THE family of a 29-year-old Totton man who died when his car crashed into a tree have paid tribute to him as a “shining star” who will be “deeply missed”.

Harry Turner, who lived at Jacobs Gutter Lane, was involved in the single-vehicle incident just after midnight on 17th December while at the wheel of his Vauxhall Insignia.

It happened at Longwood Road in Owslebury, a small village just outside Winchester.

Mr Turner was pronounced dead at the scene.

In a touching statement his family said: “His death has left the whole family utterly heartbroken and we cannot find the words to express the pain we feel.

“Harry was a very outgoing, passionate young man and lived his life to the full, making many friends along the way.

“Anyone that knew Harry will remember his caring, compassionate personality and his unique sense of humour.”

They added: “Our shining star will be deeply missed by all of those who knew him. Harry will forever have a place in our hearts and his memory will live on through us all, as a beloved son, brother, proud uncle and friend.

“We’d like to say thank you for the love and support we have received from those close to us, but, at this early, we kindly request we are allowed to grieve in private during this difficult time.”

Hampshire police said its investigations into the exact circumstances of the collision are ongoing.
