Little Noah Woods was just 3 years old.

.

On Tuesday afternoon, he was at a playground in Brantham, Suffolk, when he became separated from a relative.

More than 1,300 people from the village and beyond joined the search for the little boy, who was non-verbal and partially deaf.

The following day, heartbreaking news emerged: Noah had been found.

His daddy Rhys wrote:

“Noah was the sweetest & most innocent little boy, with nothing but love to give, & we are going to miss him so very much.

It has been a privilege to be your parents & be able to have packed so much love in the short three years you were with us.

Noah, you will be loved forever. You will never be forgotten.”

Rest easy, beautiful boy. 🕊️🤍
