A young man has lost his life in a shocking single-vehicle crash on the B2100 Rotherfield Road in Crowborough. Harry Farley, 21, from Broad Oak, Heathfield, died instantly when his Ford Fiesta slammed into a tree on Saturday, 26 September.

Family Pays Heartbreaking Tribute

Harry’s family described him as “hardworking, beautiful and kind.” They said:

“He was passionately loyal and cared unconditionally for his friends and family. He would instinctively protect and come to the aid of anyone or anything in need of help, regardless.”

“Most of all he was modest, someone with so many talents that he shared with so few, always choosing to encourage and celebrate others in their own achievements.

The tributes and memories shared by so many of his wonderful friends are overwhelming and a testimony of the impact he had on those around him.

Harry was our son, a brother to Charlie and Alfie, and a friend to so many. We will always be so very proud of who he was and will miss him always. The space he leaves behind is immeasurable.”
