Tributes have poured in for an Irish dad who died over the weekend while on holiday in Turkey with his friends.
Conor Lennon, of Newtownhamilton, was on holiday with friends in Turkey when he sadly passed away following an incident on Saturday.
Mr Lennon leaves behind his daughter Georgia, girlfriend Siofra and his parents Tony and Paula.
Posting on social media, Mr Lennon’s sister Sian wrote: “I love you big bro. Didn’t get saying it enough. Forever and always. Thanks for everything.”
Park Butchers in Newtownhamilton wrote: “Myself, Vicki and all our staff are devastated to learn of the passing of Conor this morning.
“The Lennon family have played a big part in our businesses, including Conor, from the age of 15. We are all one big family and we are all heartbroken.
“We send our sincerest condolences to Tony, Paula, Megan, Sian, Georgia, Siofra and Jackie and family at this difficult time. We keep them in our thoughts and prayers.”
Conor’s home will be private to family and close friends at this time to allow the family to process their incomprehensible grief and loss.
One person described Conor as an “absolute one in a million…I will never ever forget the random drops of unforgettable advice you use to give me.”
Another wrote: “Absolutely awful…such a kind, funny lad…thinking of all your family…Rest in peace Lenno.”
“Thought the world of Connor..lovely young man and always smiling,” one friend posted.
One woman commented: “My God, I honestly can’t take this in!!! Talking to you one day and you’re gone the next!!!! RIP Lenno. Thanks for being a great mate. Heartbroken for your wee princess Georgia who you loved so much!!”
Sinn Féin councillor for the area, Aoife Finnegan, wrote: “Heartbreaking news. Sincere condolences. Sending his family and friend all the love, support and prayers.
While party colleague, Oonagh Magennis, added: “Devastating news. Thoughts and prayers with the entire family circle. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.”
