He had an idyllic childhood surrounded by the love of his family and friends on the Isle of Wight.
A talented musician with a flair for writing, he was in a band with friends and was well liked among his peer group. He had excelled with his GCSEs which gave him more enthusiasm to fulfil his ambition of becoming a marine biologist.
