The brother of a doting father-of-one who died earlier this week is urging people to get help if they are battling depression.

Krystian Sambucci, 26, had worked as a security guard at the Tesco in Cheriton High Street for the past few years, but was found dead on Wednesday.

Hailing from the centre of Folkestone, he became a popular figure in the town and was best known for enjoying nights out at Party Bar in Tontine Street.

Younger brother Andi Sambucci, 22, said: “Everyone knew him down there because he was just so happy dancing.

“Krystian always wanted to keep fit and loved a bit of boxing in his younger days.

"He would always go out of his way for people. He was the most loving, caring person anyone could ever meet.”

Krystian was educated at Stella Maris Catholic Primary School in Parkfield Road, before moving to St Edmund’s in Dover.

Almost five years ago, he welcomed into the world his only child, Tristan.

“He was his world and would have done anything for him,” Andi continued.

“He was a super daddy – everything he spoke about was about Tristan.

"He didn’t have a bad bone in his body; he would never hurt a fly. He was just so kind hearted.”

However, the much-loved security guard was found dead on Wednesday at his town centre home by loved ones.

It is believed Krystian had battled depression in the past.

“It was the biggest shock I’ve ever had,” Andi said. “No-one ever saw this coming. We’re really broken about it.

“We knew he was unhappy a few years ago. I sat on the sofa with him and he was crying on my shoulder.

“I said to him ‘Krystian, things are going to get better’ – and they did. But it just went south again.”

Krystian leaves behind six brothers and sisters, mum Lucia, dad Beau and Tristan.

Andi says his brother rarely spoke about his feelings. As a result, he is urging others wrestling with their demons not to suffer in silence.

“He would always keep himself to himself,” Andi explained.

“Other people going through the same things should speak up and not be scared. They should fight their corner and not feel alone.”
