Family pays tribute after tragic death of young dad on Christmas Eve

Family have paid tribute to an Aberdeenshire dad who died in a car crash on Christmas Eve.

Fraser Gibbon of Cuminestown died on the B9170 road between Cuminestown and New Deer after a horrific accident on Wednesday.

In a statement the family said: “Fraser was ripped from our lives and has left a massive hole that can never be filled.

“Fraser was described by all who knew him as a gentle giant, very much a family person who would do anything for anyone.”

They added that the 20-year-old was a “proud father, a doting uncle to two nieces and brother to three sisters who all loved him dearly.

“He was the precious and deeply loved only son of Anne and Donald, and has been taken from us far too soon.

“We would also like to offer sincere thanks to all who assisted at the scene.”

Mr Gibbon is thought to have been working on a green mini-loader when it was struck by a car on the morning of Christmas Eve.
