A father-of-three who died in a road crash "left a mark on everyone lucky enough" to know him, said his family.

Henry Smith, 27, from Devizes, died on 15 October when the Volkswagen Golf he was driving left the road on the A360 at Gore Cross, West Lavington, Wiltshire.

Mr Smith was a father to Maddison, Harrison and Mabel, and his fiancee Megan said: "We know you loved us more than anything and we loved you more than anything too. You were taken from us far too soon.

"You'll always be with us in every heartbeat, memory and every mile down the road."

A spokesperson for Mr Smith's family said he was a "much loved son, brother, uncle, father, work colleague and partner".

"Life was a beautiful ride, and though your journey ended too soon, we know we'll see you again at the next stop," they said.

"You gave your all to everything you did, and you left a mark on everyone lucky enough to know you. The memories you left behind will stay with us forever.

"Your laughter, your drive, and your kindness will echo in every story we tell and every road we travel. You'll be missed every single day."
