A father of three, who worked long hours to provide a good life for his family, was killed in a motorcycle crash in California the day before his daughter's birthday.
Henry Moore, 37, of Fairfield, was getting onto the I-80 on-ramp from the Manuel Campos Parkway when he 'failed to negotiate the curve' and crashed around 4.30am on October 29, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) said in a statement.
Preliminary information suggested the father's speed was a factor in the crash, CHP said.
Authorities found Moore on the side of the road 'unconscious with shallow breathing.' Life-saving measures were taken, but the father succumbed to his injuries at 4.36am.
'The officers and staff of CHP Solano extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and everyone affected by this heartbreaking incident,' the agency said in a statement.
The investigation remains ongoing.
Moore died the day before his daughter's birthday, his sister Jessica Romero told the San Francisco Chronicle.
'That's also something that everyone was completely shattered about,' she said.

Moore leaves behind a wife, Renee, and three children: 11-year-old Ria, eight-year-old Jhene, and three-year-old Nathaniel.
Romero described her brother as a hard-working man who loved to create memories with his family.
When he wasn't working 12-hour shifts at the Chevron Richmond refinery, he was traveling with his children and wife, or planning trips to see family.
He also attended Sunday dinners once a month, where roughly 20 members of their family and friends gathered together, she told the outlet.
'He was a loving husband, devoted father, son, grandson, brother, uncle, and friend whose presence brought joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories to everyone who knew him,' Romero wrote in his obituary.
'Henry took great pride in his family, and his love for his wife and children was an important part of who he was.'
Romero remembered her brother as an adrenaline seeker who loved adventures.
He was turning onto I-80 West when he 'failed to negotiate the curve' and crashed around 4.30am, the California Highway Patrol said
'Whether he was snowboarding down the mountains, building and customizing cars, collecting and trading Pokémon cards, or traveling and exploring new places, Henry always found ways to enjoy life to the fullest,' she wrote on GoFundMe.
'But what made these experiences even more special to Henry was being able to share them with his family and loved ones. For Henry, it wasn't just about the adventure; it was about who he got to experience it with.'
The Daily Mail has reached out to CHP and the family for comment.
