A YOUNG family have been left heartbroken after the sudden death of their 18-month-old son – just days after Christmas.
Tiny Tot Ezra Goodjohn, of Stannington, Sheffield, had been celebrating the festive period with his family.
The youngster started to feel unwell a few days after Christmas and was rushed to hospital on December 28. A few hours later he died.
His heartbroken mum Emma, dad Ryan, and sister Isla are struggling to come to terms with the loss of their little boy and brother.
It has not been confirm what he died of but it is believed he may have developed sepsis, according to the Sheffield Star.
Friends and loved ones have since rallied around the devastated family, setting up a fundraising page in the youngster’s memory.
In just two days the page raised more than £6,000 with donation continuing to pour in.
Close friend Ben Evans, who created the page, said: “Ezra touched the lives of so many with his cheeky personality and playful nature. Ezra was a big part of the Goodjohn family and to say he will be missed is an understatement.
“As close friends of the family we have set this page up to help raise money to support the family through this very difficult time.
“We are aware that nothing we can do will help ease their pain but we feel that by financially supporting them it will help them in the short term so they can continue to be the loving family that they are.”
