In a final act that reflected his generous nature, Harry donated his organs, saving seven lives and helping others he had never met, as reported by Need To Know.
His devastated family described him as a “beautiful young soul” who was devoted to his family.
They said: “Harry was such a kind-hearted lad, devoted to his mum, sister and partner.
“Everything he did in life was for their benefit.
“He was truly the best, most generous big brother, son and partner.
“He showed compassion and care to everyone that he met.”
Police received a report of a collision involving a Lexmoto motorcycle shortly before 9 pm on Sunday, 6 September.
Harry was taken to hospital with multiple injuries but sadly died on Thursday, 10 September.
His family said he “loved hard” and blessed those around him with his “one-of-a-kind personality” during his short life.
They added: “Harry understood the importance of organ donation, something he had spoken about with his family previously.
“His wish to help others will save and improve the lives of people he never met, a perfect example of Harry’s personality.”
A fundraiser established in Harry’s memory has raised more than £5,800 towards funeral costs and the continuing care of his horses.
The fundraiser said Harry shared a passion for horse riding with his mum, Lauren, and sister, Belle.
The trio reportedly dreamed of one day opening their own yard.
The fundraiser described Harry’s partner, Josh, as “the calm to his wild” and said the couple spent their free time walking their dog, Hallie, and planning their future.
Tributes have also poured in from members of the local equestrian community.
New Hill House Equestrian and Livery Yard said it had lost “one of its brightest lights”.
Harry had been part of the yard for years as a rider, owner and helper before joining full-time around two years ago.
The yard remembered him as “always quick, always competent” and someone who was “never fazed by anything”.
It also recalled how he once rescued a sheep from a ditch because he could not bear to see an animal frightened or injured.
The tribute said: “Harry was completely devoted to his family, his horses, and his partner Josh.”
“You’ll be with us at every show, every canter down the beach, every early morning and every late night.
“In our hearts forever.”
Merseyside Police said its condolences and thoughts were with Harry’s family and friends.
