In loving memory of Ryan Daniel Birtles.

We as a family have had some devastating news, that our beloved Ryan was killed in a motorbike accident yesterday. My 24 year old little brother.

He was on his way to work like any other day on his motorbike, when hit by a dangerous driver and was killed instantly.

This news hasn't quite sunk in yet and our family are in all words of the sense, broken.

But he wasn't taken from just us, he was taken from his loving pregnant girlfriend, who is expecting their first child this September (3 months).

He was an up and coming, talented tattooist, amongst so much more, but the hard times of living atm- business wasn't booming.

Ryan, or Pie Man, we used to call him, was such a construction beem to our family. He was the middle child, but definitely the most loud and hard loving. He was incredibly intelligent, artistic and had a love of vintage cars and motorbikes.

He studied and qualified in plumbing from school, but left to follow his dream in tattooing. And in just a few years, was absolutely smashing it. He died on the way to work to a job that he loved, on his bike that he loved.. With a loving girlfriend and their first baby on the way, he was buzzing and excited for the next chapter in his life.

I'm wanting to do this to give his girlfriend and unborn child some financial security in this heart shattering time.

If anyone would care to donate, this will be ALL going to the mother of Ryan's child and will go towards the start to his daughters life. Tbh I have no desired target, I entered £1000 just to put a number, but anything we can do would be a help

Thank you in advance to anyone that donates, shares or sends love.

We're overwhelmed by the support already, this hasn't been posted for even 24hours, THANK YOU, WORDS CANT EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE.

With it being such a success, not wanting to ask for too much, but if we can do well enough to help my parents out with towards the funeral, that'd also be a massive help and piece of security for my family. Thank you so much again. This isn't helping us, it's to help a poor child that's been robbed of her father. And parents that are grieving for their son ❤️
