Parents pay tribute to tragic teenager Ed Barry

Comments  | 
Read all comments on this story.

Edward BarryThe parents of Edward Barry - the 14-year-old boy found dead at a Gravesend home - have paid tribute to their son.

The teenager's body was discovered at an address in Parrock Street on Friday, although a post mortem examination failed to establish how he died.

In a statement, Patrick and Justine Barry said: "Ed was a very much-loved son, brother and friend. He attended Gravesend Grammar School for Boys and will undoubtedly be greatly missed there, too.

"Kent Police have launched an investigation into his death and we as a family are fully supportive of their actions in doing this."

Ed's friends have laid flowers in Parrock Street and hundreds of tributes have been posted on Facebook.

A police spokesman said: "Kent Police is awaiting the results of a toxicology report and investigations continue. An inquest is due to be opened early next week."

    ed...i ddint know you that well as i only meet you a few times but its going to be hard going down lord street with you skating with your top off will now be very odd without you there. you always made everyone laugh, and everyone always had a smile on their face when they saw you. even though i only knew you through other people, it felt as if we had known eachother for ages. i cant believe you've gone..you didn'd deserve to go the way you did. like everyone has said you will be greatly missed and not easily forgotten. in fact nobody can forget you as you was a kind, loving boy. i will miss you always ed...:(..love you xxxxxxxxxxxxx

    can't believe you're gone so young. you didn't deserve to die at all. way too young to lose your life. i didn't know you that well, but from what i did i know, you were feckin' amazing. mollie needs to keep her chin up, and soldier on, as much as she misses you. we all do. you'll never ever be forgotten babe. sleep tight angel,
    much love,
    sophey,x'

    geo was the first person to tell me you had gone. i could not believe it i had to ring chloe just ask if he was right and she said he was i was like in shock. on Saturday morning just about everyone was out and in bits. joe bless him i fort i would never see him cry or in bits like that. i did not even think the day would come where we all had to say goodbye to someone who was so close to everyone and yet so young and just about new everyone. i do not think things will ever be the same at lord street we will be missing a skater. xx

    I didnt believe it when my friend told me ed was gone :/ i thought it was a sick joke. But it wasnt. I was shocked. I never thought ed would die. I thought he'd live til he had grey hair and wrinkles. I wish i could give you another hug, but i cant. Its weird, i keep thinking hes gonna be at lordstreet skateboarding or ill see him walking around town.We never really spoke as much, but whenever we'd see eachother we wave say hi and that.You was so young, its hard to believe your actually gone :( He never judged anyone, always gave everyone a chance or two. He never made me feel as if i was alone. He was easy to talk to.
    I miss you ed x
    Love youu xxxx
