Myron’s grief-stricken mum Sarah Davies shared a moving video montage of the 15-year-old on Facebook.
She wrote in a touching tribute: “My baby Myron I will always love u and I miss u so much I love u baby boy.”
His devastated dad Paul added: “To my beloved son I will cherish all of our time together the last 10 years have been a blessing.
“I will never forget you. I will think about you everyday.”
And his sister Jasmin said: “To my best friend and beloved brother I will miss you forever I will see you again goodbye my brother.”
The community has rallied around the Davies family, launching a GoFundMe page to help raise cash for Myron’s funeral.
The fundraiser has already received a whopping £4,500 in donations.
A balloon release has also been planned for Wednesday night in the local area to celebrate the 15-year-old’s life.
Yet Myron’s friends have been warned not to gather at the fateful spot for any remembrance event “for obvious safety reasons”.
Headteacher at Abersychan School Phil Collins told parents: “We have spoken with the police and family members and urge pupils, parents, and the local community not to gather at the top of the quarry for any remembrance gatherings for obvious safety reasons.
“We continue to work alongside the local authority to provide support for pupils and staff.
“An incident of this nature is certain to raise many emotions, especially within our pupils.”
