A 35-year-old man has died in a motorcycle crash in west Wales, police have said. Police and paramedics were called to the scene of a single-vehicle crash involving a motorbike on Pembroke Road, Haverfordwest at around 8.20pm on Friday, August 28.

The rider of the motorbike, who has been named as Luke King, tragically died at the scene. His family have remembered him as a “deeply loved son, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend” who was “larger than life.”

In a heart-felt tribute, his family said: “Luke was 35 and a deeply loved son, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend.

“He leaves behind his mum Hayley, his girlfriend, his grandparents, aunties, uncles, many cousins and countless friends who loved him dearly. His dad had sadly passed away before him.

“Luke was a larger-than-life character who lit up every room with his infectious energy, his laugh and his beautiful smile. He was funny, loving, mischievous, hardworking and completely unforgettable.

“He loved his motorbikes, adored his dog, Digger, and took enormous pride in his work in construction and groundworks. He had recently set up his own company, something he was incredibly proud of and had worked hard to build.

“Although Luke was an only child, his friends were like family to him. He treasured them deeply and spent so much of his life surrounded by people who loved him, making memories, laughing and enjoying life together.

“Luke lived an immense amount of life in his 35 years. He lived it to the full and was so happy, with so much still ahead of him. He had achieved so much, but it felt like he was only just getting started.

“The outpouring of messages and memories since losing Luke has shown just how many lives he touched. There was only one Luke, and we will miss his laugh, his smile, his bear hugs and his huge personality every single day.

“We will carry him with us always and love him for the rest of our lives.”
