TRIBUTES are pouring in to a "fantastic guy" as mourners say goodbye to a father and friend.
Timothy Igoea, a 44-year-old Heighington man, suffered head injuries when he was hit by a Ford Transit van at 3.25pm on Friday last week.
The incident happened at the junction of Sheepwash Lane, Station Road and Branston Road, in Heighington, near Lincoln.
He was taken to Lincoln County Hospital, but died a short time later.
Mourners have begun laying flowers at the site of the accident and friends have created a Facebook group to share their memories and leave their condolences.
Mr Igoea, or "Iggy" to his friends, was a motorcycle enthusiast and has been described by mourners as a "brave and determined man" who touched the lives of all who knew him.
Some people chose to share poems in honour of Mr Igoea, while others told their favourite stories of times spent with him.
Tracy Kinder, who also shared pictures of Mr Igoea on the tribute group, wrote: "I have never known anybody as kind and loving.
"He changed my life in so many ways and I'll be eternally thankful. I just hope I brought as much pleasure to his life as he did to mine. Love you always Tim."
Another mourner, Lynn Hind, wrote: "Knowing that there are so many people out there saddened by this sad news is a comfort to Tim's family and myself.
"Tim was a lovely guy and the most courageous person I know.
"He was a wonderful father and a great friend. He will leave a huge void in our lives.
"Look outside – he is the brightest star you will see."
Neil Brackenbury wrote a special tribute message on behalf of himself and his wife, Elaine.
He wrote: "It's taken two days for this terrible news to sink in and then to be able to write a tribute.
"Our thoughts are with all the family and friends. A true friend sadly missed, but never forgotten."

A 21-year-old female passenger died from her injuries while en route to Boston Pilgrim Hospital.
A 24-year-old man was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Lincolnshire Police are still appealing for witnesses to both of these incidents.
