The family of a 30-year-old man who died in Wellington last week have said he was in the ‘prime of his life with so much to look forward to’.

Lewis Smith, who lived in Taunton, died on Tuesday 7 February having been found critically injured at a house in Jurston Lane that morning.

His family said: “Lewis was a beautiful young man in the prime of his life with so much to look forward to.

“He was a treasured son, brother and nephew, loved so very very much by us all and our hearts have been completely broken by his tragic death.

“He was a shining light in the lives of so many people, always ready to enjoy life to the max.

“Despite many difficult times in his life, Lewis never gave up and always came back fighting, positive he could succeed.

“Rest in peace, Lewis. You will remain in our hearts forever and we will miss you every minute of every day.”

A 33 year old man has been charged with murder.
