Tributes

His mother, Joanne Ballinger, 61, said: “This place is a family, everyone hugs each other.” It’s very comforting right now because this is not what we expected.

A post on the Watering Hole’s Facebook page said: “With iconic legendary places that are larger than life like the watering hole, these places are made by iconic legendary characters & unfortunately we lost our MVP on Saturday.

“We always thought the most feared day would be washing away for us, but how wrong were we. We lost the best dad, friend, brother and worker this place will ever see and it’s not easy saying this, but we will never find anyone like this again.”

It said Matt had worked at the Watering Hole all of his life, with his brothers Lee and Jason and three sons who have been there all of their life.

This was along with their dad Mick, aka Mad dog, who they described as “a character to say the least” who started the pub as a beach hut in 1978.

The post said Matt was not just a huge part of the Watering Hole, but he was the Watering Hole, the life and soul of everything that happened and would do anything for anyone.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with all of Matt’s family & friends as we know a lot of people are going to be hurting. The Watering Hole family will stick together as that’s what he would want,” it said.

“We love you mate & can’t quite believe what has happened. Perranporth has lost its best man & captain.”

A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police had previously said: “Emergency services were called at around 9:30 am to Perranporth Beach following reports of concern for a man’s well-being.” The man, in his 30s, was confirmed dead at the scene. His closest relatives have been informed. The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner. Joanne said: “I was working for a living, but unfortunately when you’re 38 you don’t think about death.” If he’d had an ongoing health problem, she very well might have, but the thought of securing his family’s future was probably the last thing on her mind.

A GoFundMe page set up by Matt’s eldest son, Jaden, to help finish a home renovation project started by his father, has already raised almost.
