RIP young man......
"Died whilst at work, doing what he loved, at just 29 years old."
Heartbreaking grief has hit the Cornwall community following the tragic death of 29-year-old Joel Ethan Di**le in a tractor crash near St Austell.
Joel, from High Street near St-Stephen-in-Brannel, lost his life late on Friday, September 11, in a single-vehicle collision involving a tractor and trailer near St Ewe.
His devastated family - including parents Audie and Lorraine, brother Nathan, grandparent Joan, and adored nieces Ella and Lamorna - have paid moving tribute to a hardworking young man taken far too soon.
A celebration of his life will take place at St Stephen Cemetery on Wednesday, September 30, at 3pm, with his family asking attendees to skip suits and ties in favour of workwear or casual clothes, just as Joel would have wanted.
Police continue to investigate the crash and are urging anyone with information or dashcam footage from the St Ewe area to step forward 👇
