He had a haircut three times a week. He was full of life. Bubbly.
Happy. He loved motorbikes and he was a speed demon. He wasn't an angel but in the past few years since he'd had his daughter he'd turned his life around.
"We were childhood sweethearts and met again two years ago. We literally got engaged straight away. I'm never going to get chance to marry him.
We should've been planning a wedding, not a funeral." Floral tributes were left at the scene of the crash , at the junction of Calverton Road and Church Lane . Friends, loved ones and members of the public have posted messages of condolence online.
One person wrote: "Been to say goodbye this morning.. devastating.
Many memories as a lad growing up .
