Kyle’s friend Phoebe Pocock posted on Facebook: “Still can't believe your gone. All I can think about is your cheeky face, always sticking his nose in and making people laugh.

“You were such a nice person you didn't deserve to go this young. You had a bright future full of success and happiness to live miss you buddy. We will never forget you.”
