The family of a 16-year-old who died after going missing in a pool at Sutton Park have paid tribute to a 'handsome, funny and talented boy
Daniel Drewitt's body was found in Powell's Pool on Thursday evening (July 10).
Tributes had already been paid by his school in Rednall and his junior football teams Northfield Town FC and Bromsgrove AFC and a GoFundMe page set up to help with funeral costs.
His family released pictures last night (Saturday) showing him before his prom night and playing football.
In a statement they said: "Daniel was a handsome, funny and talented boy who really cared about his friends and family.
"Everyone wanted to be his friend and he was popular because of the beautiful spirit he had.
"Daniel was a big Birmingham City Football Club fan and would love going to the games with his grandad and friends.
"He had so many dreams and aspirations, and he had his whole life ahead of him.
"He has been taken from us way too soon and we still can't process what is happening right now.
"His family and friends are all devastated from this awful tragedy, and this will forever leave an everlasting pain in all of our hearts.
"We cannot put into words how much we will miss him and his cheeky smile.
They thanked the community for all the kind messages of love and support and continued: " It has given us all comfort knowing just how loved he was by so many people and shows they all saw what we saw in him.
"Sweet dreams our beautiful boy. We know we will still see you every night. You will be the brightest star in the sky."
A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "We are continuing to support Daniel’s family at this tragic time. His death is not being treated as suspicious and we are liaising with the coroner."
