A FAMILY is in mourning following their three-year-old son's death from meningitis.
Tyran Brown died from meningococcal septicaemia after he was taken ill just over a week ago at his home in North Road, Loftus.
Tyran was taken first to the James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough, where doctors warned his condition was critical. He was transferred to Newcastle General Hospital where he suffered kidney failure and a heart attack.
His mother, Janice Brown, who has nine other children, said: "I miss him to bits. He was very loving. He was always telling us 'I love you' and 'you're pretty'. He had a lot of love, and loved to give."
His funeral will be held at St Leonard's Church, Loftus, tomorrow.
