RIP: Outpouring of grief following death of underage GAA coach in workplace accident

A number of communities have been plunged into mourning following the tragic death, after a workplace accident, of Adrian (Aidie) Sheridan from Toghernaross, Kilcogy, Co. Cavan.

Adrian, who died on Wednesday, June 19, is sadly missed by his heartbroken wife Gemma, children Olly, Jake, Danny, and Joey, parents Pat and Carmel, brother Paul (Pamela), sisters Tracy (Danny), Claire (Jim), Tricia (Ronan), Sarah (Mark), Mary (Brian), parents in-law Michael and Agnes, brother-in-law Jack, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, relatives, neighbours and a large circle of close friends.

Many tributes have been paid to the very popular underage GAA coach and father of four.

Expressing their deepest condolences to Aidie’s wife Gemma and the Sheridan Family, Mullahoran Dreadnoughts remembered him ‘as a great supporter and member of Mullahoran GFC over the years both as a player and as a sponsor of the club’.

Two of Aidie’s four sons currently play with the Mullahoran U8 team which he helped coach.

In a Facebook tribute, Flood Precast said, “Aidie was not just our co-worker but our good friend too.

“We will all miss him more than words can express.”

“Our sincere condolences to Aidie's wife Gemma and his four beautiful boys, family and friends and the Kilcogy/Mullahoran community, where he's heavily involved with the underage GAA club which was his big passion. May he rest in peace.”
