Heartbroken family and friends have described a "fearless and fun" 22-year-old following his sudden death.

Harry Ivell, from Snodland, took his own life on Friday, August 26.

The "jack-of-all-trades" worked at a fencing company and lived with his mum and brother, Jack.

His sister, Zoe Ivell, said: "It was always fun when Harry was around.

"I will miss his laugh and smile. He was fearless, always up for a laugh and going on adventures."

The former Rowhill School pupil was described to be "obsessed with drum and bass" and loved going out to raves as well as festivals.

Harry struggled with learning difficulties when he was younger, and suffered from ADHD and dyslexia.

A vigil was held for Harry earlier this month, where friends and family paid their respects and said farewell as they let off balloons into the sky.

Zoe said: "It was sweet and touching. At the moment it doesn't feel real and the whole thing is very hard to process.

"People have been coming to my mum's and the amount of flowers we have been given – I've never seen so many, we have eight buckets."

She added: "There was a book put out the day after his passing and it's nearly full, all his friends have come and written something for him.

"It's just beautiful the amount of people that he touched and was loved by."

Harry's loved ones are now raising money for his funeral and for mental health charity MIND.

Friend Ashleigh Carmody said: "Harry Ivell felt as if the only way to end his pain was to end his life.

"He was 22 years old, he was the life and soul of any party – he never failed to make you smile and was loved by so many.

"His family are, as you can imagine, in complete shock and completely devastated, lost and heartbroken and everything in between."

The GoFundMe page has already raised nearly £2,000 and any excess funds will go to charity MIND.

Harry's funeral will be held on Friday, September 16, at 10.15am in Vinters Park, Maidstone.
