Tribute to Rochford crash victim

3:49pm Sunday 29th August 2010 in


A MAN who died in a crash in Rochford yesterday has been named.

David Churn, 70, of Plumberow Avenue, Hockley, is though to have suffered a heart attack at the wheel before crashing in Ashingdon Road, Rochford, about 12.40pm.

A retired plant driver, Mr Churn was married to Wendy, and leaves a son Gary, and grandchildren Jason and Robby.

His grieving family released a tribute today through Essex Police which said he and his wife had been planning an extended holiday to New Zealand.

It said: "He will be greatly missed by his family and friends."

Mr Churn lived in Hockley for the past 17 months but previously lived in Great Wakering for 16 years.

He was a keen sea and freshwater fisherman and owned his own boat.

* DID YOU KNOW MR CHURN? PLEASE LEAVE YOUR TRIBUTE BELOW.

How cruel is fate. My heart goes out to Wendy and her family. How much heartache must one family have to deal with? Big hugs to the boys.
