Heartbreaking tributes pour in as couple die days apart weeks after wedding

Tributes have been issued to a young couple who died within days of each other just weeks after they tied the knot.

Adam Hencek, 23, and Tomas Feuller, 25, had only weeks ago walked down the aisle and got married to each other, with the Slovakian couple living in Carrick-on-Suir in the Republic of Ireland.

According to a GoFundMe set up by Adam's aunt Mirka Kohutovičová, which you can donate to here, Adam had died at their home on Tuesday 2 June, and his husband Tomas passed away three days later on Friday 5 June.

The fundraiser, which has reached its goal, was established to pay for the wake and cremation of the young couple as they were laid to rest together.

The Mirror reports that the couple's bodies were laid out for public viewing at Condons Funeral Parlour, Clonmel this Tuesday, with them being taken to Island Crematorium, Cork, the following day for a private cremation ceremony.

'The brightest light on this earth'

The paper noted that several people from their local community paid tribute to their memory, including a friend named Josephine.

She wrote: "To my darling friend, my condolences on your passing to your family at this sad time.

"Especially to your beloved Tomas. You were the brightest light on this earth and I know you’ll be the brightest star. You will be beyond missed."

Another who said that Adam had taught her how to play piano described him as 'a brilliant teacher and a gentleman' as she said her thoughts were with his family at this time of terrible grief.

A further woman who knew the couple through work said 'their energy and love of life was infectious' as she praised their memories and spoke of her sorrow to hear that the two men had passed away.

'Together in life, together in heaven'

Several others offered their sympathies to the families of the men who had died 'in the prime of their lives', saying they hoped Adam and Tomas's loved ones would 'find comfort in the memories of happy times shared together'.

"Such a tragedy. Two handsome young men passing over a month after their wedding," another mourner said as they posted a message of condolences on the couple's death.

"Together in life, together in heaven."

The GoFundMe Adam's aunt set up to help raise money towards their wake and funeral had a goal of amassing €12K in donations, and it met that target within the span of a day after the fundraiser was launched.
