A YOUNG man killed in a motorcycle crash has been described as “loving, caring and happy”.

Tributes have poured in for Dawid Kluz who died on the N77 at the junction of the Portlaoise Road and Ballyroan Road on Tuesday evening.

The 26-year-old, originally from Poland, was pronounced dead at the scene before his body was removed to the mortuary at the Midlands Regional Hospital in Portlaoise.

In a heartbreaking tribute, his girlfriend Agnieszka Grezlikowska wrote: “Dawid, I love you forever and always.

“You were taken too soon from us. Always such a loving, caring and happy man. An amazing son, good friend and the love of my life. You are the best person to ever enter my life.

“I love you, I hope you rest easy Misiu. Rest in peace.”

Mr Kluz worked for Shanette Superior Space who produce outdoor steel storage rooms.
