THE 76 year-old man who died following a collision with a bus on Crwys Road on Friday 6th March has been named as Abdul Koyum from Penylan in Cardiff.
Mr Koyum’s family has paid tribute to him saying: “Abdul was an extremely loving husband, father, father-in-law, brother and uncle. He was a selfless person who would do anything to help others. He was very well known in the Bangladeshi community. He was the mosque chairperson and was always involved with all activities and events.
“Abdul had his own business which he ran for more than 40 years in Cardiff. Both his current and previous employees, customers have expressed their shock and said what an easy going person he was.”
Abdul’s only child Luma, who works as a teacher, said: “Dad was an extremely kind, generous and helpful person who always had a smile on his face. To lose him in such tragic circumstances has come as a massive shock to the family.
He will be immensely missed. The emptiness will never be filled. Thank you dad for everything. Miss you so much.”
Luma would like to thank all the extended family, friends and neighbours for all their thoughts, warm wishes and condolences.
Officers are keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the collision, which occurred at approximately 12.30pm near the Shah Jalal Mosque. Any witnesses who have yet to give an account, or anyone with any dash-cam or mobile phone footage of the incident or the moments prior to it, is asked to contact 101, quoting 2000081850.
