He asked for space and time to process the grief as a family and said funeral details would be shared later down the line.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, for now. Please give us space. Thank you for all you have done,\u201d said Mr Young.<\/p>\n
The heartbroken dad previously told KentOnline his son works as a handyman and on the day he disappeared he had told his partner, who is pregnant, that he needed to pop out and do a few things, but that he loved her and would be home after.<\/p>\n
From there he just \u201ccompletely vanished,” the dad-of-four said.<\/p>\n
He had described his son as \u201camazing and respectful\u201d and how during his last chats he had been positive about the future.<\/p>\n
A police spokesman said the death was not being treated as suspicious and a report would be prepared for the coroner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The body of a much-loved son has been found in woodland, over a week after he was reported…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5025,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,192,191,3046,50,56,54,55,3045],"class_list":{"0":"post-5024","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-kingdom","8":"tag-gb","9":"tag-great-britain","10":"tag-greatbritain","11":"tag-human-interest","12":"tag-kent","13":"tag-missing-person","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-unitedkingdom","18":"tag-weald"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5024\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
