"Harry tragically died in a car crash in the early hours of Wednesday, 6 July 2022, here in Farnham.

"As a family we are heartbroken and truly devastated at the loss of our wonderful Harry.

"His infectious and jovial personality made him easy company and he treated everyone with respect no matter who they were. He had a very large circle of great friends who we know are all sharing in our hurt at his loss.

"Harry, our darling boy, we will all miss you so much, the pain is unbearable. We will hold you in our hearts and minds forever.

"We love you Harry.

"Mum, Dad and Mills."
