Tributes after sudden death of Liam, 26
The Sentinel
|October 29, 2025
FAMILY and friends have said a final 'goodbye' to a much-loved 26-year-old who died unexpectedly at the Royal Stoke last month.
More than 100 mourners paid their respects to Liam Thomas Byatt at Carmountside Crematorium on Monday.
His sister and 'soulmate' Nicola gave a beautiful poetic tribute to her little brother during a moving speech.
Celebrant Steve Game-Blackmoor told the procession how Liam, from Longton, had been independent from an early age, and at two years old escaped home 'to buy a train from Woolworths'.
He spoke about his adoration for travelling throughout the UK - and beyond in later life - with family and friends who meant the world to him.
