Cyhoeddwyd bod Mathew Hardy, 34 oed, o Bwllheli wedi marw yn y fan a’r lle.
Wrth dalu teyrnged fe ddywedodd ei deulu:
“Fel teulu mae ein bywydau ni wedi cael eu chwalu gan y drychineb o golli Mathew mor frawychus o sydyn. Does dim geiriau all ddisgrifio’r boen a’r galar ‘da ni’n ei deimlo. Roedd yn fab, cariad, brawd a ffrind mor boblogaidd i nifer, a bydd yn gadael bwlch ofnadwy o dywyll ar ei ôl.
“Roedd Mathew yn hynod o annwyl a hoffus, ac yng nghanol cyfnod mor gyffrous yn ei fywyd yn symud i dŷ newydd a merch fach ar y ffordd.
“Hoffem ddiolch i bawb am eu caredigrwydd a geiriau o gysur ar amser mor heriol a thrist. Gofynnwn yn garedig am amser a phreifatrwydd i ddygymod hefo’r galar.”
