THE family of a 14-year-old who died in a fire in Gateshead have paid tribute to their "kind, caring and loving boy".
Hebburn Comprehensive School pupil Layton Carr died as a result of a fire at the Fairfield Industrial Estate near Bill Quay.
In a statement issued through Northumbria Police, Layton's family said: "Layton was such a kind, caring and loving boy. From the minute he was born it was obvious the character he would turn out to be.
"Layton was your typical 14-year-old lad, a cheeky, happy lad. Despite his cheeky side Layton had an absolute heart of gold and would do anything for anyone. He was loved by all that met him, and it showed."
The statement continued by paying tribute to Layton's love for his family.
It said: "He was a family boy that loved his mam and sisters more than anything in the world. Layton, we love you more than any words can ever explain. You will be missed more than you'll ever know. Our bright and beautiful boy."
The family also paid tribute to the work of the police and emergency services in finding Layton on Friday evening. They said: "As a family we would like to say a massive thank you to all that helped in finding Layton.
"A massive thank you to the police and all services involved. We're incredibly grateful for the work that you do every day to bring closure to families like ours."
