Tragedy for the Loughnane Family
Ger Loughnane’s youngest son Conor has sadly passed away
Many of us in Clare remember the 90’s fondly for one reason and one man, that man was Ger Loughnane and that reason was his great hurling team, Ger gave us so so much, he gave us wild summers of fun, he gave many of us belief that against any odds we could succeed and above all he gave us a great sense of pride in our County.
Many images will remain vivid for us from the great 90’s but one that sticks out in our heads today is sight of Ger Loughnane’s two sons Barry and Conor flying across pitches delivering water bottles and instructions to players and foe, Conor in particular stood out with his flowing locks and his cherub features but he was a demon to deliver an instruction to a player.
Today Conor’s many many friends have been paying wonderful tributes for him on social media and other outlets, there is clearly a huge sense of loss and shock at his passing.
Sadly life has been challenging for Conor in recent years, Conor was loved, Conor will be missed and to all that knew and loved him we offer our deepest sympathies at this terrible terrible time
Ger and family the people of Clare stand with you at this time
Rest in Peace Conor, always loved and always missed
To everyone please Remember its good to talk. Raising awareness can be the 1st step to preventing suicide. Keep an eye on friends family or neighbor’s living alone . Mind our youth. Check up on them and let them know you care.
