Family pay tribute to 'happy boy' who was killed in Carlisle road accident

The family of a 16-year-old boy who died following a single vehicle collision on Thursday 2nd December on Holywell Crescent, Carlisle have paid tribute to his life.

Reuben Price, of Borland Avenue sadly died at the scene of the collision.

In tribute, his family said: “Reuben was a happy boy. His family, and his girlfriend were everything to him. Everywhere you seen Reuben you saw his girlfriend, both were attached at the hip and were definitely soulmates.

“Reuben was one of six siblings and was close to his sisters and brother, he looked up to his two older siblings and always wanted to be like his big brother. He loved spending time with his sisters, and they were more like best friends, all sharing secrets. He was so happy when his big sister made him an uncle to his niece.

“He was his mam’s human google map when she was driving, loved going out to work with his dad and he would also always go visit his granny and grandad especially for the home cured bacon.

“Reuben was a joker and a prankster, however if you were upset, he would be the first to put his arms around you.

“He had his life planned ahead of him and to see how many people and teachers have since spoke about him shows how loved he was.”
