Heartfelt tributes have been paid to a doting family man, community champion and theatre actor who tragically died while snorkelling on a family holiday in the Caribbean. Dad-of-two and grandad-of-one Andrew Evans was in St Kitts, onboard P&O's Britannia cruise ship.
From Llanelli, Mr Evans was part of a group that went on a snorkelling trip at Peninsular Cove, South East Peninsular on Monday, March 27 when the tragic incident happened. He was brought out of the water and another tourist tried to revive him, but was unsuccessful, and he was pronounced dead by the District Medical Officer. Mr Evans was 60, a month away from his 61st birthday. It was later found that he died of a cardiac arrest.
Mr Evans was well-known in the Llanelli community through his long-standing work for first Dyfed County Council, which became Carmarthenshire Council in 1996 in IT and technical support. But he also embraced life in the community, and was part of the local theatre groups for decades, including The Academy Theatre Group and Llanelli Little Theatre.
