Jefferson Justin, 27, who spent most of his life in Sharjah, died in a motorcycle accident in Leeds, UK on Friday, July 25. He was supposed to visit his family in the UAE next month.
His brother, Juvin, shared that Jefferson’s bike skidded while taking a turn on Wellington Road and slammed into a barrier. UK police are currently investigating the incident.
A Careful Rider and a Cheerful Soul
Juvin said the bike wasn’t made for highways, just country roads, and Jefferson always wore full safety gear. “He wasn’t reckless at all — always cautious,” he added.
Beyond being careful, Jefferson was described as the “sunshine” of the family — always smiling, always putting others first.
Sharjah Roots Run Deep
Jefferson grew up in Sharjah with his two brothers and studied at Emirates National School. The family has called the UAE home for over 30 years.
Now, they’re working to bring Jefferson’s body back to the UAE for burial. “He loved this place. It was always home,” said Juvin.
