'Happy go lucky' carer killed in motorbike crash

A moving tribute has been paid to a "kind, loving and caring" 23-year-old man who died in a Newport crash. Joshua Stock was riding a motorbike at around 3.40pm last Wednesday on Monnow Way, Bettws, when he was fatally injured in a collision with a silver Vauxhall Vectra.

Paramedics confirmed that the motorcyclist had died at the scene and Gwent Police has now named him as Joshua Stock from Newport. In a statement his family said: "Josh was a kind, loving and caring person. He was devoted to his family and was a full-time carer to his much-loved grandmother, Judith, visiting and caring for her every day.

“Josh was a real joker and prankster with a wicked and very dry sense of humour. He would go out of his way to make people smile and laugh even during the worst of times. He was happy go lucky and always found time to help his friends. We are grateful for all the kind messages of love and support but ask for time to grieve as a family together in peace.”
