But tragically, Sean died more than a week later on May 8.

Sean was named by police earlier today (May 21), and already countless tributes have been made to a man who could make anyone laugh.

Danni Parker posted on Facebook: “I’ve known Sean Hawksworth from being four/five years old - grew up in the same area [and] went all way through school.

“Always the joker trying to make everyone laugh.

“Tragic loss, so sorry to all his family.”

“Sean and I went from nursery all the way through to seniors,” Linda Hoyle added.

“To lose a guy like Sean Hawksworth is a huge huge loss as he definitely was a good guy.

“But I know how much he loved his motor bikes and as his sister Jenny said, he passed doing what he loved, riding his bike.

“God bless Sean, his wife, daughter and family.”
