“He had the most infectious personality, which explains the amount of friends he had, most of them knowing him simply as ‘Key’, Kieran held all his family and friends in such high regard. We are astounded and comforted by the number of people leaving such beautiful messages with flowers, on cards and also on Facebook groups set up in memory of Kieran, which more than 1,100 people have joined.
“He was tragically taken too soon. None of us will ever run out of tears for darling Kieran – forever young. Anyone wishing to attend the funeral would be welcome. It will be held on Wednesday, April 14, at 1pm at Trinity Church, Sarum Hill, Basingstoke.”
