The team at Beyond Radio would like to pay tribute to our much-loved colleague Adam Stutchbury, who has passed away aged 22.
Adam was with Beyond Radio from the very beginning, joining as one of our original in-take of volunteers in 2016.
He went on to host The Saturday Morning Show, Adam's Musical Jukebox on Tuesday evenings, as well as the Early Evening Show on a Sunday.
Adam was an inspiration to all of us, as he overcame quadriplegic cerebral palsy to follow his dreams of becoming a radio presenter.
He was very ambitious and hard-working, and never allowed his disability to stop him from doing what he wanted to do.
"Adam worked hard to overcome his challenges to do something he loved, presenting on Beyond Radio," said Duncan Moore, volunteer co-ordinator at Beyond Radio.
"He was a great advocate for the station and also fundraised for us in the early days of our development.
"Adam was always the first to step up when a call went out for volunteer support."
Adam, who went to The Loyne School in Lancaster and then on to Beaumont College, had a warm personality and was very kind and considerate.
He enjoyed organising charity events to raise money for the college, as well as Alex House and Cancer Research.
Adam also took part in events such as the St John's Hospice Colour Dash and Bubble Rush, and the Great Manchester Run, and proudly represented Beyond Radio at many local events and festivals.
Most people will also remember Adam as being fun-loving, enjoying a party and for his wicked sense of humour.
He will be very much missed by everyone at the station.
Our deepest condolences go out to Adam's family and friends.
*Adam's twin brother Luke, who also presents at Beyond Radio, will be hosting a special show in Adam's memory this Saturday at 10am on Beyond Radio.
