Ben Holmes, aged 15, collapsed unexpectedly at his home and was rushed to Sheffield Children's Hospital where he died a few days later.
His parents and younger brother are said to have been left devastated by the death of the Year 11 student from Mapplewell who was a pupil at Darton High School.
Headteacher Simon Hill said the whole school was in mourning.
"He didn't have an illness or any kind of condition - his death is a mystery," he told The Star.
"He was clearly a wonderful son and this has come out of the blue. His parents are being brave as are the rest of the family."
Ben was a keen guitarist who loved music.
One teacher said Ben had a 'buzz for life' and was hard working, considerate and happy.
A memorial service is to be held at the school and will involve Ben's classmates and close friends who will read and play the music he loved.
