Earlier this week, Samantha Taylor provided a written tribute to her son and said: “He was really looking forward to his future and we are all completely devastated.
“He was deeply caring and family orientated and was a very intelligent boy.
“He brightened up any room he walked into he really cared about others and his life.”
Flowers and written messages have been left near the bus station in Bedford.
Bedford Academy’s head teacher, Chris Deller, earlier paid tribute to his student, describing him as “a popular, well-liked, and respected lad who finished Year 11 with a strong set of results, before going on to study at sixth form”.
