Sean McKay, 23, was walking home from work when he was stabbed to death in Dalry, Ayrshire, in October 2021.
Gavin McVey was found guilty of murder following a trial at the High Court in Paisley and was sentenced to a minimum of 21 years in prison.
Police Scotland said McVey stabbed his victim for “absolutely no reason other than his own wickedness”.
Sean's family have taken part in a new Channel 5 documentary on the case called Murdered At First Sight.
He had a son with his girlfriend Chloe McCormick and little Oscar was a year old at the time of his daddy's death.
Chloe, 25, said: “I just miss his laugh, hearing his voice. He made everyone laugh all the time.
