The funeral of Kayden Moy, who died after being allegedly stabbed on a beach in North Ayrshire, will take place on Friday.
The 16-year-old from East Kilbride was found seriously injured on Irvine beach around 6.45pm on Saturday, May 17.
He received medical care at the scene but died in hospital the following day.
Following his death, Kayden’s dad, Paul Moy, shared a tribute to his son on social media, saying: “My first born son, my big boy, my best friend, my main man, my everything. Rest easy, my boy.”
The teenager was described as a “kind and caring young man” by Duncanrig Secondary School headteacher Annette Alexander, where Kayden was a former pupil.
A service for the teenager will take place at the Linn Crematorium in Glasgow on Friday at 10am before moving on to Philipshill Cemetery in East Kilbride.
Kayden’s former football team, Busby AFC, shared the details of his funeral in a Facebook post.
The football team paid tribute to the “bright, kind and talented” teen and invited family and friends of the club community to attend and celebrate Kayden’s life.
A club spokesperson said: “His passing is felt deeply by everyone connected to our community.
“We’re keeping Paul, Ashley, Danny, the boys, and everyone who loved Kayden in our thoughts and prayers as they go through this tough time.”
Three teenagers, two aged 17 and one aged 14, have been charged with Kayden’s murder.
