In a family tribute, Dean’s wife Laura said: “Dean Williams – Dean Arms, Dean.

“A loving husband, dad, doting grandfather, brother, brother-in-law, uncle and daddy to the fur babies.

“My beautiful husband passed away in the early hours of Friday morning in a road collision, riding the vehicle he loved.

“He had three passions in his life: his family, his motorbikes and the gym. A well-liked Trealaw boy, who will be truly missed.
