Carnaby Deaths: Family Pay Tribute To Tragic Teens

The families of Cherish Bean and Ethan Slater, who tragically died at a holiday park near Bridlington have paid tribute to both teenagers. 

In tribute to Cherish, her mum said:

“My girl, my world, my love, my everything.  

“My perfect girl, my angel, has left this world and we are broken as a family. I am broken as a mother, and I will never ever be the same again. 

“If you know me, I live and breathe my babies, and we were away for a few nights making the best memories ever. We have had the best life together and it has been ripped from under us.  

“There are no words, I am shattered and will never recover. Hug your children tonight you do not know how lucky you are.  

“Ethan, bless you darling, such a good boy with a kind heart and I loved you like my own.  

“I am broken please respect us whilst we grieve.”

Paying tribute to Ethan, his mum said:

“Ethan was the most beautiful young man to walk the earth. He was generous, loving, charming and kind. 

“He would help anyone and was a strong family man. He took care of himself and loved his Mum, Stepdad, brothers and sister. 

“There’s not one person who would dislike him even if they tried. His smile was contagious, and he could light up any room he walked into. 

“Ethan, you will always be remembered for the amazing young man you were, and the one you were destined to be. We hope you know how loved you are our boy, rest well and keep the table warm for us up there. 

“Cherish was the apple of Ethan’s eye, everyone could see how smitten they both were. She was beautiful, elegant, and made Ethan happy. We know you will keep each other young and safe. 

“Look after each other. Rest in peace.” 

Ethan’s dad added: 

“I am a broken man without you son. I will love you eternally my boy. You were taken way too soon from me. Love you always.”  

Humberside Police added:

'Our thoughts remain with the families of both teenagers, who are being supported by specially trained officers at this incredibly difficult time. Both families have asked that people respect their right to privacy at this extremely difficult and distressing time.'
