THE family of a Chippenham man, who died in a car crash on the A429 on Christmas Eve, have paid tribute to the father-of-three who had an 'infectious smile.'

Nana Boateng, 40, died after his silver Ford Fiesta was involved in a collision with a heavy goods vehicle close to the Kingway Bridge near Hullavington in the early hours of Christmas Eve.

Paying tribute, his family said: "Nana, you went away so suddenly with no time to say goodbye, but you cannot be parted because precious memories like your infectious smile and laughter never dies.

"Nana, you were there when we needed you and stuck up for us when no one else did. Your kindness extended to everyone you met; a brother who truly lived to the fullest.

"This tribute is to honour you - our brother, friend, family. In love you conquer hate; an angel who lived on earth - you will be truly missed and never be forgotten.

"Love you always, your family."
