He was sports mad - a fervent Liverpool supporter and played soccer with the Lurgan Celtic grassroots team who provided a Guard of Honour for his funeral.

He loved his Play Station and he also loved reading. His favourite author was David Walliams.

A boy with lots of ambition, he wanted to be a marine biologist.

Callum’s little six-year-old brother James, his arm in a sling, joined other young children to help carry offertory gifts to the altar during the Requiem Mass.
