Tribute from family of 16
year old Lewis Dunne
THE family of 16 year old, Lewis Dunne, who died on
Sunday,15 November following a shooting incident in the Eldonian Village,
Vauxhall, have paid tribute to him.
Mum Gemma, dad Steven and sisters Ashley and Yasmin said:- "He was the
love of our life, the bond that held our family together. Most people wait years
to find their soul mate but the day our Lewis was born was the day our hearts
and souls were complete. He was so kind and gentle, always touching, kissing and
giving hugs out. He had so much love to give and it was truly a luxury to feel.
Our baby, our Lewis, our blessing. We have been sat here trying to find the
words to describe the love of our lives. But the fact is we can't. All the
adjectives ring hollow because they don't do justice to who Lewis truly was.
Lewis was his own person, he was sure of himself and knew who he was. He had
values that weren't compromised by anything. He was an individual. He loved
everyone, he loved peace and would sit and talk for hours on end, reflecting on
the wonders of life. He was deep and he was sensitive. He was not just
academically smart, he was wise. Wiser than most adults in fact. No matter what
we, his family, write it doesn't have the power to ring through the honest truth
of how beautiful Lewis was and that's what we want people to know; how beautiful
Lewis was and is. He was goodness and it felt safe to hold him in our arms. The
world has been robbed of our beautiful baby boy who really made people's lives
magic and who had the power to do something great in this world. He brought
love, he gave love, he was and is love. Our family is broken. Please, if anyone
knows anything about what happened to Lew, our gorgeous, handsome baby boy, come
forward. He did not deserve this."
