Family and friends of 18 year old Adam Simms have been paying their respects on social media.
A memorial tribute has been set up for Adam on Facebook where people have been sharing their memories of the young lad.
A GoFundMe page has been set up also, Adam’s friend Aaron said:
“On behalf of myself and Adam’s family I’d just like to thank everyone who’s donated or even shared the post. In 6 hours we’ve now raised over £3000 for Adam and it’s still climbing.
“With this money we will all share ideas when the times right to put together a memorial tribute together for Adam, whether it be something in his favourite location where we can all go and spend time with him, or it be something else to remember him.
“If only he was here to see the support behind him. He will be will be up there looking down on us, and he’d be so proud of us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart”
Friends have also had custom made tribute number plates made in Adam’s memory reading ‘RIP SIMMS’ and placed them in the dashboard of their cars.
