Quinn Barr was riding an orange KTM 125 Duke motorcycle when it was involved in a collision with a red Toyota Avensis, near Thornton Road's junction with Leaventhorpe Lane, at around 9.30pm on Friday, September 20.

The 26-year-old was rushed to hospital but has since sadly passed away.

His partner Laura told the Telegraph & Argus: "My beautiful Quinn, our hearts have been broken forever.

"Nothing will ever be the same again.

"You brought so much happiness into mine and our children's life.

"I will make sure they know everyday you went above and beyond for them.

"Life is just cruel. It shouldn't be you. Love you.

"Our boys will love you forever daddy."

Fundraiser to support family

A gofundme page, set up by family friend Kayleigh Wearne, has already raised over £2,000 to support Laura and the three boys.

It reads: "I want to take this opportunity to try raise some funds to support my friend Laura - Quinn’s beloved partner and mother of their three beautiful sons - through one of the worst experiences in life anyone could ever face.

"I know Laura has a lot coming up in these next few weeks - one of their son's birthday this coming weekend and another one of their son's operation next week.

"Laura has not asked for support or help once since all of this. She has just continued to carry on strong and fighting everyday."

It added: "Anyone that knows Quinn knows he worked hard every minute of everyday, even after work he would come home and be fixing a car or bike, whilst being a brilliant dad that he is.

"The impact of Quinn’s accident is and will have massive long term effects on his family.

"I think it’s only right that people should come together and support a women and kids facing such heart-breaking and life changing circumstances."
