“We as a family are truly heartbroken.
“Dafydd had just turned eighteen, he had his whole life ahead of him.
“He was a very kind and loving boy who worshipped his family. He was a good friend to many people and had that little something about him. If you only met him for a minute, he would touch a place in your heart.
“Dafydd made the most of his life and was always smiling. He loved fishing and going to dog shows. He was a proper boy.
“Dafydd was a loving son, grandson, brother, nephew and dear friend and will be greatly missed.”
