The heartbroken fiancée of a security guard "loved by everyone" in a Welsh seaside community has paid a moving tribute after his sudden death. Dimitar Hristov, a former heavyweight boxer, built a reputation as a "gentle giant" during his years working on the doors of Aberystwyth bars. The 44-year-old died on Tuesday while on holiday in his home country Bulgaria.
Dimitar, who worked at venues including the Angel Inn and Bar 46, was engaged to Gergana Georgieva. The couple first met two years ago in London. Gergana told WalesOnline: "His friend Galq is also my friend and she said: 'Gergana, my friend Dimitar would like to meet you... He will be your man forever, I am sure. He is like you. He is a big, big person with big heart.'"
Gergana said that for the next two years they were almost inseparable. Dimitar proposed on her birthday last November with a diamond ring. He told Gergana: "You are my love forever."
