Ryan Brown was a father of six

The family of a man killed in a crash involving a motorcycle and a pick-up truck have paid tribute to the "amazing" father of six.

Ryan Brown, from Winchester, was pronounced dead following the collision at the junction of London Road and Church Lane in Kings Worthy on 19 July.

Police said the crash involved a black Keeway motorcycle and a white Ford Ranger.

The 27-year-old's family said he was an "an amazing daddy" to his six children and was "always full of jokes and laughter".

In their statement, the family said Mr Brown had been a "loving and supportive partner" and a "real credit to society".

"He will be missed by everyone who had the joy of meeting him. He will forever live on in our hearts."

The family, which is being supported by specialist officers from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, said he had been a "loving son and an amazing brother", adding he was the "best anyone could hope for".

"He always thought of others before himself."

"Words cannot explain how much we all love him, he will truly be missed by all the people that had great pleasure to have spent time with him,” the family added.

The force has urged witnesses and anyone who has dashcam footage to come forward.
