Mitchel died tragically after being shot in the eye with an airgun pellet.
Mitchel, who went to Holden High School in Sneyd Green, was a beautiful, intelligent young boy.
We have lost a kind and caring son.He and his brother Lewis, seven, thought the world of each other. There is now a massive gap in all of our lives.
Mitchel, from Baddeley Green Lane in Baddeley Green, was a Port Vale fan and a keen sports player.
The 12-year-old had played a season for Newcastle Town FC where he was chosen as the manager's player of the year.
I didnt know you when i first came to Holden Lane, but i would have liked to. I have heard so many good stories about your high school life and its a shame that no more can be told. R.I.P Mitchel.

Mitch...
Mitch....the 12th of august...you sat there talking to me...you told me to look after myself whilst on holiday...hugged me...gave me that special feeling that i always got when i was with you...my week away and then when i got home on the 19th you'd gone. When i got the call no matter of words could describe the feelings that filled my mind and my heart. I was then all alone in this huge world. Everthing stopped and all the memories i had of us together suddenly became my life. They were all i thought about for weeks on end. Having to break the news to others was what hurt me the most...having to tell them that their most precious friend had been cruelly unecessarily snatched from them. The funeral was the hardest day ive ever faced but i came out smiling after seeing so many there to see you off to a better place. I missed you on my birthday...3 months exactly... and i missed your little call to wish me happy birthday. I'd always imagined my 13th to be spent with you...my special one with my special friend. No-one will ever replace what you mean to me and i will never feel for anyone how i've felt for you. This is the first time i've properly let it all out and i just really want you to know how much i'm missing you and that our lives will never be the same. We'll especially miss you this Christmas. Mitchel Picken - My precious Hero Tragically Snatched From Me Now Resting In The Safe Arms Of Jesus - Too young...too young xxx R.I.P Until we are reunited...You are my life
May God give you strength
I am filled with grief.
I can not even imagine what Andrew, Joanne and Lewis must be going through.
May God give you strength to face each new day.
so sorry
I have a 12 yr old son and cannot imagine how you must be dealing with this terrible tragedy. Mitchel looked like a real lovely lad and I only hope that you find peace and some degree of comfort in all the fantastic memories that I amsure he has left behind
My Little Boy
