The family of a north-east teenager who died in a car crash has today spoken of their grief.
Jordan Gibbins, 17, died while travelling on the A90 Fraserburgh to Peterhead road in the early hours of Sunday, June 19.
He lost control of his grey Honda Civic and crashed just one mile south of Fraserburgh.
His parents, Carol and Kevin, and his brother Connor have now said he will be “sorely” missed by all who knew him.
In a statement, they added that Jordan, who lived in Lonmay and attended primary school in both Crimond and Stuartfield, was at his happiest when he was in a digger, or “up to his elbows in grease fixing lorries”.
“Jordan came from a large family and will be sorely missed by all,” they said.
“He along with his brother Connor were part of a huge close circle of friends and Jordan was the life and soul of many nights out. He liked nothing more than playing tricks on them.
“Jordan loved fishing at Pitfour Lake and Waulkmill Fishery. He was also a good shot at clay pigeon shooting, and was very competitive with his dad.”
His competitive streak led him into quad biking, where he progressed to ride at a 750CC level.
He was also a member of Strichen Young Farmers’ Club.
The family added: “Jordan will leave a huge hole in so many people’s lives, and will be missed by everyone who knew him. We would ask that we are left in private as we try to come to terms with our sad loss.”
