RIP Liam Dunne
Shock and heartbreak has rippled through communities as a young man has died suddenly, breaking the hearts of everyone who knew and loved him.
Liam Dunne from Roscommon died suddenly on the September 2nd 2025.
He was the cherished son of Róisín and Gary, and much-loved twin brother of Rory and loving brother of Clara. He will be forever missed and lovingly remembered by his family, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and his wide circle of friends.
Liam will also be remembered for his passion for sport, especially soccer, and for his wonderful sense of humour that brought joy to all who knew him.
Liam's school has made an emotional tribute following his devastating death that includes: "Liam was more than just a student in our corridors – he was a vibrant presence who brought warmth and joy to our school community. Whether it was his infectious smile in the hallways, his contributions in the classroom, or the way he connected with both peers and teachers,
"Liam had a unique ability to make those around him feel valued and appreciated. Those who knew Liam will remember his kindness and the genuine care he showed for others. He embodied the values that CBS Roscommon strives to instill in all our students, demonstrating respect, compassion, and a zest for life that was truly inspiring.
"As we mourn this tremendous loss, we also celebrate the positive impact Liam had on our school community".
His sudden departure leaves a void that will never be filled, but his memory will live on in the hearts of everyone who loved him.
