Archie was a true ‘Ray’ of sunshine, he lit up every room with his smile and laughter. His energy was magnetic, his kindness endless, and his presence unforgettable. He was extremely hardworking, earning the respect and admiration of everyone he worked with.”
Ash’s family said: “It is with unimaginable sadness that we share the passing of our beloved son, Ash, who tragically lost his life in a car collision on the 28th of June 2025, aged just 18. Ash was full of life, laughter, and kindness. He brought light into every room with his warm smile and cheeky humour.
