A teacher who died in a three-car collision had a huge impact on young lives.

The teacher, named locally as Damon Gravatt, was killed after his Toyota collided with two other cars on the A29 in Bury Hill, near Arundel, on Wednesday at 5.35pm.

On Facebook pupils past and present paid tribute to the 36-year-old, many referring to him as “Mr G”.

One woman said: “Mr G didn't realise what an impact he had on such young lives. You were loved by so many.

“I’m so grateful for all the things you've taught me and I could never repay you.

“It really is too awful to believe.

“I want to just fall asleep and wake up as if nothing has happened and you were OK.

“I just want to go back to that school and see you walk through that door with your amazing ties, saying how tall I'm getting.”

At the time of his death he taught at the Southway School in Bognor where colleagues said he was “very well-respected and would be missed.”
