Tributes have been paid to a much-loved York teacher who has died aged 44, just weeks after the birth of his son.
Dave Gibson had worked at All Saints RC School in South Bank since 2006.
He died after a short illness on July 7, the day after his 44th birthday, surrounded by his friends and family and just six weeks after the birth of his son, George, with his partner, Katie Low.
"Dave was the best partner I could have ever asked for; he was my biggest supporter and best friend. He faced everything with a sense of humour, compassion and an innate ability to just make everything better; I think that this is something felt not only by myself, but his many friends and family," said Katie.
"Dave had the kindest heart and made a difference to every single person who had the privilege of knowing him. I’m so grateful for our gorgeous son, George, who looks just like his daddy. I have so many special memories of our time together which I will hold onto forever and I look forward to sharing these with George when he is older. Life will never be the same without Dave, but we will do our best to make him proud and remember him in everything that we do."
