The family of Feilding dairy farmer Scott Guy, whose death police are treating as suspicious, have paid tribute to him.

Mr Guy, 31, was found dead in a Feilding driveway yesterday morning.

He was married to Kylee and the couple have a two-year-old son, Hunter. Kylee is pregnant with their second child and due in September.

Through police, Mr Guy's parents Jo and Bryan Guy said: "When he met Kylee she changed his whole life and becoming a father was the ultimate. He was hugely excited about becoming a dad again. He was so contented; had so many plans and goals.

"You couldn't take the cowboy out of him. He always wore his cowboy boots and hat and was turning Hunter into a 'mini-me' with his own little boots, cowboy clothes, lasso and whip.

"So many kids looked up to him; idolised him right since school. His talent was pulling people together as a team, putting them under his wing and being very generous with his time. He was so caring.

"He was much loved and so, so precious. It feels like such a huge hole has been ripped out of our insides. I don't think you can ever describe it. It's so cruel and devastating to have him taken from us."

Kylee said: "He was a wonderful husband and the best father you could ever have. He was so hands on with Hunter. He was just so perfect; we were just soulmates and he is my best friend. It's so unfair. You couldn't say a bad thing about him. Scott touched so many hearts - he had such a warm, kind nature.

"Hunter and our new baby are the main thing that is helping me through this devastating time."
