The family of a man who sadly died following a collision on the outskirts of Bala on 15 October have paid tribute to him.

Chris Johnson was 58 years old and from the Rhyl area.

He has been described by his family as an amazing, funny, caring family man who will be deeply missed by all.

They said: “Chris loved nothing more than to be out with his friends on his motorbike travelling the beautiful roads of North Wales, or spending time in the gym.

“He was always committed to supporting anyone including his family, friends and colleagues in their times of need.

“Chris was a husband, father, son, grandad, brother, uncle and cousin and the centre of our family. He could make you smile even at the most difficult times and saw the positives in so many things.

“Words cannot express the impact he had on so many. The family have requested privacy at this time to enable them to grieve the loss of Chris.”

Officers continue to investigate the collision which happened at around 7:35pm on 15 October on the A494 at Llanuwchllyn.
