A child killed in Tasmania’s jumping castle tragedy has been remembered for his sense of humour and mischievous smile.
Jye Max Sheehan, 12, is the second child to be farewelled after he was killed in the freak accident on December 16.
Jye's coffin had a soccer ball placed with it because he loved the sport so much and idolised Lionel Messi. Picture: Supplied Jye’s cousin spoke on behalf of the boy’s father Glenn who was in intensive care and unable to attend. Sarah Sheehan teared up during her farewell to Jye, saying his death was a sad loss for the entire family.
A slide show was played at the end of the service, showing images of Jye as a baby, with his brother, with his pet dog and his soccer teams.
