The tragic passing of a newlywed couple has left a community in Co Tipperary completely heartbroken.
Adam Hencek and Tomas Fueller sadly passed away within days of each other, just a month after having their wedding day. A joint cremation service was held for the pair, originally from Slovakia but living in Carrick-on-Suir, at the Island Crematorium in Ringaskiddy, Cork, last week.
Adam, 23, tragically died unexpectedly at their home on Tuesday, June 2. Heartbreakingly, his husband Tomas, 25, also passed away at home on Friday. Their untimely deaths occurred just weeks after they joyously celebrated their wedding day together.
The couple, who hailed from Partizanske and Malacky in Slovakia, were known for their “energy and love of life” that was simply “infectious.”, reports Cork Beo.
Their obituary states they will be deeply missed by their loving families, including Adam’s parents, Peter and Lubica, and Tomas’ grandparents, Jozefa and Milan. A GoFundMe page has been set up by Adam’s aunt, Mirka Kohutovičová, to assist with funeral expenses following this sudden tragedy.
Over €12,000 has already been generously donated from individuals across Ireland and Slovakia to support their grieving families. Mirka wrote: “I am fundraising for the joint funeral of my nephew Adam Hencek and his husband Tomas Feuller, who tragically passed away on 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,” she said, expressing gratitude to all those who have shown their support during such a devastating time.
She gave an update: “We really appreciate all of the donations. We reached our goal thanks to all of your help which we are so grateful for. Thank you all for supporting our family at this time.”
Tributes have poured in for the couple, with many of their friends in Tipperary expressing their sorrow.
One friend of Tomas said: “To my darling friend, my condolences on your passing to your family at this sad time. Especially to your beloved Tomas. You were the brightest light on this earth and I know you’ll be the brightest star. You will be beyond missed”.
Another commented: “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”.
