In a Facebook post, his heartbroken mum Liz Ryan said: "As you all know my Harry has passed away. I didn't know I could feel this many emotions, I've never felt so broken but proud of my baby boy. We did choose for Harry to be an organ donor so as it stands my baby is a hero. So as he grew up wishing to be a superhero my boy got exactly what he wanted."
His sister Molly Ryan said: "I’m so proud and broken at the same time. My Harry I’m so so proud of you."
Now, a number of bunches of flowers and a blue balloon with the number 13 on it have been left at the scene of the crash. A message on one bunch of flowers read "RIP Harry, gone far too soon. love from Michael, Kimberley and baby Teddy."
A police sign was also attached to a lamppost on the road asking for any witnesses to the crash to come forward.
