"He touched so many people’s lives in such a short time, he really did spread himself far. He really was one in a million.
"I'm so happy I was his mum. He was only 16 and so full of life and so happy.”
A police spokesman said his death was not being treated as suspicious and a file would be passed to the coroner.
