'Our lives will never be the same': Family's tribute to Kidderminster death crash victim

Stuart Frost, aged 42, died in a two-car smash on the A450 at Shenstone near Kidderminster, which was within a short distance of his parents house. His partner Emma was injured in the crash which happened on March 21.

Mr Frost, who was born in Stoke-on-Trent, had lived in Stourbridge before studying at Nottingham Trent University.

He later joined the Royal Air Force, studying and eventually becoming a member of the Military Police.

Mr Frost decided on a change of career and returned home to his family in Kidderminster to attend Worcester University.

He achieved a first class honours degree in nursing. During this time he met his partner Emma.

Mr Frost had recently started a new job, working with the Home Treatment Team from Kidderminster Hospital, supporting patients with mental health issues.

Paying tribute to him, his parents said: "Stuart was so excited about his new role and working again within the local area, a side benefit was that this would allow more time for him to volunteer for SARA (Severn Area Rescue Association ).

"Stuart was a highly intelligent man, had an extremely dry sense of humour, he made friends wherever he was. He became devoted to helping other people and had the whole of his new career before him. He died in the car that he loved, having bought the MG3 90th Anniversary edition twelve months ago and cherished it ever since.

"He died with Emma by his side, en route to a relaxing Lunch on one of their rare days off together. He was our only son and we are devastated that he has been taken from us in such tragic circumstances.

"We are trying to be strong and support Emma, but life will never be the same."

Mr Frost's partner Emma said "Stuart overcame lots of obstacles in his life and in doing so became the person he was today; a kind, loving, articulate person with a big heart. "This gained him many close and lifelong friends. I am totally devastated at my own and his parents' loss, but I will always cherish the time we had together."

Witnesses to the crash are asked to call police on 101 quoting incident reference number 297s of Monday 21 March.
