“Outside school, he was a very active boy who was dedicated to skateboarding and music spending most of his time with friends mastering new tricks and perfecting music on his guitar.

"He was such a loving caring person who always jumped at the chance of helping others and took great pride doing so.

“A very bright and beautiful boy who loved his brother so much, they were inseparable.
