The community of Preston, Lancashire, is mourning the death of Scott McManus, whose passing has left his family, friends and those who knew him heartbroken. News of his death was shared by his daughter, Lauren McManus, who expressed her deep grief and said she felt lost following the loss of her father.

In a heartfelt tribute, Lauren described Scott as someone she loved unconditionally and said her life would never be the same without him. She also remembered him with the knowledge that he was now reunited with his nan and grandad, something she said she knew was what he had always wanted.

Scott was also fondly remembered by The White Hart, where he had become a familiar and much-loved presence. The pub paid tribute to him by recalling the laughter, smiles, stories and memorable moments he brought whenever he walked through its doors.

Among the memories shared were the many silly moments that became part of Scott’s character, including his habit of hiding tiny ducks around the pub. Those small acts of fun helped create memories that staff, friends and regular visitors are now holding onto following his death.
