THE family of drowning victim Antwun Crow have honoured their son during a funeral in Toowoomba yesterday.
Mourners packed the HumeRidge church in Kearney's Spring to farewell the "bubbly and affectionate" four-year-old who was found drowned in a Sunshine Coast Creek on January 8.
Balloons were released following the service including balloons shaped like Antwun's favourite character, Finding Nemo.
Antwun's parents Ben and Antoinette Crow thanked the Toowoomba community with $10,295 raised to help the family cover the cost of the funeral.
Kat Plint, founder of child drowning prevention organisation Hannah's Foundation, said the public's support was one positive from what has been a difficult time for Antwun's family.
"Antwun's family have been completely overwhelmed by the support they have received," Mrs Plint said.
"Losing a child is a very challenging moment for families and any help can make a significant difference.
"The Crow family have allocated some of the money raised to support the work done by Hannah's Foundation to raise awareness for prevention of child drowning."
