His mother Angela and her husband Phill said: "Tom was a happy-go-lucky, witty son, a gentle giant with a big heart.
"He leaves behind his two-year-old son Jensen, who he loved dearly. Tom leaves behind a massive hole in our lives and hearts.
"He was easy going, the centre and life of a party; he loved to dress up and make people laugh, that was our Tom.
"He didn't care what people thought, he was too big a character for this life. He will be forever loved and missed by his family and friends.
"Tom was a big softie, a wonderful loving son, father, grandson, nephew and cousin who will be greatly loved and missed."
She said Mr Davies was a "massive" Swansea City football fan who had religiously supported the team.
Mr Davies's father Michael and partner Sue added: "Tom leaves a massive void in our family and our hearts. He was not only my son but also my best friend too.
"His face lit up a room, when he was with Jensen it was magical. Sorely missed, loved and never forgotten."
