Fiancée 'broken' following death of 'amazing dad' in motorbike crash in Renfrewshire

The fiancée of a man who was killed in a motorbike crash in Renfrewshire has said she is “absolutely broken”.

Emergency services were called to the crash, involving a KTM 790 Duke and a Land Rover Discovery on the B790 Houston Road, around 6.35pm on May 18.

Jack Goodfellow, the rider of the motorbike, was pronounced dead at the scene. The occupants of the Land Rover were uninjured.

A fundraiser has since been launched to help the 30-year-old’s fiancée and their children, as they deal with funeral costs.

Christina described Jack, who was originally from Kilbirnie, as an “amazing dad with a heart of gold” and said he will be missed by his loved ones.

“He was a great fiancé, we were together for seven years”, she told STV News.

“He was also an amazing dad, he has two boys and three step-children who he adored more than life, and was always wanting to be outdoors on the bike, camping, fishing, doing anything he could, or helping people.

“He would have given his last to absolutely anyone if he could.

“A heart of gold, you genuinely won’t find someone again like him in your lifetime. I’m absolutely broken he’s left us.

“He has so many people around him who love him, he will be truly missed.

“Can I please ask for people to be extra careful on the road especially with bikers as they have little to no protection, especially against a car. Just drive a little slower on corners and bends.”

Sergeant Ally Wright said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died.

“We are carrying out extensive enquiries to establish the full circumstances and would like to thank all the motorists who remained at the scene to speak with officers.

“We would ask anyone who witnessed the collision and has yet to speak with police, to please come forward. Anyone with relevant dash-cam footage is also asked to contact us.

“If you can help, please call police on 101, quoting incident 2960 of May 18, 2025.”
