The statement added: "Curtis learnt to come off his stabilizers on his bike at an early age, when he was just two-and-a-half.
"By the age of four, he had joined a Surrey youth motorcycle trails club, had his own motorbike and started competing and winning trophies.
"He clearly had a natural talent and balance for trial motorcycling, and he enjoyed riding his bike to school every day.
"Curtis was such a happy soul - he would light up everybody’s lives and get them laughing. He is so greatly missed by everyone."
Family and friends left flowers and heartfelt messages on the street on which the crash happened.
The youngster's school - Chobham Road - says staff have spoken to all pupils following guidance from educational psychologists.
Paramedics and an off-duty midwife battled to resuscitate Curtis after the horror near his home.
He was rushed to Frimley Park Hospital but medics were unable to save him.
