The family of a cheeky two-year-old boy is struggling to cope following his sudden death last week.

Noah Kelley, who was a dinosaurs-loving boy with an infectious personality, died some time between Sunday night and Monday morning last week in their Mount Duneed home near Geelong.

His parents Jacqui and Matt Kelley made the horrific discovery when they went to wake him for childcare on Monday.

Natasha Walta, a friend of Noah’s mother, told Yahoo7 News, the family was suffering ‘unimaginable heartbreak’ after losing their little boy.

‘He went to bed fit and well on Sunday night and didn’t wake up on Monday,’ she said.

The cause of death is not yet known. The family is awaiting autopsy results.

Ms Walta described Noah as a bubbly little boy with a passion for football.

He was full of zest, with a cheekiness to him, she said.

‘Even if they didn’t know him, he would attract people. They’d come up and just talk to him,’ she said.

Ms Walta has set up a GoFundMe page, where about $38,000 has been raised to support the family.

They will celebrate Noah’s life in a Wiggles-themed funeral this week, the page stated.
