‘He loved his friends more than life itself, and disastrously, this led to his early departure from this world whilst helping a friend on this dreadful night.
‘We can take solace that Dafydd would always go out of his way to help his friends.
‘We just want to thank his friends for all the wonderful messages and memories they have shared of him and that his short life was filled with lots of love and happiness.
‘We ask that our privacy is respected at this sad time. But we thank everyone for their kind messages of support.’
