Niall Greaney was the son of my first cousin Greta Greaney. He was born 10th June 1987. Yesterday, 8th June 2007, I attended his funeral.
Niall died as the result of injuries he received in an horrific car accident on Wednesday morning (Jun 6th) last.
Niall was full of life. At 19 he was already a well known sportsman and musician in his community.
His funeral yesterday was one of the biggest and most poignant I have ever attended.
To Niall’s parents Greta and John and his brother Sean and sister Linda, no words can adequately express the sorrow one feels at a time like this. You have my deepest sympathies.
Very sorry to hear that Tom. Such a waste of a talented young mans’ life. My condolences to your entire family.
Very sorry to hear this. How many more times do we have to go thru this?
It was such a pleasure to have known Niall and to have travelled to England a few years ago with Cregmore Soccer Club.He was always witty and his presence and personality would light up the room. An infectous smile and a gifted player who in no small way contibuted to us winning the competition,scoring 2 goals in the final. Memories forever Niall you are sadly missed by all who knew you but your spirit will live on.
went to school with him and he was always full of life.RIP
It still sends a shiver down my spine every time I remember what happened that awful night, I pray for all involved in that horrific incidient and I hope God can grant comfort to the Greaney family.
R.I.P. Niall, tfsbm
