In a heartfelt tribute, Jay Slater’s mother transforms his favorite clothes into cushions following his untimely death in Tenerife
Oswaldtwistle: Jay Slater’s mum, Debbie, has turned his favorite clothes into cushions after his tragic passing in Tenerife. It’s such a touching way to keep his memory alive.
Jay, just 19, went missing during a music festival in June. After a huge search effort, his remains were found near Masca. Sadly, he died from injuries consistent with a fall.
Debbie and family traveled to Tenerife to help with the search, which gained a lot of attention online. It was a tough time for everyone involved, and they faced a lot of speculation.
His funeral in Accrington was attended by around 500 people, many watching on an outdoor screen. Now, the cushions made from his clothes are a beautiful reminder of him.
A local group, ‘Homemade With Love Oswaldtwistle,’ shared a heartfelt post about making the cushions. They added personalized memory patches to each one, which is such a sweet touch.
Before closing, Jay’s GoFundMe raised over £72,000 to support the search and his family’s stay in Tenerife. They expressed gratitude for the help they received during such a difficult time.
In their final message, Jay’s family thanked everyone for their support and shared how they were able to give him a proper send-off. They acknowledged the ongoing journey of grief they face.
