The motorbike enthusiast was born on the Isle of Man before settling down in Fletwood.
During that time, he spent a few years operating as a HGV driver.
Hi step-daughter Demi Ramshaw, 22, said the accident happened only 10 minutes after Paul had reunited with his dad, who he hadn't seen for 35 years.
Demi said: "He'd Facetime'd his two sons to meet their grandad for the first time and then he left to do one last lap to visit where his mum's ashes had been spread close to Mountain Road.
"Me and my partner Danny have just had a baby who is only 12 days old and he'd only got to meet him once. It's absolutely tragic. I think his partner Nicola is still in shock. She's travelled over to the Isle of Man to see him."
The family are attempting to get Paul home to Fleetwood.
However, the cheapest quote they've received so far is £6,000.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help raise funds to cover the costs of travel as well as funeral arrangements.
Demi added: "We've had some pretty big quotes from some funeral directors into the thousands however we think that this may be the cheapest one.
"We're currently at £2,570 and we have about 10-12 days before the body is released so any little helps.
"We're really grateful to everyone who has donated so far."
Paul leaves behind his two sons, Daniel, 32 and Darren, 29, as well as his stepdaughter Demi, 22, his partner of 16 years Nicola Clark, 40.
He also leaves behind his 12-day old grandson, Lave Reve, and many more family members and friends far and wide.
