Family tribute to 5-year-old Shane Junior Bartlett

Five-year-old Shane Junior Bartlett sadly died in Poole Hospital after he was in collision with a black Vauxhall Corsa as he crossed Naseby Road on the afternoon of 13 December.

Shane’s family has issued the following statement: “Sadly our son Shane Junior Bartlett was taken from us on 13 December. Our bright, happy, cheeky, loving child had the most beautiful smile and would brighten up your day, which would brighten up everyone else’s life every day.

“He will be missed by so many people, especially mummy and daddy.

“He has left a hole that will never be filled, and his twin has lost his partner and best friend. His brothers and sister are so empty without that smile from Shane Junior.

“The family would like to say thank you for everyone’s support and donations, and Winton Primary School for their help through this difficult time. No words can describe how grateful we are.

“We now ask that our family is left in peace and privacy at this time to grieve for the loss of our baby.”
