Hotel stampede victim Connor Currie was a 'courteous and appreciative student' with 'an infectious smile', funeral hears
The youngest victim of the tragic hotel stampede was remembered as a "courteous and appreciative student" as he was laid to rest today.
Chief celebrant Father Kevin Donaghy, parish priest of Dungannon said: "Friends have recalled how he lit up a room as he entered it and his infectious smile warmed everyone’s hearts. "Unlike the usual reputation of teenage boys he was quite fussy about the tidiness of his room, the wardrobe hangers well used and clothes neatly folded in the drawer, no clutter in the room and everything in its place. He knew he was loved at home – as his parents said to me 'he was a gem'.
