HUNDREDS of tributes have been paid to a 'very popular' teenager who died suddenly.
Twm Williams, 18, who worked and studied in St Asaph, died after a seizure in the earlier hours of January 8.
The oldest son of Bryn and Sioned Williams of Bylchau, Twm was known for his 'zest' for life, his popularity amongst his friends and his love of music.
“As a family we are reeling in shock as we mourn the death of our wonderful, beautiful boy,” said Mr and Mrs Williams.
"The night he passed away he was happy and bursting with enthusiasm about his plans to head for New Zealand to follow his latest adventure.
"Twm leaves a huge void in all our lives but his memory will burn forever as bright as any star and he will always be with us.”
Twm, who leaves behind five brothers and sisters, was a former student of Ysgol Glan Clwyd in St Asaph.
He went on to study an animal management course at Llysfasi College, which he completed last year.
Twm also worked for Jones Peckover’s livestock market, St Asaph.
Steven Morris, of Jones Peckover said: "Twm was a hard working, bright and happy young boy, who will be sadly missed by everyone at St Asaph Livestock Market.
"Jones Peckover would like to send its condolences to all his family and friends at this sad time."
Headteacher at Ysgol Glan Clwyd Martin Davies said: "It is a very sad day here at Ysgol Glan Clwyd. We would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the family.
Twm was a very fun loving, out going character. He had a great interest in conservation and environment and animal welfare.”
Messages of condolences have been left in their hundreds on Twm's Facebook page.
“I looked up at the stars in the sky and thought how perfect it is, then realised it’s because you’re up there, I miss you Twm," said Sian Jenkins.
“I know you'll be partying hard up there and I know you're watching us lovely, we'll make you proud I promise, love you matey,” said Beth Jones.
Wrexham's coroner’'s office said Twm died of a “natural cause”.
