Colm Lynch O’Sullivan, who was in his 20s, passed away following a single-vehicle collision that occurred at Ballaghmore in Borris-In-Ossory.
His death notice on RIP.ie states that Colm, from Cloncoure, Ballaghmore, Laois / Roscrea, Tipperary, is survived by his parents Olive and Con, pre-deceased by his sister Grace and sadly missed by his brothers Brendan and Tómas, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, niece, extended family and all his friends.

His removal from his residence in Cloncourse on Monday morning will take place at 10.30am, arriving in St Molua’s Church, Ballaghmore for a funeral mass at 11am.
Colm’s burial will take place afterwards in the adjoining cemetery.
Meanwhile, tributes continue to flow to Colm, with one mourner saying that “Colm was a real gentleman and always so good humoured” and describing him as a “gentle soul”.
“Sincere sympathy to Con, Olive, Tòmas and Brendan on the tragic loss of Colm. Colm was a real gentleman and always so good humoured. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time. May Colm’s gentle soul rest in the arms of Jesus,” they said.
Another wrote: “Olive and Con, family and friends, we are so sorry to hear about Colm’s untimely death. There are no words for this tragedy. You are in our thoughts at this very difficult time. Rest in peace Colm, bed of heaven to you.”
“Sincere sympathy on the tragic loss of your darling son and brother Colm. There are no words of consolation to offer you at this terrible time but be assured you are in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace Colm and watch over all those whose hearts are broken on your tragic passing,” said another mourner.
On Thursday, local councillor John King said the whole community of Ballaghmore and the Roscrea area of Co Tipperary, where Mr O’Sullivan worked in his dad Con’s garage, was “in complete shock and heartbroken”.
“There is complete shock and sadness around,” said Cllr King. “The loss of a young life is horrendous for his heartbroken family and to the area as well.
“My deepest sympathies go to the young man’s family. It is not an easy time,” said Cllr King.
