A rural cemetery was filled with grief as the family and friends of Wojciech Panek laid his ashes to rest in Calvary Cemetery, on the edge of the medieval village of Graiguenamanagh, Co Kilkenny on Friday.
Wojeich was one of three teenagers who died when the car they were in went off Menlo Pier located on the river Corrib on the outskirts of Galway city at around 2.40am last Saturday.
Nestled beneath the Blackstairs mountains, his ashes were gently placed in his final resting place just metres from his home in Cois Na Bearu, by his grief stricken mother Katarzyna, father Grzegoz and younger sister Viktoria.
