Newlyweds Adam Hencek and Tomas Feuller were laid to rest together after their tragic deaths came just one month after their wedding day. The pair tragically died just days apart after only recently being married to one another.
Details of the Tragedy
Adam Hencek, 23, died unexpectedly at the couple's home in Ireland on a Tuesday evening. Just days later, his husband Tomas Feuller, 25, also passed away at home, reports the Mirror. Their deaths occurred merely one month after one of the most joyous occasions of their lives — their wedding day.
Family and Community Response
A death notice published for the couple stated that the pair would be deeply missed by their devoted families, including Adam's parents Peter and Lubica, and Tomas' grandparents Jozefa and Milan. A GoFundMe page was established on June 9 by Adam's aunt, Mirka Kohutovičová, in the wake of the tragedy to assist with funeral expenses.
She said: "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."
Mirka expressed her gratitude to supporters, as donations flooded in for the newlyweds, raising €12,070 (£10,352) on the very day the campaign launched. She said: "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."
Funeral and Tributes
The couple were laid out for public viewing on Tuesday evening at Condons Funeral Parlour, Clonmel, before being taken on Wednesday to the Island Crematorium, Cork, for a private cremation. The pair were both originally from Slovakia but had been residing in Carrick-on-Suir, Tipperary. The local community has been left in mourning, with tributes flooding in for the couple.
Josephine, a friend of Tomas, expressed: "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."
Daisy Wn, a former piano pupil of Adam's, 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."
Karen Douglas remarked: "Very sad to hear this. We met Adam and Tomas last year through work and their energy and love of life was infectious."
