George Glover was punched in the "unprovoked attack” on Narborough Road and succumbed to his injuries on Thursday at the the Queen‘s Medical Centre in Nottingham.
A total of three people have been arrested as part of the murder investigation of the "loving and loyal" brother and son.
In a tribute to George, his family said: "His loss is already felt so deeply.
"He was a hardworking, focused young man who worked so hard to get a job he loved and enjoyed."

"He went to work, then came home to enjoy his gaming or putting bike parts together. He very much kept himself to himself.
“His siblings looked up to him and as soon as he arrived home, the banter with them would start. He was loving, loyal and had a good sense of humour. He enjoyed anime, Lego and Pokémon cards.
"He had a tough start in life with physical challenges but we’re so proud of the young man he’d become. We know there are so many people who’ll miss him as he was held in such high regard.”
A 24-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder on Friday and remains in custody.
A 31-year-old man and 39-year-old woman, who were previously arrested on suspicion of robbery and conspiracy to commit murder, also remain in custody, the force said.
Officers from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit are appealling for anyone who may be able to assist with their inquiries to get in touch.
Detective Inspector Kevin Hames said: “From what we’ve been able to determine, this was a violent and unprovoked attack that’s sadly led to a young man losing his life.
“We owe it to his family to identify those responsible and bring them to justice – and I’m appealing for public help ensuring this happens.
“Narborough Road is a busy route in and out of the city. Please cast your mind back to Monday morning. Were you there? What did you see?
"If you can help but haven't yet contacted us, please be assured it's not too late and anything you're able to provide, including any footage, could be vital to our investigation."
