In light of this, Chris’s wife, Stacey, has shared a poignant tribute to her husband, recalling the moment she received the distressing news of the accident.
She expressed: “Chris was a true family man who would do anything for his kids; they were always his top priority.
“We’ve been together for 20 years, and everyone who knew us understood the depth of our bond. We genuinely were the real deal.
“Relationships like ours are rare, and that has impacted many people who knew how deeply in love we were.
“He was loved by everyone. He truly was the life and soul of any gathering.”
She continued: “My brother worked alongside Chris and was the first to arrive at the scene, as he was driving just behind him.
“When I received the call from my brother, I immediately knew something was wrong with Chris, and my heart sank. I sensed it was serious.
“Chris was an exceptionally skilled rider—he had been riding bikes since around the age of seven. It’s inconceivable that something like this could happen to such an experienced individual.
“He started with sports bikes in his youth, but as he grew older, he transitioned to Harleys, which is when he joined the Hells Angels.”
An investigation into the crash is ongoing, and police are appealing for any witnesses to come forward.
