“This has been a huge shock and a great loss to both his biological family and his chosen family - both in-law and friendships. He left behind a beautiful baby girl, his wife-to-be, his parents, siblings, grandparents, his best friends, and all of his extended family and friends.
“He was the best dad to his (then) 10-month-old daughter. His love for his little family outweighed his love for anything else, which says a lot when his life usually revolved around bikes. He was eager to grow his family, discussing adoption just a month before!
“He was impulsive and adventurous, and obsessed with bikes, having started riding at only three-years-old. Something he was excited to pass onto his baby girl.

“He was at the top of the world before this sudden and unexpected loss. Having had the family he always dreamt of, about to get married to his teen-hood sweetheart, starting his dream job as an aerospace engineer. He was finally living his dream life and loving every minute of it.
“We are all heartbroken. This loss has impacted so many people and we will all forever miss him and his huge personality.”
