The family said: "Although it's been a whole year since our son, brother, grandson, cousin, nephew and friend was taken away, it feels just like yesterday that Kav was here laughing and joking.

"Despite it being a year of complete heartbreak, the kind words, videos and pictures that people continue to share assure us that Kav will never be forgotten.

"He is constantly on the minds of all who were lucky enough to have him in their lives and it is still so raw for us.”
