COLUMBIA CITY, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter)- Family and Friends of Justin Wilcoxson remember him as a fun-loving free spirit.

An avid Motocross racer and automobile enthusiast, Wilcoxson died on Sunday after the motorcycle he was riding rear-ended a car on State Road 9 on Saturday.

In a tribute to him, his family and friends gathered in Columbia City with their motorcycles, trucks and cars to run two laps through town-an activity they say Justin loved.

His family says they hope his death will inspire riders to wear their helmets.

Justin was not wearing his helmet when he crashed.
