Tributes to 'kindest boy' after sudden death

The family of a teenager who died suddenly says he was "the kindest boy with the biggest heart".

Tributes have been flooding in from friends and family after Harrison Aylott, 15, of Chipping Campden in Gloucestershire died on Monday.

His family said: "Our beautiful boy Harrison was the light in our lives and had everyone laughing within minutes of being in his company."

The Cotswold School in Bourton-on-the-Water, where Harrison was in Year 11, said it will be providing support to pupils and staff.

Harrison's family added: "His relationship with his brothers was so special and to see them laugh together brought us so much joy."

His family said they had received "so many lovely messages" from his friends, and asked those who knew him to keep sending photographs of Harrison.

"While nothing will heal this pain, we will continue to carry him in our hearts forever and ever, and we encourage all who loved him to do the same and think of all the places he will go," his family added.

"Our dear boy, we love you so much."

The Cotswold School leaders said they are sending "thoughts and prayers" to Harrison's family.

"Harrison quickly became a valued member of our school community," the school wrote on Facebook.

"He made friends with ease, embraced the opportunities available to him in Year 11, and brought warmth and positivity to those around him.

"He brightened our school, was a genuine pleasure to teach, and is a student who will be remembered with great fondness by all who knew him."

Harrison was also a member of last season's Under-16s squad at Stow-on-the-Wold Rugby Club.

A club spokesperson said: "The loss of a young life is heartbreaking, and we stand together as a club and rugby community to support one another through this incredibly difficult period."
