Craig Wass, a father of four was struck by a brick and killed after asking a gang of drunken youths outside his home in Loxley, Sheffield to 'calm down'.
Craig died in the arms of his mother Christine and sister Tracey as his fiancee Andrea pleaded with him to 'wake up'.
Hi fiancee Andrea, mother to 3 of his children said "He was tired of all the hassle. He was desperate to move. He used to dread each weekend because we knew there would be lads outside drinking and causing trouble."
Craig's mother, who lives in a house on the opposite side of the road said "I saw my only son killed in front of me. All he said was 'Calm it down a bit'. One of the gang threw a brick at his head before hitting him with another one."
Craig had moved to the estate 3 years earlier to be closer to his family, but had dreaded living their since youths had threatened his sister and had pulled a knife on him previously. They had constantly phoned the police for help and it has been said that Craig was now planning to move away from the area.
A 19 year old has been charged with the murder.
Our thoughts are with Craig's 4 children, his family and his friends at this sad time.

I did not know craig well but i do know andrea. I do know one thing and thats ,that i could not imagine what her and her children are going through right now.My heart breaks for them and the terrible way craig was taken from them. I really hope they lock the boys away forever, i know it won't heal your pain. And it wont bring craig back but it may bring you some peace of mind. I am thinking of all of you at this very sad time. Love charlene, anthony and kids. x x x
