In the days before his death, Baggs had announced his communications company was set to launch a new, cheaper and more accessible 4G network for the Isle of Man.

In a tribute written on Facebook, Baggs' sister Charlotte wrote: "Today my dearest brother Stuart Baggs gained his wings ... He was the biggest character and will leave the biggest hole behind."
