The funeral of a young Craigavon father-of-five, who died suddenly after going missing earlier this week, is to take place on Sunday.
Jonathan Roberts went missing on Monday morning, prompting a wide-scale search.
Tragically that search was stood down following the discovery of his body on Wednesday.

He was also the beloved son of Judith Jennett and John Roberts and stepson of Joanne; much loved brother of Conor, Emma-Jane, Jason, Steven, Jamie-Lee, Antonia, Dillan, Alicia and Naomi – also Cohen and Chloe mum Ava.
His funeral will take place on Sunday at 9.15am from his granny’s, Mary Roberts home, 27 Larkfield Meadows to St Anthony’s Church for 10am Requiem Mass. Interment afterwards in St John’s Lylo.
Tributes continue to pour in for a young man who left an indelible mark on so many people.
One person described him as a legend and “a true gentleman who always brought a smile to so many faces. I’m so sad. Praying for Kat all your family and your beautiful children at this sad time. Heaven truly gained an amazing person.”
