The family added Lyttle, who marked his 67th birthday in hospital, had dedicated most of his life to the medical industry and was a “vital pillar” of their local church.<\/p>\n
“His sudden loss leaves a deep, painful emptiness within us, and serves as a profound reminder,” they continued.<\/p>\n
“Always cherish every single moment you have with your loved ones, because it can all be taken away so incredibly fast.<\/p>\n
“Even in our deepest grief, we are immensely proud that John’s final act on this earth was to give life to others.<\/p>\n
“Three separate families had their lives changed forever because John gave their loved ones the ultimate gift: the chance to live longer. <\/p>\n
“While we navigate this deep emptiness you left behind, we will honour you by living fully and loving one another just as you did. Rest in peace.”<\/p>\n
After the crash, Wiltshire Police said it was keen to hear from eyewitnesses, as both the cyclist and the van were travelling in the same direction along Bradford Road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The family added Lyttle, who marked his 67th birthday in hospital, had dedicated most of his life to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":709101,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4985,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-709100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-cycling","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/709100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=709100"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/709100\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/709101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=709100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=709100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=709100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
