JK Brackens GAA Club shared, “Joshua, who was just 6 years old, was a sports fanatic who loved JK Brackens, Tipperary and Liverpool. He was a member of our U7 hurling and football group and trained weekly in the park and he loved attending blitzes with his friends.
“Just last week Joshua attended the club Cul Camp and enjoyed every minute. Joshua was a beautiful, happy boy with a huge smile who endeared himself to everyone he met.
“We express our sympathy to his parents Jennifer & Lorcan, his brother Shane, his grandparents Joe & Ellen O’ Connor and Declan Reilly, his extended family and his many friends in St. Joseph’s Primary School.
