Victoria Kerr, one of Mr Turner's relatives, posted on the Dunwich Dynamo's Facebook page: "Hello all. On behalf of myself and Dominic's parents I'd like to say a huge thank you to all those who tried to help him last night. We are taking lots of comfort that he passed away doing something he loved. Keep on riding 🚲 ♥️".

Mr Turner was a father of two who worked for an events company.
