The emergency services were called just after 7pm on Friday 14 October following reports of a serious collision between the Scredda and Carclaze roundabouts on the A391 near St Austell. A black Honda motorcycle had been involved in the collision, along with a white Citroen Berlingo van and a grey Peugeot 207. Sadly, the rider of the motorcycle, who has since been named as 18-year-old Kaius Tutt from St Austell was pronounced deceased at the scene, despite the best efforts of paramedics and police. On the 1 of his funeral, his mum has paid the following tribute: “Kaius – Loved so much by all that knew him. Kaius was the 6”7 teen who couldn’t be missed, but not because of his height, but because of the 1 for life he exuded. He was generous and listened no matter how small the issue was – he lifted others up to his level. “Kind even in the face of unkindness. He was a beacon for many, who looked to him as the light he shone was so bright. A caring, talented, determined, and funny young man. “I am reminded of his wild and extravagant stories he used to tell as a child. Sensational, exciting and full of creativity – that is Kaius. Even on the dancefloor, his passion for all things life-affirming could be felt. Never one to be moulded by others, Kaius was himself, yet deeply sensitive to the needs of others. His love for his 1 was evident every day. He valued family and friends above all else. “A talented guitar player, jamming with close friends or serenading his mum after a tough day at 1. A loyal friend chilling in the hot tub playing card games in the summer. A compassionate nephew stopping by just to say hello or for a chat. A kind cousin helping to fix anything car related. “A committed engineer student who was eager to learn. A dedicated employee who was often first to arrive and last to leave. A comforting presence in ‘The Club’ where he also worked. “The love that we have in our hearts for him fills us with gratitude for his life. It is a privilege to have shared the years with him as a; son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin but most of all…a friend. “Love and miss you always.”
