On the last day of his life, Muhammad Nailul Author, 15, washed his trail motorcycle and a pickup truck that had been entrusted to him by his father, who wanted him to learn how to make money from it.
Nailul also took his mother and sister to a meatball shop to buy food, and asked his sister to feed him the food as he drove them home.
His sister Fahriza Amsori, 22, said those were her last memories of her brother. He had planned to go on an off-road trip after watching a football match between home team Arema FC and Persebaya Surabaya last Saturday night in Malang city in East Java.
But the teenager did not make it for the trip.
He was among the 125 people killed in Saturday's stampede at Kanjuruhan Stadium, which also injured another 467, in one of the world's worst stadium disasters.
