Jordan Wyatt’s body was found by the police in the River Exe on Thursday after the dad-of-two went missing on Monday morning. While the frantic police search ended in tragedy, tributes continue to pour in for Jordan and his family. A fundraiser has now been set up for his grieving family to help with the cost of his funeral as well as the care of his children, Mason and Scarlett. 

The 31-year-old Exeter man, who was described as “a vibrant and enthusiastic” person, was last seen at around 4am near St David’s Hill in Exeter.

He was reported missing which sparked a huge search operation and involved a police dive team and helicopter.

Writing on the GoFundMe page, Jordan’s family issued a heartbreaking plea to send their beloved husband and father on one “final shift”.

The fundraising page has so far raised an impressive £7,170 at the time of writing, well beating the original £5,000 donation target.

“We’d like to unite and send Jordan on his final shift and we really need to ask for your support.
