A young couple in their 20s who died suddenly just days apart will be buried together, a month after their wedding in Ireland. The community in Tipperary is in mourning following the unexpected deaths of Adam Hencek and Tomas Feuller.
Adam, aged 23, died unexpectedly at their home on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, according to a funeral director in Clonmel. His partner, Tomas, 25, then died on Friday, June 5, also at home. The couple, originally from Slovakia and living in Carrick-on-Suir, had been married for only a month.
Adam's aunt, Mirka Kohutovicova, launched a fundraiser to help with funeral costs. She wrote: 'I am fundraising for the joint funeral of my nephew Adam Hencek and his husband Tomas Feuller, who tragically passed away on the 02.06.2026 and 05.06.2026 respectively. We would greatly appreciate any donations to help fund the wake and the cremation of the newlyweds.'
The GoFundMe campaign quickly reached its target of €12,000 (£10,352). Tributes have poured in from the community. Adam's former piano student said: 'So sad. Adam taught me piano briefly, he was a brilliant teacher and a gentleman. My thoughts are with Adam's family and friends at this awfully sad time, may he rest in peace.'
Another person wrote: 'Very sad to hear this. We met Adam and Tomas last year through work and their energy and love of life was infectious.' A third tribute said: 'This is devastating. Two young men, in the prime of their lives, passing so unexpectedly. My sympathy to their family and friends.'
Another added: 'RIP to this handsome couple Adam & Tomas, so very sad, condolences to both of their grieving families. May they find comfort in the memories of happy times shared together.'
