TRIBUTES have been paid to a hugely popular young Wrexham man after his tragic sudden death.

Kyle Preston, aged 24, died unexpectedly in December - and will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

He is described as having been a "loving" and "larger than life" character, who was "living life to full".

The Leader: Kyle and family. Kyle and family.

Kyle, who grew up in Rhosrobin and was living in Rhosddu at the time of his death, had a passion for motorbikes, was an electrician by trade and was a very popular figure in the Wrexham area.

Kyle's mum, Linzi, paid a touching tribute to him.

She said: "He was really popular, had loads of friends and would always be out at weekends - he just lived life to the fullest.

"We all loved him so much, and I can't put into words how much we'll miss him."

Kyle, brother of Todd and Layla, got his first dirt bike when he was just five years of age.

The Leader: Kyle and his siblings, Layla and Todd. Kyle and his siblings, Layla and Todd.

"He absolutely loved his motorbikes," Linzi said.

"But more than anything he loved being with his family and friends. He was always playing jokes on people and bantering - he just brought smiles to people's faces."

A testament to Kyle's character is that Linzi has been inundated with hundreds of messages of love and support, and from people enquiring about attending his funeral.

The Leader:

With strict rules on the number of people allowed in Wrexham crematorium - Linzi is asking if people without invites could pay their respects outside of the building.

The funeral takes place on Tuesday, January 11 at 3.30pm.

Linzi also appealed on Facebook for someone to take ownership of Kyle's dog, Bruno - whom he was very attached to.

Thankfully, Bruno has found a new loving home in Caergwrle.
