A young man from Galway who died tragically in Australia will be laid to rest today.
Kevin Ruane, from Ballybrit, died suddenly in Perth earlier this year.
A fundraising page was set up in his honour for his repatriation which has raised over €86,000.
Kevin is sadly missed by his parents John and Kathleen who are natives of Balla and Achill respectively.
He is survived also by his sister Aisling, extended family and friends.
Kevin’s Funeral Mass will take place today at 12 noon in St. Cronan’s Church, Balla, and he will be buried afterwards in the New Cemetery.
His mass will be live streamed on www.churchtv.ie/balla
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
