The family of Will Frost have released a tribute
The family of a man who died following a crash near St Austell have paid tribute to him.
Will Frost, aged 39 and from Roche, has been described as a "generous" and "kind character", who will be "terribly missed".
His family said: "It is with a heavy heart that I write this sad news, not something I ever thought I’d have to write.
"Earlier today, Will, son of Ruth and Malcolm, brother to Ryan and myself, partner to Lucy and brother-in-law to Melanie and Lauren, was tragically taken from us whilst riding his motorbike on his way to work.
"As you all know, William James Frost was a larger than life, generous, kind character, and left an impression on everyone he met. He lived to the max and would do anything for anyone at any time. He has so many things planned in his life. He will be terribly missed by all his family, especially nieces and nephew Sarah, Charlie, Megan, Emily, Lerryn and ‘Ollie the Collie’.
"This message will probably come as a shock to everyone and as I’m sure you can imagine; we are all currently trying to process what has happened and trying to come to terms with it ourselves.
"We will publish further details and arrangements in due course.
"Rest in peace little brother, until we meet again, your family x."
