Mick was a fantastic bloke and died doing what he loved the most, he was a big chap with a huge heart and had the loudest infectious laugh I have ever heard. He leaves behind a wife and 3 daughters so if anyone can help with info it would be greatly appreciated
Thanks Wills, Mick is from Todmorden and was on his way to work when it happened, hence the early time of day. Lottie is completely devastated as Mick was her life he will be sorely missed by anyone that new him as he was such a nice chap. He has two daughters to Lottie and another daughter from his first marriage
Thanks to everyone for their messages

Over £600 was made in donations to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance at the funeral, which Mick would of been well chuffed with
