Harley, in his 20s, died instantly when the tractor he was driving suffered a tyre blowout near Witcombe on Birdlip Hill. The vehicle went out of control, and emergency services pronounced him dead at the scene.

Heartbreaking Tribute From Family

“Our family is truly shocked and utterly heartbroken at the loss of our cherished son and devoted brother, Harley. A soul who left an unforgettable imprint on all who knew him. He was a golden boy with an infectious smile. This shocking tragedy leaves a huge hole in the hearts of those fortunate enough to know him. With quiet strength and deep kindness, we are proud of the young man he became—hardworking and entrepreneurial in farming. He will always be our shining star. Rest in peace, our beautiful son and brother. You will never be forgotten.”
