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.”
