In Loving Memory of Alfie Moran Forever loved. Forever remembered

Manchester

The Manchester community is heartbroken as it mourns the tragic and untimely loss of Alfie Moran, a bright and beloved 16-year-old whose life was cut short after he was struck by a car while crossing Kingsway in Burnage on the evening of January 2. What should have been an ordinary Friday night became a moment that forever altered the lives of his family, friends, classmates, and an entire community now united in grief.

Alfie was at an age filled with promise, curiosity, and dreams still unfolding. He was a young man with his whole life ahead of him—plans yet to be made, milestones yet to be reached, and memories still waiting to be created. His sudden passing has left a profound silence where laughter, youthful energy, and hope once lived, reminding everyone how fragile and precious life truly is.

To those who knew Alfie, he was more than just a teenager; he was a son deeply loved by his family, a loyal friend, and a familiar face whose presence brought comfort and joy. He was known for his warm heart, his easy smile, and the way he could make others feel seen and valued. Whether sharing jokes with friends, spending time with loved ones, or simply being himself, Alfie had a way of leaving a lasting impression on the people around him.

In the days following this devastating loss, tributes, flowers, and heartfelt messages have poured in—each one a reflection of the love and admiration so many had for Alfie. Streets have grown quieter, classrooms heavier, and conversations softer as the community struggles to come to terms with a life taken far too soon. Parents hold their children a little closer, friends lean on one another for support, and neighbors stand together, bound by shared sorrow.

There are no words that can ease the pain felt by Alfie’s family, who now face an unimaginable grief. Yet the outpouring of love from Manchester serves as a reminder that they are not alone. The community grieves with them, offering strength, compassion, and solidarity during this darkest of times.

As Manchester reflects on this heartbreaking tragedy, it also honors Alfie’s life—not by focusing on the moment it ended, but by remembering the joy, kindness, and light he brought into the world. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him, in shared stories and laughter, and in the quiet moments when he is thought of with love.

May Alfie Moran rest in eternal peace. May his family and friends find comfort in cherished memories and in the knowledge that he was deeply loved. And may his life, though heartbreakingly brief, continue to shine through the countless lives he touched.

Forever 16. Forever loved. Forever remembered. 🕊️
