THE family of Louis Bednall, who died following an incident in Yeovil, have paid tribute to a courageous and fearless man. “Louis was a father, grandfather, son, partner, brother, friend and everything in between and he filled these roles so whole-heartedly, they said. It doesn’t matter who you were, if you were in Louis’s life you were family and if you needed him, he would be there unequivocally. “He was courageous and fearless and lived the fastest life, surrounded by, and giving so much love, into every crack of everyone’s being.
