Man who was stabbed to death 'had biggest heart'

A man who was stabbed to death in south Manchester had the "biggest heart" and "brought laughter and joy to the world with his big bright smile and loud laugh", his family said.

Drew McCormick, 29, was found with serious injuries on Southwick Road in Wythenshawe at about 23:35 GMT on Thursday and died shortly afterwards.

Paying tribute, his family said he was a "fun-loving person" who "would do anything for those he loved".

Greater Manchester Police said Lewis Morley, 19, of Ryecroft Grove, Manchester, has been charged with murder and remanded in custody to next appear at Manchester Crown Square Court on 10 March.

McCormick's family said: "There are just not enough words to describe Drew and the impact he had on many lives."

They said he "loved his family deeply even more than TikTok".

"He has left a huge hole in our hearts, and our lives will never be the same.

"We love you Drew and will keep you in our hearts forever," the family added.

McCormick's friends have raised more than £2,000 on a fundraising page to help the family with funeral costs.
