Tributes to ‘fiercely loyal’ motorcyclist who died in crash
The family of a “fiercely loyal” motorcyclist from Somerset who died in a crash have paid tribute to him. Jamie Howarth, 34, died in a crash near Frome, on Tuesday August 22.
Officers from Avon and Somerset Police were called to the scene on Marsh Road, in Standerwick, at around 5pm following the smash, which involved a car, motorcycle and a combine harvester. Jamie was pronounced dead at the scene.
Jamie’s family has paid tribute to him as a “much-loved” son, brother, uncle and friend who enjoyed the freedom of being on his bike.
His parents said: “Jamie was fiercely loyal to those he loved, and it was unconditional. Jay loved riding his motorbike and the independence he got from it.
“We are going to miss him more than life itself. Our hearts are broken.”
His sister, Lucy, added: “He was a great brother and an amazing uncle to all his 12 nieces and nephews, who he adored and cherished. He enjoyed life as a free spirit on his beloved bike, but he was tragically taken from us too soon.
“My heart is broken and no words will even begin to imagine our heartache. He will be greatly missed by us all.”
A spokesperson from Avon and Somerset Police said their thoughts are “with Jamie’s family during this extremely difficult time”. They added that the family continued to be offered support by a specially-trained family liaison officer.
Officers are keen to speak with anyone who witnessed the collision, or have any relevant footage which can aid enquiries. If you can help, please call 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5223203532, or complete our online appeals form[2] .
