Oran McConville Hilltown Obituary, Death – The sudden and tragic death of Órán McConville has left a deep void in the hearts of many. The Drumgath GAC member and beloved coach with FunFit passed away last night following a devastating car accident, and the news has shaken his community to its core. Órán’s passing is not only a loss to his family and friends but also to the countless young people whose lives he touched through his work as a coach.
Órán’s legacy is one of compassion, energy, and dedication. As a coach with FunFit, he was not just teaching sports skills—he was mentoring young athletes, offering guidance, and instilling confidence in every person he worked with. His infectious enthusiasm created an environment where everyone felt supported, valued, and motivated to strive for excellence.
His contributions extended beyond his role as a coach; he was a valued member of the Drumgath GAC community. The club has expressed its deep sorrow at his loss, acknowledging the significant role he played in bringing people together, both on and off the field. His dedication to the sport was matched only by his commitment to his friends, teammates, and the broader community.
In recognition of the tragedy, the All County Finals scheduled for tomorrow have been postponed. The FunFit team, along with the Drumgath GAC community, are keeping Órán’s family—his mother Amanda and brother Shea—in their thoughts and prayers.
Though Órán is no longer with us, his memory will continue to inspire all who had the honor of working with him. His spirit will live on in the countless lives he touched, and his legacy will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, Órán.
