“Mohanad was the baby of the family, he was quick to laugh, easy to love, with a ready smile.
“Our son had an uncanny ability to make you laugh, making it sometimes difficult to be serious with him.
“Mohanad had many friends, he was loyal and often played the class clown, simply to see them laugh.
“Mohanad’s life has been cut tragically short, it is difficult to comprehend that seeing your son head off for school in the morning, would be the last time that we would see that handsome face.
“Mohanad deserves to be remembered for the young man who was loved by his family, and loved big in return, not as the boy whose life was taken with no thought or reason.
“We will not allow his name to be known as yet another statistic in the rise of knife crime.
