The family of a 20-year-old man from Exmouth has paid tribute to him following his death in a road traffic collision last week.
Jake Knight died in a collision involving a deer and subsequently a Volkswagen Polo that occurred at around 8.35pm on Tuesday 17 August on Trow Hill, Sidford while he was riding his black Aprilia motorbike.
His family described him as 'the most wonderful, kind-hearted, gentle person'.
Their tribute, issued in a statement from Devon & Cornwall Police, is as follows: "Tragically taken from us far too soon, our beloved angel Jake. The most wonderful, kind-hearted, gentle person we had the honour of knowing and loving for 20 years.
"He touched the hearts and lives of so many on his short journey; a very special human being who we loved and will always love. Jake, you have left a massive void not only in our lives, but also in the lives of those lucky enough to have known you.
"You will still be part of us always and forever. Hope you have lots of bikes to ride in biker heaven.
"No words can ever express the pain we now bear, thank you for 20 years of love and laughter and for being part of our lives.
"We will be together again one day Mum, Dad, Neve and all of the family xxxx."
