When Jevon Hirst, Harvey Owen, Wilf Henderson, and Hugo Morris embarked on a camping trip in Snowdonia, North Wales, they were just looking forward to a fun getaway with their friends. Unfortunately, things took a tragic turn.
On Sunday, the boys said their goodbyes to their families before setting off on their adventure. However, as time passed and they didn’t return, their families grew worried. They reported the boys as missing, and a massive search effort was launched.
After 48 hours of searching, the authorities made a devastating discovery. An overturned car, partially submerged in water, held the lifeless bodies of the four young men. North Wales police stated that it appeared to be a tragic accident.
The vehicle had veered off the road in the village of Gareg, leaving the boys trapped inside for two days until they were found. The news shook their families to the core. Owen’s mother, Crystal, expressed her anguish in a heartfelt Facebook post, feeling like she was trapped in a never-ending nightmare.
The loss of a child is an unimaginable pain, and no amount of kind messages can ease the grief. Crystal announced that she would need to temporarily close her business, as the thought of work without her son weighed heavily on her.
Owen’s mother was unaware of his camping trip due to the winter weather conditions. She believed he had stayed at a friend’s house. Henderson’s girlfriend’s mother, Lisa Corfield, shared that the boys were not experienced campers and had only packed the bare necessities for their overnight stay.
Describing Henderson as a kind young lad, Corfield expressed her heartbreak for her daughter and all those who lost someone in the tragedy. She thanked Henderson for bringing happiness into her daughter’s life and promised to take care of her from now on.
The loss of these young men has touched the hearts of many, and tributes have poured in from friends, family, and acquaintances. People from all walks of life have offered their thoughts and prayers to the grieving families, hoping they find strength during this difficult time. Let us remember these boys and cherish the time we have with our loved ones.
