THE family of a 20-year-old crash victim say their abiding memory will be his determination to live life to the full.

Jack Savage from Wanborough died in a collision at 3.57am on Saturday involving a Ford Fiesta and an articulated lorry.

It happened on the sliproad from the A419 northbound, leading on to the Commonhead roundabout.

His mother and father, Tanya and Steve, and three sisters, Megan, 23, Daisy, 16, and 12-year-old Olivia, said he was loved by everyone who met him.

Steve said: “There were never enough hours in the day for Jack. Sleeping was a waste of time to him and eating was always while he was on the move.

“If you talk to the boys they love him, talk to the girls they love him and the older people love him too. He made friends wherever he went.

“We saw him all the time but he was always going out with his friends. He loved his family and he loved his home.

“He will be sadly missed by a huge number of people, no more so than his mum, dad, three sisters and his wider family.”

Jack, who lived with his family at The Marsh, was being driven by one of his best friends in a Ford Fiesta when they collided with the rear of a Scania articulated lorry.

The 23-year-old driver, who was taken to Great Western Hospital with non life-threatening injuries, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

Steve said: “All our love and support goes to the driver who has got to carry this with him for the rest of his days. We as a family do not blame him at all. He has been to the house since and we support him 100 per cent.”

Jack was known as Sav or Bern to his friends because of his surname, Savage, and middle name, Bernard.

Mum Tanya said: “He was very passionate about life and his family. If he saw anyone in any kind of difficulty he would be there helping them. Almost every tribute on Facebook mentions his smile. You always knew if he was up to mischief because he had a cheeky smile.”

Jack was a former pupil of Wanborough Primary School and The Ridgeway School in Wroughton.

Steve said: “He should have gone on to further education but he wanted the opportunity to go on and earn some money and get out into the big wide world.

“He wanted to do it his way and not conform. He gave everything a go and just went with it.”

Jack’s sister, Megan, said: “He was scared of missing out. He just wanted to fit as much as possible in.”

Jack, who was a keen footballer, golfer and skier, started trading in cars before he left the first year of The Ridgeway’s sixth form.

He later set up his own part-worn tyre business before he started working at 2let2U.

He then went into partnership with his dad running a lettings agency.

More recently he worked in property maintenance and then as a recruitment coordinator for a pre-school nursery business, Asquith. Jack won £660 in a casino in Bristol on Friday and spent £360 of it on his friends during a night out in Old Town.

On Saturday the sliproad was closed for 10 hours while the Wiltshire Police serious collision investigation team were at the scene.

The 42-year-old lorry driver, from Hampshire, was uninjured. Anyone with information should contact PC Alan Hunt on 101.
