Amy was three-and-a-half months pregnant when she died of natural causes, reports Wales Online.
Mr Llewellyn, from Caerau, told Wales Online his son was ‘troubled’ and added: ‘When I found out the news with Dai I could not believe it.
‘He loved life so much and any excuse to be happy and have a party he would take.
‘Because he was such a loner and if he could make fun then he would go for it. He loved life too much.’
He added: ‘I looked on Facebook and I saw all these broken hearts. I didn’t want to hear the words.
‘I drove straight to Bridgend as quick as I could, and it felt like two hours, and I saw the police tape sealed across the doors.
‘It was not the best way to find out about it, of course. Luckily there was no more about it on Facebook.’
The married couple have 13 grandchildren and Mr Llewellyn said it has ‘torn his wife apart’.
