“He was a loving, caring giant of a character who would look after all those he loved.
“His family and friends will deeply miss his infectious smile and ability to make everyone around him laugh like the class clown he was.
“Bright and so intelligent, he had the ability to turn the most basic of conversations into full-on debate.

“With every waking moment we miss you, Stuart, and will always love you like you are right by our sides.
“RIP beautiful boy. Fly high with the angels our darling son, brother, and friend. We are heartbroken forever.”
