"Ride off into the sunset": Emotional tributes paid to motorcyclist who died after collision near Selby
The family of a man who died following a collision near Selby have paid tribute to "a much loved son, brother, uncle, partner, stepdad, and proud new daddy".
Christopher Wilson, 34, was involved in a two-vehicle collision on the A19 through Chappel Haddesley shortly before 2pm on Friday June 19, which saw a red Vauxhall Corsa collide with Christopher's black Honda motorcycle.
Despite the best efforts of emergency services and doctors, Christopher, from Kellington, 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 continued, saying: "Known as 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."
North Yorkshire Police said thoughts remain with his loved ones at “this incredibly sad time”.
