It was a privilege to have known and cared for Gerwyn. He was a truly lovely man with a wonderful sense of humour who could always bring a smile to those around him. We shared many laughs and jokes together, and it was impossible not to enjoy being in his company.
I will never forget the look on his face back in October when we walked in dressed up as ghosts, we laughed for ages. He found it especially funny that Annwen had her back to us when we walked in so she had the fright of her life when she turned around😂

Gerwyn’s kindness, warmth, and character left a lasting impression on everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. He will be remembered not only for the laughter he brought but also for the way he made people feel valued and welcome.

My thoughts are with his lovely wife and family at this difficult time. It was clear to see how much they loved and cared for him, and they were always so kind and welcoming. Gerwyn will be greatly missed, but the happy memories and laughter he gave us will stay with us forever.

Rest peacefully, Gerwyn. It was an honour to know you❤️

Dad, our hearts are broken, but we are so grateful for every memory, every laugh, and every bit of love you gave us. You were our strength, our safe place, and the heart of our family. Life will never be the same without you, but we will carry you with us always.

Caru ti am byth
