"He was a creative individual who pursued a creative life," the statement read.

Mr Vital, who worked in the catering industry, died alongside his mother, Marjorie Vital, with whom he lived on the 16th floor. She was confirmed dead at an inquest in July.
His "pursuit of happiness has been abruptly and dramatically stopped by the Grenfell Tower tragedy" and his family and friends "will miss him dearly", the statement added.

Iranian-born sisters Sakineh and Fatemeh Afrasiabi lived on the 18th floor, having moved to the UK in 1997.
Sakineh, 65, was disabled and was only able to move with the help of a walking stick, while Fatemeh suffered acute arthritis, according to her daughter, Aklani.
Inquests are also due to be opened into the deaths of Mariem Elgwahry, 27, and 45-year-old Deborah Lamprell.
