The 20-year-old was killed in a crash last week.

A memorial service will be held Thursday for an Exeter man killed in a motorcycle crash last week.

Chris Buxton, 20, was killed on Watson Road near Stonewall Way, police said. 

Buxton graduated from Exeter High School in 2010, according to his obituary.

He worked in the parts department of JR Rosencrantz & Sons in Kensington. He loved extreme sports, his obituary said.

Visiting hours will be held Thursday from 4 to 7 p.m. at Brewitt Funeral Home in Exeter. 

Police said Buxton fell off his bike and hit another vehicle driven by an Exeter woman.

The crash happened in a residential section of Exeter near a sharp turn.

Buxton was not wearing a helmet, police said. Capt. Bill Shupe said investigators are trying to figure out how Buxton fell off his bike.

A roadside memorial for Buxton was set up with a cross, flowers, pictures, and messages from loved ones.
