His mother Desleigh opened up about how much of a “caring” and “attentive family man” her son was in an emotional tribute to Mr Mogg on the fundraising page.

“My son, a brother, an uncle and friend to many unexpectedly passed away today due to an accident whilst he was doing what he loved dearly which was motorbike riding,” she wrote.

“I am Desleigh, Raymond’s mum.

“Raymond was a loving and attentive family man, who would give anyone the shirt off his back and help all those in need, especially his family he cared for deeply.

“We are distraught by what has happened and are going to miss him dearly.

“It’s hard to put my grief into words, there are so many ways to describe Raymond but hard to put together.

“His beautiful, cheeky smile will live on within all us and his smart remarks.

“Raymond was a family man and went out doing what he loved best and that was riding bikes.

“Our Son/Brother/Uncle/cousin and nephew will be dearly missed and is now flying high with his dad.”

His sister Lin J Mogg shared her shock online last night.

“You had so much more of life to live,” she said.

“You were my brother and my best friend that I could always turn to knowing you were always there for me.

“It hurts so much that I’ll never get to see you ever again.

“Life for us will never be the same. We will miss your jokes and your cheeky laugh and most of all just you in general.”

Alana Mogg said her heart was “beyond broken” at the loss of a brother.

“Never thought I’d be grieving losing a brother. I’m glad we spent some time together today.

“I’m forever gonna (sic) be lost without you and missing you, the boys are gonna miss seeing their uncle Ray … you left this world doing what you loved.”

Kayla Randall said words could not describe “how shattered I am”.

“You were always one of my best friends,” she said.

“You helped me out when I needed it, best yard mower ever.

“I hope you know how much I loved you.”

Police are urging anyone with information or dashcam footage in the area at the time of the crash to come forward.

Forensic investigations into the circumstances of the crash are continuing.
