She wrote: "This morning my whole world came crashing down around me. The love of my life, my best friend, my son Leon passed away during the night.
"Leon Brown I have never felt heartbreak like this before, I love you so much that you’ll ever get to know and will never stop missing you my little angel boy."
The youngster was described as a "kind, thoughtful and loved wee lad" by friends and family.
Lauryn has now asked football fans to get behind a round of applause for Celtic fan Leon, during the 14th minute of the Old Firm match on Saturday so he will be "14 forever".
She said: "We have arranged a clap for Leon on the 14th minute of the game on Saturday.
"Liel Abada will be wearing a t-shirt with Leon’s picture underneath his top on the day. He is also going to get a Celtic top into Parkhead for the team to sign.
"We have arranged for Leon's picture to be shown during the game with a wee message on the big screen.
"Forever 14."
