The family of 19-year-old Sheldon Lewcock who died on Tuesday (9/8) following an incident in Pierces Hill, Tilehurst, on 4 August, have released the following tribute to him.

Sheldon’s mum said:

“My beautiful, beautiful boy. Words cannot describe how we all feel.

“You were taken so young in such a cruel way. Your life was beautiful, your heart was pure, your smile lit up the room and your laugh echoed through the house, which we no longer get to hear.

“The house is so quiet without you around.

“Although our hearts are left empty, we know you are back with Nanny Dot, who is keeping you safe.

“Until we meet again, I love you my little boy, we all do.

“Always and forever in our hearts, never a day forgotten, heaven will be good to you.

“Fly high, our angel.”

A 17-year-old boy has been charged with attempted murder in connection with the incident and Police have begun a murder investigation following Sheldon's death.
