The father of a boy who is believed to have died after being struck by lightning has paid a heartfelt tribute to his son – and revealed the nine-year-old is an organ donor.
In a Facebook post, Matt Banks said that “the kindness of his son Jordan has kept 3 other children alive.”
“He always told us he wanted to be able to help other people if he could, so he was a donor and he made a donation that we know was what he wanted” , added Mr Banks.
The Liverpool fan died Tuesday following an incident on a football field Blackpool.
Police were called to fields near School Road after learning that a child had been injured – but he died shortly after being taken to hospital.
Mr Banks then described Jordan as the “most amazing” person with the “biggest heart”.
“If I could ever ask for a perfect kid, it was Jordan,” Mr. Banks said on Facebook.
“He always made sure he looked trendy and liked his outfit. His favorite t-shirt was his Cobra Kai top, obsessed with Cobra Kai.”
He added, “Not only did I lose my baby boy, I lost my little best mate, we would sit and talk for hours about his future.”
Along with the post, Mr Banks also posted a series of photos of his son.
In one separate tribute of his family on Wednesday, Jordan was described as a “handsome boy”.
