at about 07:15 BST on 25 September.

Robert Crabtree, 33, of Palmers Grove, Nazeing has been charged with murder and possession of an offensive weapon.

In a statement, Mr Moore's wife said he was "the best husband, son and brother".

"He was the greatest dad to his four children," she added.

She said: "He will be missed by so many but his family will never be the same without him."

His mum, dad, and sister also said: "He was very hardworking and was a protective big brother - one in a million who we were so proud of."

Mr Crabtree is next due to appear at Chelmsford Crown Court on 25 October.
