Morgan Osbourne sadly died as a result of his injuries. His family have now paid a heartfelt tribute to their son. They said: “Morgan meant everything to us, he wasn’t just a son, he was our best friend. He was loving and caring and would do anything for anyone. It is hard to put into words how devastated we all are and what he meant to us. He was so funny and always made us laugh.
“He lived life to the full and had a love for cars and motorbikes. He loved his family so much and enjoyed spending time with his brother and sisters playing computer games. He had a good group of friends, and he was well known in the community and loved by all. He will be sadly missed by everyone that knew him.
“It is hard to describe the loss we are dealing with. Morgan has been taken far too early and we miss him every day.”
