Tributes paid to 19-year-olds killed in crash

Tributes have been paid by the families of two 19-year-olds who died in a fatal crash in Surrey.

Emergency services responded to a three-car collision in Epsom Road, East Clandon, late on 21 August and Surrey Police said three people had been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

The family of Joshua Farris, from Woking, says he will be "deeply missed every day, but he will never be forgotten".

The parents of Mckenzie Graham Redding, known as Max and also from Woking, say they "cannot put into words how heartbroken we are at the loss of our beloved son".

A 22-year-old man from Woking, a 21-year-old woman from Guildford and a 19-year-old man from Guildford had been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

Surrey Police said they had all been released on police bail and inquiries were ongoing.

Farris' family said he was a "much-loved son, grandson and brother" who "had his whole future ahead of him".

"He was always willing to help others, whether family, friends or someone in need, and he never expected anything in return," they added.

"He brought so much joy to the people around him and was loved by everyone who knew him.

"His caring personality, loyalty and willingness to put others before himself made him a truly special young man."

His family said they would "cherish the memories we share" with Farris, who was an apprentice mechanic.

Redding's parents said the loss they felt was "immeasurable".

"Max was a brilliant sportsman. He took part in gymnastics and trampolining, competing in numerous tournaments, before going on to develop a real passion for rugby," they said.

"Whatever Max chose to do, he threw himself into it, whether it was sport, his work or something he simply enjoyed - he always gave it everything he had. Max loved life and lived it to its fullest.

"Since his passing, the messages and tributes we have received have shown us just how many lives he had touched."

Redding's family said they had heard from friends about the support he had shown them, particularly during difficult times in their own lives.

"Knowing how loved he was, and hearing the difference he made to so many people, has made us incredibly proud of the young man he became," they added.
