We held our season tickets with you and your dad last year with seats next to you. Each time the blues score we will think of you. Good Night, God bless, sleep tight with the angels little man. With all our love to a true blue from another!
Rhys. I did not know you, but my heart aches for your parents,brother and other family members now that you are no longer with us. A senseless violent act took you away from your loving family. Why?? I see the pain etched on your families faces and my heart goes out to them. I have grown up sons of my own and cannot imagine what life would be like without them. I urge everyone to speak up if they know anything about who carried out this meaningless cowardly act. Rest in peace little one and know that you were greatly loved and will be sadly missed
my thoughts and prayers are with all the family.x
What a sad loss, our thoughts and prayers are with your family, could never imagine what it must be like to loose one as little as you. May you shine in heaven. Memories of you are your families to treasure. x

Football is a strength. I am involved with working with people who's lives have been wrecked. Football is the catalyst to enable people to re-build their lives. Everton are a superb community club, but not all clubs are!! And there is always room for improvement. I'd like the clubs to have included in their contracts a commitment by the players to visit local schools, community centres etc, at least weekly. We need to reach to all in our community - football is one of the few vehicles that can achieve this. We must engage with all in our society, to attempt to erase such atrocities. Rhys's family have been a credit to us all; they give eternal hope amidst the sadness etched in our hearts. Their memories of Rhys are for ever......Peace, Love and Justice!! Joe K, Bury, Lancashire
i c your face everywhere just 11years old so sadly taken from the poeple who love u so much,rip 4ever my thoughts r with your family,
I didnt know you but i was touched by your story and jus cant understand why anyone could take you away from your family. My thoughts are with your family and you in Heaven xxx
our heart goes out to all the family at this tragic time you r in our thoughts god bless to u all
Not a single day goes by when I dont think of Rhys and how you as a family are coping. I think that you are a strong family and have very high morals and the interview last night every word you said was so true. It is down to the parents knowing were and what your children are upto. Your son is an inspiration to you and I hope that they get who did this and justice is served although nothing will help your suffering at such a terrible crime on a innocent baby. My thoughts and prayers are with you all xx
im a stranger to you and your family but have been hit very hard by the news of your little football mad life been taken away because of gang related voilence. i too grew up in an area with loads of street voilence reoccuring and have lost two people very very close to me through this type of behaviour. there is no excuse or explaination for this and no words that will comfort or help your family come to terms with your little life stolen away. the main reason behind this type of behaviour is nothing else apart from status and the reason guns, knifes and other weapons are being used so frequently is becasue there is a lighter sentence for this then there is for giving a bit of stick to a policeman. my heart goes out to your family and you will forever be in my thoughts. you were such a young boy with such a big heart and a huge life ahead of him and im sorry to see you go. look after your family from up there and im sure they will see you ever night becasue you will definately be the brightest star up there. rest in peace dear little angel. xxxx
My thoughts are with you and your family. I hope you are at peace now and dont feel anything apart from happiness. My thoughts are with your family at this sad time to. Love Kirsty xxxxx
God bless, sleep well you didnt deserve this at all. love emma
