"Seresin described her son as her 'prince of light'. 'He was kind, bright, feisty, tricky at times, as most young men are, but fundamentally full of compassion and curiosity,' she said. 'He had friends from every colour, creed, nation and class. Everyone who met him fell in love with him.'"
"'If you wanted help, he was there in a minute,' Sullivan said. 'He believed in doing to others as you would have done to yourself. He believed in manners. He was a very loving, gentle person.'"
"'For me, I position it more as a demonstration for love against hate, against knife crime,' he said. 'It was a beautiful indication of how loved he was.'"
"'He was very much of his generation,' she said. 'They just went out and made movies. They weren't waiting for the money man or the producer. They were go-getters.'"
