HE ONLY WANTED ONE MORE BIKE RIDE — SIX-YEAR-OLD HARRISON’S FINAL JOURNEY LEAVES FAMILY HEARTBROKEN

Harrison Glynne Jones was just six when he asked to go outside for a bike ride after dinner. Minutes later, his family’s world was shattered after he was struck by a van outside his home in north Wales.

It was supposed to be an ordinary evening.

Six-year-old Harrison Glynne Jones had finished dinner and wanted to do something he loved — go outside for a bike ride.

He stepped out of his family home in Llanfairfechan, Conwy, on Thursday evening, October 1.

His father, Daryl, was only metres away.

Within moments, tragedy unfolded.

Harrison was struck by a white Ford Transit tipper van on Mill Road, just outside his home.

Despite efforts to help him, the little boy was pronounced dead at the scene.

For his family, the ordinary evening they expected would become a memory they could never escape.

“IT ALL HAPPENED SO QUICKLY”

According to relatives, Harrison had only just gone outside with his bicycle.

Family member Kate Jones said he had opened the front door, picked up his bike and then fell into the narrow road as he was getting onto it.

His father was close behind him when the collision happened.

Daryl rushed to his son.

But there was nothing he could do to save him.

The speed of the tragedy has left Harrison’s family struggling to understand what happened.

“There are no words” to describe the heartbreak facing his parents and sisters, the family said.

Harrison’s mother, Kayleigh Bolton, and his father, Daryl, have been left devastated, along with his older sisters, Sienna, 9, and Eira, 16.

A LITTLE BOY WHO COULD LIGHT UP A ROOM

Away from the heartbreaking circumstances of his death, Harrison is being remembered for the personality he brought into the lives of those around him.

His family described him as a “cheeky chappy” with a huge personality and a big heart.

He was a lively little boy who could make people smile.

Harrison adored his sisters.

His family said he was constantly play-fighting with Sienna, while Eira was described as being almost like a second mother to her little brother.

He loved his family deeply — and they loved him just as fiercely.

“Forever loved, forever missed, forever 6.”

That is the message his family wants people to remember.

HIS LOVE OF BIKES

Harrison had a particular passion for bikes.

His family regularly took him to a dirt-bike track on Sundays, while he also enjoyed spending time at nearby Pen y Bryn Park.

So the bike ride that night was something completely ordinary for a six-year-old who simply loved being outside.

He also loved music.

According to his family, one of his favourite songs was Michael Jackson’s “Beat It.”

Those small details are now becoming some of the memories his family will hold onto forever.

“HE HAD HIS WHOLE LIFE AHEAD OF HIM”

For Harrison’s father, one of the most painful parts of the tragedy is knowing that his son will never get the chance to grow up.

Family members said Daryl had imagined a future for his little boy and had a long list of things he wanted to experience with him.

Now, those plans have been replaced by grief.

Harrison’s family had only recently enjoyed their first holiday abroad together, travelling to Turkey during the summer.

During that trip, Daryl reportedly helped save someone who had encountered difficulties in a swimming pool.

Harrison was said to have been incredibly proud of his father, repeatedly telling people that his dad was a hero.

Now, his family are trying to remind Daryl of something even more important:

He was Harrison’s hero, too.

A VILLAGE IN SHOCK

The tragedy has shaken Llanfairfechan, where Harrison was known and loved.

Flowers and soft toys were left close to the scene as people came to pay tribute to the little boy.

The Llanfair Arms described the community as heartbroken by the loss of a child who was known by so many people.

The message reflected the feeling of a village struggling to make sense of a tragedy that happened so suddenly.

There are no easy words for a family losing a six-year-old child.

POLICE APPEAL FOR WITNESSES

North Wales Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit is investigating the circumstances surrounding Harrison’s death.

Officers have appealed to anyone who was in the area around Pen y Bryn Road and Mill Road at around 5 p.m. on October 1 to come forward.

Investigators are particularly interested in any CCTV, doorbell-camera or dashcam footage that could help establish exactly what happened.

Police have said that even footage that appears insignificant could potentially assist the investigation.

A 39-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident on suspicion of driving offences and has since been released under investigation while enquiries continue.

Police have also asked people not to speculate online or share material that could interfere with the investigation.

A FAMILY TRYING TO SAY GOODBYE

A fundraiser has been launched to help Harrison’s family with funeral and memorial costs, as well as practical expenses while his parents take time away from work to grieve.

Donations quickly began pouring in from people touched by the little boy’s story.

But no amount of money can fill the space Harrison has left behind.

His family now face the unimaginable task of saying goodbye to a child who had only just begun his life.

A little boy who loved bikes.

A little brother who adored his sisters.

A son who thought his father was a hero.

And a six-year-old whose family says his personality could light up an entire room.

Harrison was only six.

He went outside expecting another ordinary bike ride.

His family now wants the world to remember him for the life he brought to those around him — forever loved, forever missed, forever 6.
