Paying tribute to her ‘smashing lad’, Keagan’s mum said: “On October 12th 2020 our lives were shattered. Our gorgeous, fun-loving boy was viciously and violently taken away from us. We never fully understood the word ‘devastated’ until that day, this is not an exaggeration - we are truly devastated.
“Keagan was a smashing lad, was liked by all of his friends, the life and soul of any gathering. He could be boisterous at times but also had a sensitive side and would help anyone out. To us, he was our lad, our Keag, annoying at times but we knew he loved us immensely and we him. He was our protector and we were his.
“The thought of our lad, our Keagan, no longer being here, pains us every single day. We continue with our lives but we feel a void, Keagan is missing. He will always be missing. Trying to live without him is hard.
“The sense of grief can be overwhelming, one minute making a brew, the next you feel the tears on your cheeks as you’re stirring the spoon. It’s made so much worse knowing he was taken away from us so cruelly and needlessly as Keag was at the wrong place at the wrong time.
“Naturally in this world, children should bury their parents, not the other way around. I will
