Heartbreaking Tribute from Family

“Our kind, intelligent and talented son was in his first year at Southampton University studying accountancy and finance. He’d smashed his A-levels and was fully embracing university life, joining two football teams, making new friends, and working part-time at Morrisons. Henry was loved by everyone who knew him – an incredible son, brother, cousin, grandson, nephew, friend, and teammate. He went out celebrating the end of his first semester with his new football friends. Devastatingly, he never made it home. Our hearts break for the bright future taken away from him. We are so proud of all he achieved. Our world will never be the same without our amazing Henry.”
