A teenage girl cuddled her childhood sweetheart before his life support was switched off. Stephanie Ray, 15, had remained by Blake Ward’s bedside after the 16-year-old got into difficulty while swimming in the sea in Wales last Tuesday.
As a final goodbye, the devastated teen climbed into his hospital bed and gave him one last cuddle before he passed away.
Blake’s loved ones are raising money on GoFundMe to pay for his funeral. She posted the moving picture, used on the fundraising page, to her Facebook page on Saturday as she paid tribute to the “beautiful, brave, kind-hearted” boy.
Stephanie said: “Today has been the hardest day for me and it will be a day I will never be able to forget. As some of you may know Blake was involved in a terrible accident on Tuesday.
“I have been by his side through it all and I haven’t left him. “As you all know Blake was a loving a caring person and would do anything for anyone.
“We was told yesterday that Blake would never recover and his brain was to damaged and we had to make the hard decision of turning his machine off and let him go.”
The teen went on to say Blake was “someone special to her”, adding: “But just know Blake wasn’t in any pain and he passed away with his family around him and he will forever be missed and he will always have a special place in my heart and I will never forget you Blake fly high my baby boy and I’m gonna make you proud love you and I always will”.
