Friends and fellow motorcyclists have paid tribute to a young Nantwich dad who died in a road accident on the A530 near Wistaston.
Kerie O’Donnell, 34, (pictured) was killed when his motorbike was in collision with a Range Rover on Middlewich Road on Easter Monday.
The father-of-four was a member of the popular biker’s group Rebel Ryderz, and ran his own business as a vehicle sprayer.
Later today, family and friends will join the Rebel Ryderz at a special “ride out” in his memory starting from the Radway Green Sports and Social Club in Alsager from 6pm.
Kerie was a single dad who leaves behind four children, one aged 11, twins aged seven, and a four-year-old.
His younger sister Kayleigh, from Nantwich, led the tributes today.
Speaking to Nantwich News, she said: “He was the world’s best dad. He was such a hard worker and would do anything for his children.
“He was a great brother and friend, an uncle and a son. He was fantastic and loved by so so many people.
“He had four children but really had about 100 as everyone’s kids loved him.”
Kerie was a former Brine Leas School student who also went to King’s Grove High School in Crewe.
Kayleigh added: “He knew so many people in Crewe and Nantwich through his schooldays. He was very well known.
“He joined the Rebel Ryderz about a year ago and they have been absolutely phenomenal. I’ve never met so many wonderful people like this who have sent incredible messages of support.”
Fellow Rebel Ryder Laura Humphries said: “Kerie brought colour into all our lives and not just with his talented spraying skills, with his kindness and warm personality.
“A true Rebel Rider he loved life on two wheels often accompanied by his eldest daughter.
“He was a genuine man and devoted father. Our thoughts are with his family and children at this time and as his friends we are truly devastated.”
Family have set up a Gofundme page to help raise funds for Kerie’s family. Donations can be made here.
Kerie’s death comes just seven months after fellow Rebel Ryder member Josh Stockton died in a motorcycle accident on the A534 in Willaston.
A shrine to Josh was set up on the roadside by family and friends after the accident in September, and the Tree of Light in Nantwich was lit up in December in his memory.
Cheshire Police have appealed for witnesses to the accident involving Kerie which happened at around 7.50pm on Easter Monday (April 6th).
Sgt Iain Condliffe said: “As we work to establish the exact circumstances of what happened, we are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident to get in touch with us.
“The same goes for anyone who may happen to have any dashcam footage or any further information which could aid our enquiries.
“You can contact Cheshire Police by calling 101 or reporting information via our website, quoting IML-2303757.”
Is there anyone to set up a go fund me page for the children?
Just so verry sad.
