Fourteen-year-old Isaac Roxborough from the Burnfoot area had been riding the quad which was involved in a single-vehicle collision on the Ballygudden Road the previous day.

Ms Sugden said: “This is an unspeakable tragedy, one that will devastate Isaac’s family, particularly his parents and two brothers.

“The number of tributes that have been paid to Isaac online since his passing show just how loved he was and how valued he had already become within the local community as a member of various clubs and organisations.

“Losing someone so young is a heart-breaking, shattering thing to happen and experience to go through.”

Meanwhile Moneydig Young Conquerors Flute Band posted a tribute on social media: “Isaac had been a part of our band since he was a wee nipper, first as an enthusiastic cymbal player and over the last couple of years as a gifted side drummer, proudly parading alongside his dad Mark and brothers Adam and James.

"Always with a smile and a kind word for everyone, he will be fondly remembered by everyone associated with the band. Deepest condolences to Mark, Katrina and the family circle. Forever a Young Conqueror. Rest easy young Isaac. Safe in the arms of Jesus.”

There was also a tribute from Newtowne Football Club who posted: “It is with great sadness and regret that we have learned of the tragic passing of our ex-player Isaac Roxborough.
