A family has paid tribute to a young disc jockey who “smiled with his whole body”.
Graeme Comlay, 24, died  on November 24 after a crash on the A360, between Devizes and Salisbury.

Mr Comlay’s family said: “Graeme was a friendly, loveable and honest young man who exuded happiness.

“He was extremely proud to have grown up in a military family and was particularly proud of his father Stephen’s achievements.”

Mr Comlay spent his entire childhood in Durrington. He went to Durrington Infant and Junior School, Avon Valley College and Cricklade College, before moving to Staffordshire to study for a degree in TV, radio and film production.

He worked for Radio Odstock for 10 years and was a regular voice on the station on Tuesday evenings. 

Mr Comlay had also just started presenting his own show on a Wednesday.
He worked as a senior salesman for Paperchase in Salisbury and was passionate about his job. 

He once said that his aim was to “make at least one person smile before they left the store”.

Mr Comlay’s other major love was singing. His family said: “He had a wonderful voice and would take great pride in being able to remember thousands of lyrics from hundreds of songs.

“He had a phenomenal gift and we’ll all miss his talent – even if he did correct us every time we got a song lyric wrong!”

Mr Comlay recently performed with his father in Voices From No Man’s Land – a male choir which sung at the Salisbury International Arts Festival in the summer to commemorate those who lost their lives during the First World War.

“When Graeme hugged someone, he meant it,” said his family.

“If he was smiling, he’d be smiling with his whole body.”
