Tribute paid to 'generous' father killed in crash

Mr Cullen's wife Lucy described her husband as "endlessly thoughtful"

The wife of a motorcyclist who died after a crash in Cornwall has paid tribute to her "wonderful" husband.

Nigel Cullen, 57, from St Mawes, suffered fatal injuries in the crash between a car and a motorbike on the B3275 near Truro on Monday, Devon and Cornwall Police said.

Mr Cullen's wife Lucy described her husband as "endlessly thoughtful" and a "much-loved father" to their two small children.

“We will miss him for the rest of our lives," she said in a statement released by police.

“The most thoughtful, kind and generous man, Nigel adored his family and we adored him.

"It is unbearable to think about life without ‘daddy’."

'Utterly heartbreaking'

She added: "A loving husband, father, son and brother, he was endlessly thoughtful in all his actions, holding my hand through everything in life.

"Now when I need him the most, he is not here.

"It is utterly heartbreaking, but I am so thankful to feel that through our children he will always be with us."

Mr Cullen had been a project manager, flying officer, first officer with the air ambulance and most recently a small business owner.

'Big-hearted man'

He "followed his passion for coffee" and set up Bear Cornwall in 2019, his wife said.

“His loss will be felt throughout our whole community," she said.

"Everyone knew and loved him and his team; the big-hearted man and the best boss, who made the best coffee on the Roseland."

Police appealed for any witnesses to the crash or anyone with dash-cam footage to contact them.
