Tributes have been paid to a "kind, generous, and loving" father-of-two from Redditch who tragically died aged 37.
Daniel Lipscombe, who was a window cleaner and well-loved in the local community, died suddenly earlier this month leaving his wife Amy, sons Harry and Matthew, brother Jason, sister Jennifer and dad Dave devastated.
The dedicated father worked for his family's business Redditch Window Cleaning and was passionate about motorcycles including taking part in memorial convoys over the years as well as riding from Land's End to John O'Groats to raise money for Birmingham Children's Hospital.
His family and friends have paid tribute to Daniel describing him as "super fun" and "generous".
They are now organising a convoy for Daniel's funeral and are calling on the biker community to come together to help give him the send-off he deserves.
Phil Rodgers, who has been friends with Daniel since childhood, said: "I've known Daniel since I was about 10. We were neighbours and best friends but over the years he became more like a brother to me. He was a lovely and friendly chap who everybody loved.
"Losing Daniel so suddenly has been absolutely devastating for his family, especially his boys who are 5 and 11. It is impossible to put into words what they are all going through.
"Daniel was really passionate about motorcycles and even wanted a convoy at his wedding. His wife and family are now hoping to make that dream a reality by organising a convoy for his funeral."
The funeral is set to take place on Tuesday, October 8 at 2.45pm at Redditch Crematorium.
The convoy will meet outside The Oast House pub on Paper Mill Lane at 2pm in time for the cars to go past at 2.30pm.
The family said everyone is welcome to come and celebrate Daniel's life with donations being accepted for Men's Minds Matter. It is family flowers only.
There will be a donation box at the crematorium and the wake.
Daniel's sister Jennifer Bridges has also set up a GoFundMe to help raise money for the funeral costs at this difficult time.
Any money left over is set to go towards work on the family home, which needs significant renovation.
Mr Rodgers added: "It would mean the world to us all for the community to come together and show their respect and appreciation for Daniel.
"We've already had a few responses from bikers but we would love anyone with a motorcycle to come and join the convoy. It would be amazing if we could get 100 bikes or more.
"It has been very tough for the whole family and we just want Daniel to have the send-off he deserves."
