A mother has paid tribute to her nine-year-old son who died after telling others he wished to be reunited with his late father. Emma Knight’s son Mckenzie Leon Gary Williamson was found unresponsive in his grandmother's home at Powell Street in Abertillery, Blaenau Gwent, on the evening of November 7, 2021, months after dad Gary had died.
Mckenzie later died at the University Hospital Wales in Cardiff on November 10 despite the best efforts of his grandmother, a neighbour, and emergency service workers to save him. Paying tribute to him following an inquest held last week, mum Emma Knight said on Tuesday: “Mammy’s little star. A life taken way too soon, ‘Kenzie was a bright boy who had his whole future ahead of him.
“He loved going out and talking or meeting new people and adored going to football. He has left a massive hole in our hearts that will never be filled. Nothing can bring him back now, if only people helped faster my boy would still be here today living the whole life he had ahead of him.
