Legendary Paisley DJ Stephen McIntyre has tragically died following a battle with cancer.

Affectionately known as Mini, the 43-year-old was working at Club 69, where he was loved by many.

He was diagnosed with stage three Hodgkin's Lymphoma when he was 19.

The Daily Record reported that he lived cancer-free for 20 years, after receiving chemotherapy.

Last year, the disease sadly returned and he was told there were no ways to fight it.

In an emotional Facebook post, the venue said: "Today, the Club 69 team will say a final goodbye to our dear friend and Rave Cave Champion, Mini. Often overused, but in this case highly appropriate - Mini was an irreplaceable legend.

"It feels terribly unfair that he had to battle this horrible disease THREE times in his short life, and we are devastated that he's no longer with us."

"Mini was our friend first and foremost but he was also a keen Club 69 promoter, technical wizard, a fantastic DJ, and a real leader in our wee club. As if that isn't enough Mini was our on-call painter, joiner, plumber and electrician, he really was DIY incorporated!

"Among Mini's many lifetime achievements, what really mattered to him was helping people and chipping in. Over the years at Club 69 Mini mentored many people, in his work and personal life, passing on wisdom and experience in his gentle and unassuming manner.

"Mini was instrumental in the foundations of the Rave Cave! Week in, week out he played a massive part in supporting and shaping the club as we know it.

"Always generous with his time, Mini was a team player - his cheeky wee smile and depth of knowledge of the Rave Cave was always on hand if anyone needed a hand with a missing cable or a loose leg. Mini was loved and respected by all within the team, He was always quick-witted and also an incredibly capable person in every endeavour that he participated in and around the club, and in everyday life.

"We were always inspired by his cancer battle and how he embraced his struggle. Even right up to his final days Mini was fighting the dreadful disease - head on!

"Mini - we hope you're at peace now pal! We love you dearly, and you will be sorely missed."
