A dad-of-one set to become a father again within weeks has died in a motorbike accident.
Latham Howarth was killed in the tragedy on Sunday (21 Jan).
The 27-year-old had a young daughter already with his pregnant girlfriend, Amber Robinson.
But the 22-year-old is due to give birth to their second child next month.
Tragic Latham, who had 10 siblings, of Worley, Gtr Mancs, was on a motorbike ride with his friends and brother.
He was wearing protective clothing, but suffered a brute force injury when he came off.
He had severe internal bleeding in his organs and sadly passed away.
In a heartbreaking social media post, Amber said: “How can I possibly go to sleep knowing I won’t be waking up to you beside me.
“I just need you home to me and your babies.”
In another, she added: “One more kiss just one last time.
“I love you Latham Howarth.”
A fundraiser has been launched to support Latham’s family during this difficult time.
The money will go towards supporting his children and their future.
The GoFundMe was only set up two days ago but has already raised £9,275.
It aims to raise £15,000.
The fundraiser, set up by a friend, reads: “Where do we begin this short story, this beautiful soul, second eldest, one of 11 children.
”Life hasn’t been easy at all for any of his family but just as things was looking up the worst has happened.
“A happy day out with his friends and brother on his motorbike turned into a freak accident.
”Brute force through his body armour caused severe internal bleeding in his organs claiming his precious 27-year-old life.
“Leaving behind his devastated family, girlfriend, child and unborn baby.
“We would be very grateful if you could donate any amount for the future of his children.
”A small amount goes a long way and I promise he will look down smiling thanking you for it.
“Life is precious, never forget to say I love you.
”Goodbye Latham Darren Howarth, until we meet again.”
