Zack Mitchell died at the scene of the crash on 15 July
The family of a "devoted husband" and "extraordinary" father who died in a crash on the A15 near Sleaford have paid tribute to him.
Zack Mitchell, 42, died following a collision involving a black Mini and a grey Audi near Silk Willoughby at around 5.40am on Wednesday 15 July.
His family said he leaves behind his wife, Claire, and their four young children, who were "his greatest source of pride and joy".
In a tribute, they said: "He was, in every sense, a true partner to Claire. Together, they built a life centred on love, laughter, hard work and adventure."
They described Zack as someone who "never stood still", always helping others and taking on new projects.
The tribute added: "He had a wicked sense of humour and a gift for finding lightness in everyday life.
"Whether he was turning a household mishap into a joke, breaking the rules by serving cake for breakfast, or doing something silly to make his children or Claire laugh, he brought joy wherever he went."
Zack was also a football coach with Young Dons Football Club.
His family said despite being partially deaf "he never allowed adversity to define him or limit his ambitions."
They said: "Above all, Zack was a good man.
"He was humble, thoughtful, practical, and fiercely loyal. He was the friend who knew exactly what to say when life was difficult. The neighbour who would quietly help without being asked. The colleague who made everyone around him better. The husband who adored his wife. The father whose children were his greatest achievement."
Police are continuing to investigate the collision and are appealing for anyone with dashcam footage to email [email protected] quoting incident number 48 of 15/7/26.
