HEARTBROKEN family and friends have paid emotional tributes to a 25-year-old Tywyn man who passed away suddenly at the weekend.

Described by his best friend as “a force of nature”, Adam Tucker passed away peacefully in his sleep on Sunday after a blood clot moved from his legs to his lungs.

Adam, who grew up surrounded by a close knit group of friends and family in Tywyn, has been fondly remembered by his family this week.

Ben Tucker, Adam’s older brother, described his late sibling as “hilarious” and “probably the most intelligent guy I’ll ever meet”.

Close friend Karl Goddard, for whom Adam was best man, said: “We’re all heartbroken”. Adam leaves behind his parents, Rob and Angela, as well his brother, and sister Karen.
