A 29-year-old man has been charged with the manslaughter of Aaron Emery, who died three days after an incident in Preston city centre.
John Wilson, 29, of Riverside in Bamber Bridge, was due to appear at Preston Magistrates' Court on Wednesday morning.
Mr Emery, who has a sister and three brothers, used to go to Lostock Hall High School and worked as a self-employed safety and fire alarm engineer.
His mum, Lisa Hensman, said on Tuesday: "Aaron was a much-loved son and brother, and he will be sadly missed by all his friends and family.
"This is such a tragedy and it is hard to believe that he has gone. Our thoughts will be with him always and we will never forget him.
"Today would have been Aaron's 24th birthday and we should have been celebrating that. Goodbye son and Happy birthday. We will miss you."
