A man has paid a heartbreaking tribute to his twin who passed away after a short illness. Ian Taylor, 46, says his life will be spent missing his twin brother Dean after his passing on Sunday, March 12. He hopes to erect a memorial bench in his memory at the pair's favourite fishing spot as a lasting tribute to his twin.
Both born and raised in Wildmill, Bridgend, Ian said: "From a very early age Dean and I were inseparable, even though we fought we were always there for each other. Being a twin comes with a bond that is unshakeable." The pair attended Litchard School then moved onto Brynteg, before both choosing to study catering at Bridgend College.

"We grew up in Wildmill with our mum Jean, dad Mal, who we sadly lost to cancer last May, brother Lee and sister Sharon. I have great memories of holidays together, for many years we went camping as a family to Trevarrian Holiday Park in Cornwall. We made many lifelong friends there. Cornwall was a particular favourite of both myself and Dean, we visited frequently and always felt at home there," Ian explained. "Dean and I were inseparable, we worked together, we lived together, we fought together, we laughed together, we fished together we did everything together."
