RTC kills Southport dad

THE family of Lee Edmond, who died following an RTC on Sunday, 3 October 2010 in Southport, have paid tribute to the 35 year old dad of three.

Lee leaves behind his fiancee Heather, 11 year old son Alex, 4 and a half year old son Brad, 9 week old daughter Jessica, mum Julie, dad Vin, his dad's wife Chris, sister Sue and brother in law Michael.

Lee, a motorway contractor for Premier Traffic Management, had been travelling home from a night shift at work when he was involved in a collision with a HGV at around 7.40am on Meols Cop Road.

A family spokesman said:- "Lee was a lovely man and would go out of his way to help anybody. He was a gentle giant who would always cheer you up just by being near him. He had a great sense of humour, a cheeky grin and was renowned for giving bear hugs. He grew up in Maghull but had lived in Southport for more than 10 years. He has had several careers including working as a plumber, builder, labourer, doorman and mechanic before most recently working for Premier Traffic Management. He loved cars and adored going to the gym. Everybody loved Lee and he couldn't walk down the street without knowing someone. He was devoted to his family and leaves a massive empty hole that will never be filled."

Freinds have also added that they are devasted with one telling us that:- "Lee was an amazing gental giant and he will be missed so much, by so many people."

Merseyside Police said that they are still looking for witnesses to the crash that happened on Meols Cop Road, Southport, at around 7.40am on 3 October 2010, by the Home Base Store. It is also reported that the driver of a delivery truck, that was involved in the collision with Lee's green BMW was taken to Southport Hospital by ambulance for treatment after suffering from a serious hand injury. As of yet we have no more information about the crash.

Lee's funeral will take place on Wednesday, 13 October 2010 at 3pm at Southport Crematorium. All queries for the funeral should be directed to Gibb Funeral Directors on Clarence Road, Ainsdale, Merseyside.

Anyone with any information is asked to call Merseyside Police on:- 0151 777 5771, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on:- 0800 555 111.
