The family of a Falmouth man who died last week have paid tribute to a man whose "life was just beginning."

Aaron Pill, 25, was found seriously injured in a house in Tresawle Road on Tuesday last week and despite the best efforts of emergency services he could not be saved, police said.

Now his sister Keeley-Rose Sims has paid tribute to Aaron on behalf of all his family, saying: "Aaron was so gentle and caring, he always helped out others where he could.

"He overcame so many hard moments in his life but through it all he still stood strong."

She spoke of his many plans and ambitions for the future, one of which was his strong passion for gardening.

"He was forever planting new trees and looking after his garden. That was one of many things he took pride in and really enjoyed, which led him to starting his own business growing micro greens," she said.

"At the age of 25 his life was just beginning really.

"Aaron was an amazing father, brother, son and uncle and he will be terribly missed by all of us; taken far too soon."
