A dad who had travelled to Scotland for a family wedding was found dead by his partner at a B&B in Rosyth.
Greg Davies, 36, died in his sleep in the early hours of Saturday at the Queensferry Guest House in Fife. He had travelled to the town from Wales with partner Caitlin Turner, who is originally from the area, for her dad's wedding on Saturday afternoon.
Caitlin, 27, told the Record she fought to save Greg's life after she woke up to find he wasn't breathing. Mercy crews were called to the house in a bid to save the dad-of-one but tragically he was pronounced dead at the scene.
She said: "I was there trying to save him.
"He was such a wonderful character and the life and soul of everywhere he went. You only ever saw him with a smile on his face."
She added: "He will be missed dearly and I love him very much."
Greg had been a regular at the Queensferry Guest House, which he used while staying in the area working as a roofer.
Claire Kelly, who runs the B&B, said: "Greg was a great guy. The roofing company he worked used the B&B for the majority of my guest house experience. They were all lovely guys who couldn't do enough for anyone.
"His partner Caitlin met Greg while he was staying here working and they had moved to Wales.
"They'd come back to stay for a family wedding. And sadly Greg didn't wake up on Saturday morning.
"Everybody who knew him is gutted he was a one-of-a-kind guy. The sort of guy who was everyone's mate in the pub.
"Everyone at Queensferry Guest House did everything they could that day and will offer ongoing support to the family."
Tributes were paid to the 36-year-old, who had worked as a stonemason fitting granite kitchen worktops, by pals and colleagues.
