TWO Facebook pages set-up to remember Tom have seen hundreds of messages posted in tribute to him since the youngster’s death.
Dan Dez said: “Never known anyone who could be so loved and popular for just being yourself. Not a bad word anyone could ever say, you’re going to be missed Tom, RIP.”
Zoe Corredor said: “Rest in peace Tom, thinking of you always. You will always be remembered for the lovely happy boy that you were, fly high angel.”
Sherice Ellen said: “RIP - so upset, you was an amazing boy, didn't do no harm to no-one, heart of gold. I will be looking at the brightest star every night and praying for you, the good die young.
“I will always have a space for you in my heart. Always seen you with a smile and had so many great memories with you, sleep tight and RIP with the angels Thomas Jack Rowley.”
Hayley Long added: “I still can't believe what's happened Tom, you were such a lovely lad and I am glad to have met you.
“Watch over our Tash ‘cos she's going to need you in the next few weeks. You treated her like a princess and we wouldn't have changed you for the world.
“You'll always be a part of our family and we will never forget you. Rest in paradise mate."
