The family of a "loving son" who died in a single-vehicle collision in Pembrokeshire on Friday, July 29 have paid tribute to him. Thomas Canton - known as Tom - died following a collision involving his black VW Golf on the A487 between Solva and Newgale, at about 4.20pm.
The 22-year-old from Nolton Haven leaves his parents, brothers and grandparents. The family described Thomas as "a loving son, brother, and grandson who was a kind, thoughtful, polite, extremely intelligent and strong-willed young man that ensured he would take time out to ask how your day was".
They said: “He was an outgoing, adventurous boy who loved his skateboarding and had a real zest for life. He always had an answer for everything and was very quick witted, as well as hard working. Tom will be deeply missed by us as a family, the community and by his friends.”
