The devastated family of tragically killed Eoghan Byrne heard at his heartbreaking funeral that he was a “gentleman” who was “so happy in his final days” but has been “robbed of his future”.

The Trinity College graduate’s remains were brought home at the weekend after he was hit as he crossed a road in Vancouver at 11.24pm local time on June 19.
