FORT WORTH, Texas — Another man has died after suffering a fatal accident at a Rednecks with Paychecks event over the weekend.
Steven Fairbairn, 25, was airlifted to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, his family said, after an incident that left him with severe brain injuries.
"I remember preparing for the worst but hoping so bad there was something they could do," said Abbey Green, Fairbairn's fiancée.
Fairbairn was originally from England. He moved to Duncan, Okla., 18 months ago, where he had a job and met Green. He proposed to her just two weeks ago with a ring that he bought in England while shopping with his mom.
"He became the most amazing young man," said Lynne Fairbairn, Steven's mother.
According to family, he attended the Rednecks with Paychecks Spring Break event for the second year in a row. He went with two other friends, excited for an American experience that matched his interests.
"He loved anything outdoors. He loved the motocross," Lynne Fairbairn said.
Green said that she got a call at 2 a.m. Saturday. Someone who was attending the event found his phone and saw her contact information in his emergency medical information while paramedics were treating him.
"It took a little while to find out where they were going to take him, but I knew that when it was a hospital that was 80 miles away, it wasn't good," Green said.
