A lorry driver who died in a crash on the A7 has been described as a "loyal family man".
Hugh Mooney, known as Shug, died after his HGV left the road and hit a building on 22 May at Scotsdyke, Cumbria, close to the border with Scotland.
The family of the 48-year-old, from Morecambe, Lancashire, said he was "a brilliant friend to many, who would do anything to help anybody".
Cumbria Police has asked any witnesses to the crash, which happened at about 16:10 BST, to contact them.
No other vehicles are believed to have been involved, the force added.
In a statement, Mr Mooney's family added: "To say our lives will never be the same really doesn't do our pain or loss justice.
"We as a family, have lost the most beautiful soul, I as his wife have lost my soul mate.
"Shug will always be missed and forever loved."
