Max's parents, Tom and Jessica Redden, who have been to distressed to speak to the media about the accident, used a personal notice in Saturday's Advertiser to tell of their love for their "little Maxy boy" - an energetic six-and-a-half-year-old with a cheeky smile. "It has been an absolute joy to watch you grow," the personal notice read. We have been privileged to have been your parents for 6 1/2 fun-filled years. We will miss your cheeky smile, your nonstop energy, being that last one ready for school in the morning or the highest one up the tree. We love you darling boy.

The tragedy of the event was noted in one personal notice, which read: "No words can adequately express the grief we share with you and the total and utter senselessness of it all."
