Midlands GAA club pay tribute to young star, David Brown who died tragically following quad accident

A leading Midlands GAA Club has paid tribute to the late David Brown who died on Easter Sunday in an accident.

In a tribute on facebook Portlaoise GAA club said, "We are heartbroken beyond words. David was one of our very best and brightest. In football and in hurling. For club and for county.

"Vibrant, fearless, skilful, determined, proud - a shining star on every team he played for. Brilliant attitude and manners, always respectful to his coaches and his teammates, always willing to listen and to learn.

"Already a hero in the eyes of so many of our youngest, David was a cast iron prospect for the future of our senior teams. It is difficult to process this. We will do our best to support each other over the times ahead.

"James, Carmel, Conor, Sarah - we are so sorry for your immense loss. We share your profound grief. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you and the extended Brown and Maloney families.

"To David’s many friends, team-mates, coaches, parents of friends…please stay close and connected over the coming days.
RIP David. Forever young. Forever a Star."
