Taylor was the most selfless and caring person to everyone around him

A fundraising page has been set up in memory of an 18-year-old man who tragically lost his life in a road traffic collision.

Taylor Lupton, 18 from Pontefract, sadly died after a VW Golf left the carriageway and crashed into a water treatment facility in Castleford last Sunday morning.

A statement released by fundraiser Gemma Mason read:

A huge hole has been put in all of our hearts, as most people will be aware Taylor Lupton, a beloved son, and a lovely father was unfortunately in a serious car accident on 12.01.2025 and sadly at age 18 he lost his life because of a reckless driver.

Taylor was the most selfless and caring person to everyone around him, he was a friend to everyone, and above all the best daddy to his daughter who he loved with all of his heart. He didn’t even have the chance to live his life or see the most important parts of his baby girls life and has had to leave her just before she’s turns one.

His mother Gemma is suffering enough with it as it is, no parent should ever have to see their child go before them. We as a family are looking for help to try and cover funeral cost to give him the best send off possible and give him everything he deserves and anything extra that is gathered will go to his daughter and her mother Grace to help cover the cost of bringing her up and support her at such sad time.

Taylor wouldn’t have wanted to see the mother of his child struggle and wouldn’t want his daughter Cecilia to go without. If anyone could please donate whether it be big or small we as a family and his partner megan would be really grateful.

R.I.P Taylor Lupton it’s not goodbye forever, it’s just goodbye for now
