Tributes pouring in from bereaved friends and family have crushed the motocross world at large after the death of the young rider.
When I was a kid, you were my hero and the best big brother in the world. ‘You guided me through life to this point and for that I’ll always be grateful,’ Damon Erbacher wrote to his brother on Instagram.
You were my hero growing up, and how you handled yourself was a source of inspiration; you’ll always be my big brother, and I’m eternally grateful for our time together.
Erbacher’s uncle Elliot Newman wrote on Facebook his nephew “died doing what he loved”.
“He was a handsome young man who everyone adored… There is no one who can take this man’s position.
Erbacher’s mother, Corinne, was present at the Wonthaggi race and released a statement describing her shock and grief to Nine News.
The family said, “Brayden impacted the lives of so many, and we were so proud to name him our son. On behalf of the family, we would like to thank the entire motocross community for their support today when our whole world came apart.”
James Beston, the teen’s best buddy, sent a heartfelt farewell letter along with many other riders and friends.
They say nobody’s perfect, but you were pretty bloody near to it, he told his best friend for life.
You’d do anything for a friend, including giving them the clothes off your back.
“Even though you are no longer with us, your lovable laugh and giddy grin will be remembered fondly by all. There are no words to express how much I love and appreciate you, brother, and how much I will miss you till we meet again.
