Funeral Mass Of Teen Killed In Road Crash This Week Told Of His Incredible Sportsmanship
14 year old Thomas Healy died when the car he was driving was involved in a single vehicle collision in County Kerry on Wednesday morning
A passenger, who was also in the car at the time, suffered serious injuries.
Thomas Healy's brother Danny says there were indications that Thomas would soon have been called up to play for Kerry:
"Thomas was the centre of our lives and the Healy schedule was always run on Thomas time. As you all know, Thomas was an all rounder who played Beaufort GAA and Killarney Athletic. We were only told this week that he was in line to wear the Kerry jersey. On top of this, he was able to adjust his schedule to fit in athletics and golf, which he was a total newcomer to, but already showed his natural ability and budding sportsmanship."
