Mitchell Norris could light up every room, now he’s lighting up the sky.

That was part of a poignant message Tracy Kilday shared about her 14-year-old son.

Mitchell died in hospital following an ATV roller on a private property at Bungundarra on the Capricorn Coast on Friday.

Ms Kilday prefaced her touching tribute about ‘Mitchy’ with the words: “A post we never wanted to share.

“We lost our beautiful boy Friday evening after a tragic accident.

“Everyone who met loved him instantly.

“We are broken … thank you for 14 years of love and laughter. Things just won’t be the same ever again.”

Mitchell was one of two St Brendan’s College students to lose their lives in the space of three days.

Eli Kent died on Sunday after a brave battle with cancer.

The school issued a statement on Monday, saying the two boys were much-loved members of the community and both would be missed.

Mitchell was a popular member of the Capricorn Coast Football Club.

Kerry Gray, a former president of the club is now Football Queensland Central Region operations manager.

She said FQ Central was deeply saddened by Mitchell’s sudden passing.

“Mitchell was a loved and respected member of the Capricorn Coast Football Club under-15/16 White team and will be remembered for his positive energy and smile he always wore around the club,” she said.

“FQ Central extends our deepest condolences to the Norris family and loved ones.”
