Jon Whitehouse: Heartfelt tribute for rider killed in Boxing Day crash
A neighbour and close friend of a motorcyclist who was killed in a road smash on Boxing Day has spoken about told of his dismay at losing his pal who would 'do anything for anybody'.
Jon Whitehouse, 44, from Castlecroft, died after a four vehicle collision on Bridgnorth Road outside the Gardenlands Garden Centre, near Seisdon.
Mr Whitehouse, who as well as installing solar panels for a living, worked voluntarily as a first responder for West Midlands Ambulance Service, was popular in his local community.
His friend Dave Hill told the Express & Star: "Last year or two we've really hit it off. He came in here and fitted doors for me and CCTV. He was really handy.
"He was a perfectionist. He said that his dad taught him that if a job's worth doing, it has to be done well.
"He would do anything for you. He only had the bike quite recently I think. He was into sailing, he liked doing that. And he was a real handyman, he could take a car or a bike apart and put it back together again.
"I'm gutted. I'm really going to miss him."
