Tributes have been paid to a man who died following a collision in South Cumbria while on holiday in the Lakes.
The family of David Hankinson, 40, of Burnley, said the outpouring of support following his death had been incredible – and showed how he touched the lives of so many.
Mr Hankinson died after a collision on the B5278, near Haverthwaite, on Saturday.
He was on a weekend break in the Lake District with his close family and friends at the time.
David was partner to Sionny Williams, devoted father to his two children, Kendal and Alfie, and close stepson to Jules.
Affectionately known as ‘Hanky’ by most of his friends, David was well-known and loved around the local community where he lived, helping others in need and being a support for so many.
He was also a keen local businessman.
In a statement, Sionny said: “The outpouring of support from across the community has been incredible and shows how David touched the lives of so many.
“There isn’t any way of describing the loss we all feel. You were our everything and brought so much love, joy and laughter to our lives. The children and I will miss you deeply every single day.”
