🌟 Heartbreaking Loss in Lanzarote 🌟
We’re devastated to share the tragic news of Darren Silcox, a beloved father and cherished shopkeeper from Cwmbran, who tragically passed away after a fall from a hotel balcony in Lanzarote. At just 56, Darren was on holiday in the Canary Islands when the balcony rail reportedly gave way, leading to this terrible accident.
Darren was known for his warm heart and dedication, running two popular shops in Pontnewydd and Five Locks. His unexpected passing has left the community in shock. Heartfelt tributes are pouring in from loyal customers and friends who remember him as hard-working and always there with a smile. One local shared, “This is terribly sad; he was such a lovely man who touched so many lives.”
Thoughts are with his family, especially his two sons who now face life without their parents. It’s truly a tragic blow for everyone who knew and loved him.
Spanish authorities are investigating the incident, focusing both on maintenance issues and safety measures of the resort. The hope is to bring clarity and justice to this heart-wrenching situation.
Torfaen councillor David Daniels fondly remembered Darren, saying, “He was at the heart of our community, always friendly, always there.” It’s clear that his absence will be deeply felt by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. 💔
Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. Let’s all keep Ellie, Connor, and the entire community in our thoughts. 🙏
Stay safe and cherish your loved ones. 💔
