The family of a cyclist who died following a road traffic collision in Bicester have released a tribute to him.
Dave Parris, 48, died following the collision between his bicycle and a silver Ford Escort on the A4421 Neunkirchen Way, near to Langford Village, at about 6pm on Tuesday, December 4.
In a statement released tonight by the police, the family said: “The tragic loss of much loved David, who will be dearly missed by family and friends. Dave was a family man who always had time for his friends.
“Dave lived in Banbury until he moved to London where he attended Kingswood Secondary School.
“Dave married and had two beautiful daughters that were everything to him. He later joined the prison service at Pentonville prison.
"Three years ago he moved back to Banbury and started work at Bullingdon prison and moved to Bicester to be near his work.
“Dave had so much to live for - to see his two daughters grow up and he had a job he really enjoyed doing. He was loved and will never be forgotten by his parents, his daughters, his brothers and sister.
“We would like to thank the police, ambulance service and all the staff at the John Radcliffe Hospital."
