Berian Powell says he now refuses to leave his partner or his little girl now without saying 'I love them'
Neil Powell loved motorcycling. But tragically his passion resulted in his death, when he was killed in a bike crash in July 2019, aged 60.
"My dad would always be doing something with us, whether that was kayaking, cycling or anything. We couldn't afford to go abroad but would holiday in Porthcrawl. My siblings and I would make friends with kids in the holiday park and before you knew it he'd be playing football with all of us and he would be one of the kids."
Berian said that, although it breaks his heart, it gives him some comfort to know that his dad was killed instantly and wasn't in pain for long. One of the most difficult things for Berian is that he was also supposed to ride with his dad that day. Losing his dad was Berian's first experience of loss and came as a huge "wake-up call", he said. "For me, it's the first close person I ever lost so it was a wake-up call. It broke me because it came out of the blue."It taught me one hell of a hard lesson that you have to make every day count because one day you can be here and one day you may not. I refuse to leave my partner or my little girl now without saying I love them.
After doing some research, Berian said he sent an email to music producer Stuart Epps about his idea, who has worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry including Elton John, Led Zeppelin, Oasis and Robbie Williams. Berian said he was delighted when Stuart replied to him straight away and was willing to help his vision come to life.
