The announcement on his Facebook and Instagram page reads:
"It’s with the deepest regret that we inform our supporters & friends that Dale Sharpe passed away in Kansas in the United States on the 20 June, 2019
Dale was driving on Highway 2 north east of Harper where he struck a deer.
Dale’s vehicle was disabled on the road and he sought safety calling for assistance.
The vehicle started to billow smoke from the engine bay and Dale sought refuge on the side of the road.
A passing motorist avoided colliding with the stranded vehicle at the last moment by leaving the road.
Dale ran for cover into a ditch, however it’s understood the same oncoming vehicle sought refuge in the same direction simultaneously and he was subsequently struck.
He was treated by health care professionals on scene and in hospital, however passed away at 2.14am.
Dale was loved by many and will be deeply missed.
On behalf of the family we thank you for all your support, but ask that you respect our privacy at this difficult time."
He will be missed by the many people around the world he has inspired and brought joy to with his photography, positivity and fun loving attitude. He had just had a baby girl.
