Mourners told father-of-four who died in horrific road crash in Co Armagh was 'a constant support to his family'
The funeral of a man who died in Saturday’s horrific road crash in Co Armagh has heard he lived for his family and his four children.
Father-of-four Conor Quinn, aged 31, of Derrylaughan Road, Coalisland, was one of three people to lose their lives in the collision on the road between Moy and Armagh.
Mourners gathered at St Brigid’s Church, Brocagh, Clonoe, Co Tyrone, for his funeral including his parents Bernie and Hugh, and children Riley, Garry, Cathair and Turlough.
Rev Father John Gates, Parish Priest of Magherafelt, a relative of the deceased, who concelebrated Requiem Mass on Wednesday with Fr John McCallion, Parish Priest of St Brigid’s, said Conor was more than a dad to his children he was “their best friend.”
"He was constant support to his family. He loved his parents and they loved him,” he said.
"He was the life of every party and always strived to do his best.”
Symbols that represented Conor's life, including photos and a cap that he wore, were brought to the altar.
Fr Gates said Conor’s sudden and tragic death at such a young age had been a “very dark day for all of you” as well as the wider community.
He told mourners that their memories of the love and laughter they shared with Conor in the past would sustain them in the weeks and months ahead.
Fr Gates asked everyone to keep the Quinn and Gates families in their prayers.
The funeral for mother-of-one Laura Hoy-Henry, aged 23, of Ballinderry Bridge Road, Cookstown, will be held in Holy Trinity Church, Cookstown on Thursday.
