A young man described as “kind and hardworking” has tragically passed away at the age of 21, leaving his friends and family devastated. George Newton, who hailed from Lampeter but had been living in Aberystwyth for the past few years, was remembered fondly for his gentle nature and passion for gardening. His friend, Elis Kenney, spoke on behalf of George’s family and shared that George was known for his kindness and love for the outdoors. She mentioned how George always had a smile on his face and a knack for cracking jokes, bringing joy to those around him.
George was the youngest of four siblings and had tried various jobs before discovering his love for gardening, which eventually led him to establish his own gardening business. During his time in Aberystwyth, George connected with both students and locals, offering help and support to those in need. His friends set up a memorial area in the woods where he grew up and organised a celebration of his life in Aberystwyth, reflecting on his caring and supportive nature.
A humanist funeral was held for George recently, where Elis described it as a touching tribute to his memory. Despite the loss of someone so special, George’s spirit managed to bring people together even after his passing. Elis set up a fundraiser to assist with the funeral costs, highlighting the impact George had on those around him.
George’s sudden death has left a void in the hearts of many, but his loved ones find solace in cherishing the memories and the laughter he brought into their lives. His legacy as a kind, humorous, and compassionate individual lives on in the hearts of all who knew him.
