Ethan Goddard's family have released a tribute to him.

“Ethan was known to all his family and friends as a kind, generous, caring, always thinking of others, young man, with a great sense of humour.

“He was a very loving son, protective brother, caring grandson, much-loved nephew, kindest boyfriend and loyal friend.

“Ethan was very passionate about the things he loved. He was hard-working, enjoyed his part-time job, while studying engineering at college.

“He loved his co-workers.

“As a child, Ethan had a passion for scooters and then mountain bikes, progressing on to dirt bikes and then cars.

“We couldn’t be more proud of the fine young man he was turning into.

“We will always love him and he will be missed by many, not just us.

“Our thoughts are with all the other families and friends at this extremely sad time and our hearts go out to you all.”
