A GRIEF-STRICKEN mother has paid tribute to her son who died in a crash.

Kyle Martin, 21, of Bradfield, was killed when his Volkswagen Polo collided head-on with BMW on Brickman’s Hill between Bradfield and Mistley on November 28.

His mother Deana Martin wished to thank all those who have paid their respects so far.

“The tributes have been fantastic and it is a lot of comfort to know that our son was not just loved by us but that a lot of people felt that way.

“Kyle was a hard worker and always made everyone smile and lived life to the full and we are taking comfort in that fact.

“We would like to say thank you for all the kind messages.”

Mrs Martin said that her son will be remembered for his fun-loving personality and was always laughing and joking with his friends and family.

“Kyle thought a lot of all his friends and would always be having a laugh and a joke but it was never at anybody’s expense. It was just him fooling around.

“He had lived in the area for a while and was well known in the village.

“His group of friends were always there for each other."
