A MUM-OF-TWO has paid tribute to her 'amazing soulmate and a loving dad' after he died in a motorbike accident.

Adam Taylor, 27, leaves behind wife Chelsey and his 11-month-old twins Roman and Kendall following the incident in North Yorkshire.

The joiner, who was one of the foremen on the Premier Inn development in Blackburn's Cathedral Quarter, had been married to 24-year-old Chelsey for just over two years and they lived in Mellor.

Chelsey said: "He was amazing, selfless. He put everyone before himself. He was a perfectionist, a loving dad, he loved me unconditionally. I was his world and he was mine.

"He always made me laugh. I can’t explain but we made each other laugh. We just had our own little thing.

"He was my soulmate. We spent every single minute we could together."

Adam, who went to St Bede's in Blackburn and moved to Darwen at the age of 13, was out on a ride with seven other people when the accident happened between Horton-in-Ribblesdale and Selside on the evening of Wednesday, June 3.

He was riding a grey Triumph Daytona when he collided with a sign at the side of the road. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Having met six years ago, Adam and Chelsey got engaged on a Caribbean cruise and were married at the Last Drop Village, Bolton two years to the day after he proposed.

In July last year Chelsey gave birth to Roman and Kendall, who arrived 10 weeks early.

"They were in hospital for six weeks at the Neonatal Unit in Burnley, that’s who we’ve asked donations for at his funeral. They were brilliant," she said.

"That was traumatic, but now in a weird way he has spent three months longer with them than he should have done.

"I didn’t have the best of pregnancies but he was there all the time, he was at every scan and I had about 20.

"He took to being a dad like a duck to water. He got up every feed in the night and still went to work. He did everything with me and he couldn’t wait to get home and see them."

Adam qualified as a joiner at Accrington College but was close to becoming a Marine before he suffered an injury that ended that dream.

Chelsey said: "He was in the Marines for a couple of years but he didn’t quite pass out because he did something really bad to his ankle on a training exercise.

"He would have made a brilliant Marine, he was so dedicated. He was gutted at the time and he still spoke about it. Anything on the TV relating to the subject he was saying ‘I’ve done that, I’ve done that’. You could tell it was something he was passionate about."

Adam, a former St Peter's Primary School pupil, had always had a passion for bikes but had started riding again shortly after Roman and Kendall arrived.

"He did a few track days and stuff about four years ago, but we got really busy, we were planning the wedding, I was pregnant," said Chelsey.

"After the children came along it makes you focus on what you really want to do with some free time. I can understand it but I never wanted him to get one.

"He loved it, he got his bike licence as quickly as he got his driving licence.

"Nothing fazed him. I know for a fact that until that very last second he won’t have been frightened.

"He loved anything like that. He was also going on about bungee jumping and sky diving."

Adam's funeral takes place at St Peter's Church, in Mill Hill, tomorrow (Friday), and two of his friends have made the journey from Australia to be there.

Chelsey said: "We have a really close unit of friends from Darwen. The day after it happened a friend was on a flight back from Australia and another one is coming back from Australia today. They’re all like brothers really."
