'It all happened so quickly. He's literally just opened the door, gone outside, picked his bike up, fallen and then he's gone, forever. It's just awful. 'They are all in complete shock and Kayleigh's not really spoken. The love a mother has for a son - she's not accepted it yet and they can't quite believe it's happened. Nothing seems real at the moment.'Harrison was a typical boy. He was a little fiery redhead, a cheeky chappy with a very big character and was very soft, very loving.'He loved his family and adored his big sisters. He'd constantly be play-fighting with Sienna, and Eira was like a second mum to him.'Mrs Jones said Harrison was a bike enthusiast and enjoyed going on Sundays with his family to the dirt bike track or to play at the nearby Pen Y Bryn Park. 'He also loved listening to music,' she added. 'His favourite song was Beat It by Michael Jackson. People are always going to say this about their own little boy and their own family, but he was genuinely just a happy boy who didn't ask for much. 'Daryl felt Harrison had his whole life ahead of him and they had a tick list of everything they wanted to do.'He worked so hard to give his family everything. They don't have much, but the children wanted for nothing.'It has broken Daryl's heart that he won't get to watch him grow up, hear his laughter, or see the little man he would have become.'The family had also recently enjoyed their first trip abroad to Turkey over the summer holidays. While staying at a hotel, Daryl ended up saving someone's life after they got into difficulties in the swimming pool. Harrison was described by relative Kate Jones as 'the little boy with the big heart''Harrison had been so proud, he went around saying 'my dad's a hero.' So we've been telling him, just remember you were Harrison's hero.'After the two girls, Daryl and Kayleigh had desperately wanted a boy and they felt really lucky to have him. For Sienna and Eira he was the beloved little brother. Harrison was so loved'.On Friday, flowers and soft toys were left close to the scene in tribute to the youngster, as police continued to investigate the incident. A message from The Llanfair Arms on Facebook said: 'Today, our little village has been left heartbroken by the devastating loss of a very special little boy.'He was a little boy so many of us knew, and loved, and our thoughts are with his family, friends and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him at this unimaginably painful time.'There really are no words that can make sense of a tragedy like this. As a village, we are all feeling the loss, and our hearts are with his family as they face the days ahead.'Detective Inspector Tim Evans of the North Wales Police Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: 'Our thoughts are first and foremost with the child's family and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time.
