The family of a man who sadly lost his life in a motorcycle collision at the weekend have paid a loving tribute.

In a social media post, Greater Manchester Police said,

“Family pay tribute to a much-loved ‘son, brother and loving partner’ Josh Sharpe.

Josh Sharpe sadly passed away following a fatal collision at Astley Raceway on Saturday.

Paying tribute to him, Josh’s family said:

“Josh was very sporty and excelled naturally in football. He played for Rishton United Football Club Juniors and Hyndburn Youths. Josh’s love for motorbikes developed at a very young age and he often rode them with his dad on weekends. Although he has always loved motor bikes, it wasn’t until he was financially independent that he was able to enjoy this hobby more frequently with his friends.

“What stood out most about Josh was his kindness. He had an ability to sense when someone needed a friend, a kind word, or a gentle smile. He was always the first to offer help, never asking for anything in return.

“His empathy and generosity were beyond his years, qualities that made him beloved by everyone who knew him. In his short life, he touched more hearts than many do in a lifetime.”

Police continue to appeal for information. If you have any information, please call 0161 856 4741 quoting log 1673 of 22/06/24.
