Family Mourns ‘Passionate, Fearless’ Toby
“Toby was just 24 years old and had already packed more passion and personality into his life than many do in a lifetime. He absolutely loved motorcycles — riding them, fixing them, talking about them, living and breathing them. If it had an engine, Toby wanted to understand it. In true Toby style, he once even filmed himself blindfolded stripping down and rebuilding an engine — just to prove he could. That was him: fearless, talented, and always up for a challenge.”
“He was happiest working at South Downs Motorcycles, where he spoke so proudly about the team and the work he did. He truly loved being there, and it showed.”
