"Heartbroken doesn't even come close."

Suggest reported that the Arrochar Mountain Rescue said that Police Scotland led the search for Ure, and that a helicopter was also used.

"Andy was not only the rock in our band, he was the rock in our lives," a post to The Ray Summers Facebook page read. "This hurts so much. All our love & strength goes out to Andy's Linsey & his two wee boys, his family & all that were so lucky to know him."

Lindsey Waddell, his partner, also issued a statement.
