Young Southampton Door Supervisor dies in Motorbike Crash

That is one of the many tributes paid to 19-year-old George Milton after he died in a crash in Southampton.

Marcel Cullers, Managing Director of Security Nation, said he is ‘absolutely devastated’ by George’s death. The pair had worked together for nearly two years.

In a heartfelt tribute to George, Mr Cullers said he had a lovely relationship with the teenager, with the pair enjoying a lot of ‘banter’.

He said: “We trained him, I trained him. George was only with me last week at an event. He was one of our up-and-coming young lads at the company.

“George was genuinely one of the funniest lads we ever had working with us. He was daft as well.

“We had a great laugh. He would do anything for you.

“It was only last week George told me he wanted to take his driving test.

“He used to smile his cheeky grin and I’d roll my eyes.”

Mr Cullers said George is going to be ‘massively missed’ by everyone in the company.

He said: “George had a cheeky, teenage grin.

“We knew he was smiling because he was going to do something dumb.

“He was lovely and he’s going to be massively missed.

“For such a young man with so much potential, to be taken too soon is horrific.

“We are absolutely devastated by this news.

“George was truly loved by everyone who worked here.”

Friend and colleague Gemma Bennett said George was ‘one of a kind’.

She said: “He was the light of the party, he was the class clown, he had the biggest heart and lived life to the max each day.

“George was there for everyone and was always laughing.

“He’ll be remembered for his random whistling and popping his gum.

“He is loved by so many and taken too soon.

“He partied hard and we will continue that with him in spirit.”

Mr Cullers also paid tribute to George on Facebook, with hundreds of people sharing their condolences on his post.

Many described the news as a ‘tragedy’ with others saying he was ‘taken far too young’.

Chris Over said: “Rest easy George such a good lad.

“The circumstances couldn’t be any more awful sending all my love to each and every one of you at Security Nation.”

Jai Jai Wheels commented: “This is such sad news.

“A cheeky chap with massive potential to have a great career now gone.”

Officers were called to Portswood Road in the early hours of Monday morning following a crash involving a motorbike and a number of parked vehicles.

George, from Eastleigh, was taken to hospital but sadly died a short time later.

His family are being supported by specialist officers.
