The family of a much-loved man and new father who died in a crash have paid tribute to him today.
Christopher Wilson, 34, from Kellington, was involved in a two-vehicle collision on the A19 through Chappel Haddlesey shortly before 2pm on Friday 19 June.
A red Vauxhall Corsa collided with Christopher’s black Honda motorbike.
Despite the best efforts of emergency services and doctors, he passed away in hospital later that evening.
In a heartfelt tribute, his family said: “We remember Christopher as a much loved son, brother, uncle, partner, stepdad, and proud new daddy.
“Christopher was his mum’s blue-eyed boy, remembered for his cheeky smile, his dimples, and the warmth that lit up every room he entered. He was treasured by all who knew him and deeply loved by his family and friends.
“Family meant everything to Christopher. He was a devoted partner, an amazing stepdad, and had recently welcomed his beautiful baby girl into the world. His family was complete, and she was everything he had ever wanted”
They said he was the life and soul of the party. “Christopher had a way of bringing people together. He was always the one entertaining everyone, especially the children, who adored him for being a big kid at heart.
“He embraced life with enthusiasm and adventure, whether he was out on his motorbike, travelling, fishing, or enjoying a day at the go-karts.
“A proud Leeds United supporter, he lived life with passion and made lasting memories wherever he went.
“Christopher’s kindness, laughter, and love will never be forgotten. He leaves behind a family and many friends who will carry his memory with them always.
“Ride off into the sunset, Christopher, until we meet again. Forever loved, forever missed.”
