The statement said: “Alexander was a beautiful, kind and loving lad. He saw the good in everything and everyone – he never had a bad word to say about anyone.

“He was always happy and smiling and the perfect son to me and his mother Lisa, and a perfect brother to his sisters Robyn and Bethany.

“Through all his family and friends, everybody loved him.

“He had a great future ahead of him.

“Sadly he has been taken too soon.”
