An online fundraising page has been set up to support the family, and it has so far raised more than £2,000.
The page said: “As you are all aware, this is a very hard time for the family and as a community I thought we could come together and help take some of the stress off, no matter how small it is in the severity of things.
“Rest easy boys, you were loved by many.”
