The GoFundMe page said: "Over the last six weeks, the support and kindness from the Retford community and beyond, for the family of Jacob Crompton has been overwhelming. In recent days, our little town has been devastated by the heartbreaking news that Jacob's body has tragically been found in the river.

"Jacob had so many plans for his future, and he was working so hard to realise these dreams. Jacob was a kindhearted, loving, cheeky chappie who was so very loved by his family, friends and colleagues, and the void left by Jacob's passing is vast.

"There are no words that can adequately express the pain and anguish that is felt by Jacob's Mum, Dad, siblings and extended family. No parent should have to suffer the grief of losing a child, it's every parent's worst nightmare, and financially, no parent plans to pay for their child's funeral."
