His family say their loss has left a “massive void in our hearts”.

They wrote: "Born 1st May 2006, he came along in such a rush. He also left us in a rush, doing what he loved the most.

“He leaves behind his twin sister who was his best friend in the world and was the best brother to his younger brother and sister.

“We all loved him so much and he will leave a massive void in our hearts.

“He was a handsome, bright and funny lad with funny comebacks. He had the biggest heart and made sure he looked after his siblings.

“We will all miss him so much. He was very popular lad who had lots of friends who loved him.
