A heartfelt tribute has been paid to a motorcyclist who died following a collision on the A4 near West Kennett.
Alex Daines, 35, died after the motorcycle he was riding was involved in a collision with a Fiat Tipo on 19 July.
Paying tribute, his wife Sammi said: “On the 19th of July, we received the most heartbreaking news.
“Unfortunately, my wonderful husband Alex Daines had passed away.
“So many of you knew how fantastic he was and how much love he had for so many of us, whether it was from his time in the army, from biker groups, watching him play rugby, or simply because you had the privilege of being his friend.
“He has three fantastic children, all of whom are heartbroken from this news. I ask you to bear in mind how young they are and how fresh this is for all of us.
“All of our lives have been completely turned upside down, and I simply do not know how to live without him by my side.”
She added: “I personally have had a very difficult time with my health over the last ten years that Alex and I were together, and he has held my hand along every step.
“The thought of him now not being there will never feel right, but I know we all carry a special piece of him in our hearts. He was always the man who wouldn’t hesitate to pick you back up if you fell.
“Although my life, and many others, will never be the same without Alex, I feel incredibly blessed to have called him my husband and experienced the never-ending amount of love and joy he created in his wake.
“He is now resting peacefully, and I ask for some time to be given to me and my family while we face the hardest times we have had to face yet.”
