“He was definitely one that did not deserve to die, especially this young,” she said.

“No one deserves to die this young, but he was too good of a person to leave this Earth too early.”

Mr Foufas worked as a heavy diesal mechanic and was a keen driver.

Ms Jenkins said he died doing what he loved.

“I feel that he died doing something that he loved and that he is definitely looking down at us,” she said.
