Engineer Paul Iredale, aged 39, a former pupil at North Leamington School, died when his car ran off the road and struck a tree on the Hereford to Worcester road at Fromes Hill on Tuesday evening.
Mr Iredale was maintenance manager at the Triplex
plant in Hereford and was on his way home to Warndon villages in Worcester. He went to work in Hereford about three years ago after the closure of the Cosworth Technology plant in Worcester.
A former cadet with TS Bacchante, the Leamington sea cadet unit, Mr Iredale was an engineer articifer in the Merchant Navy prior to joining Cosworth.
Mr Iredale, who is survived by his partner, Beccy, and Thomas, his 12-year-old son from a previous marriage, was the eldest son of Brian Iredale and his wife, Pam, who, together with their middle son, Andrew, are co-owners of Seasons Restaurant in Warwick Street.
Paying tribute to Paul, his uncle, Fred Bromwich, described him as someone who was "full of life" with a big personality.
He said: "Family, friends and workmates are just devastated by his death, which leaves a massive void in their lives."
