The mother of a 14-year-old boy who died in a farm machinery accident says her ‘world has fallen apart’.
Harry Moss, from Birmingham, was killed on Thursday morning at Hillview Farm, in Malvern, Worcestershire.
He was a ‘hard working’ teenager who had set his sights on being a farmer from a young age, said his family.
A man, who has not been named, was also seriously hurt in the same incident and taken to hospital.
His injuries were not thought to be life threatening or life altering.
Paramedics tried to save Harry’s life at the scene, but said that sadly ‘nothing could be done’.
The circumstances surrounding the accident are currently not clear and police are investigating.
In a post on Facebook, his devastated mum Holly Mcmurray, 35, wrote: ‘My boy forever loved. My first born. My world has fallen apart. Fly high my homing pigeon.
‘Harry you did me so proud but boy you was 14 working too hard! Farmer forever. I love you so much.’
Harry’s father meanwhile, Lewis Moss, 39, described his son as the ‘best thing in the world’.
Speaking to the MailOnline he said: ‘All Harry ever wanted to be was a farmer. He loved everything about the countryside and everything about farming.
‘At a very early age he set his sights on being a farmer when he left school.
‘He was such a lovely lad. He was polite, hard-working and he was never any trouble to me.’
Mr Moss said it was not yet clear how Harry died or what task he was undertaking when the accident happened.
He added that police were investigating and are currently treating his death as unexplained.
Harry was the oldest of five children – he had three brothers and a sister.
Family friend Margaret Murrihy has launched an online fundraiser to help cover funeral costs and to support the family while they are grieving.
She wrote: ‘Harry moss was the most amazing teenager who had his whole life ahead of him it was tragically take at just the young age of 14 him being the eldest sibling of the family.
‘Harry was an amazing big brother and son and lived his life like a little homing pigeon – if he left home it was either to do what he loved, farming or fishing.
‘No parent should have to go through this unimaginable pain or receive this kind of news. I know nothing can help with the pain.
‘Harry was the best and will be given the best send-off.’
