Twelve members of Jon's family will join locals in a search, beginning at the Bonnington Hotel at 9.30am.

His sister Anna says she is missing her rock: "There's a whole gap in the family. We're really connected, we have a good relationship.

"When I'm about to get into trouble or about to be depressed he calls me before that happens and tells me that no problem is too big to solve.

"He is a comfort."
