Harvey was fatally knifed at All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield on February 3. The death of the Sheffield United fan shocked the city to its core and left friends and family heartbroken. After their son's death, Harvey's parents Caroline and Mark Willgoose released a statement which said: "We are utterly heartbroken at the loss of our beautiful boy, 'Harvey Goose'.

"Our lives are devastated and will never be the same again. "We have lost a beloved son, brother, grandson, cousin, nephew and, most importantly, a best friend to all. "Harvey will be forever known for being a caring, loving and funny young man.". A 15-year-old boy, who legally can't be named, appeared at Sheffield Crown Court earlier this month charged with murder.
