So very sorry to hear of Gareth's passing. I was one of the many many people at East Coast who got an education in radio news from him, and I still laugh whenever I think of the stories he told me to reassure me whenever I was fretting about something going wrong. He was always so patient and encouraging to those less experienced. My thoughts are with Peter and all of Gareth's family.

Amazing craic with Gareth covering elections in the roadcaster outside Shoreline. He was relentless at getting the job done. He never seemed to get tired, always super-organised. Great memories.

To Peter and Gareth's family and friends. So shocked to hear this sad news and thinking of you all. RIP Gareth.

With many memories going back to our Baltinglass "opt-out programming" days and Steam Radio, in the late 90's.... His quick ear for brilliant on-air puns and wicked mimicry, lifted many a West Wicklow week in the studio. My genuine condolences to all.

To Peter & Gareth’s family, heartfelt condolences to all of you at this very sad time. Gareth is such a loss, a lovely man, a good friend & a wonderful journalist. He took on the mantle of News Editor at East Coast and did an amazing job, capturing the mood, the scandals & the joys of the people of Wicklow. His sense of cynicism set him apart in getting to the truth & he must have trained half the national journalists in Ireland with great generosity & humour. Gareth will be much missed on so many levels.

R.I.P. Gareth. Even though we did not know your personally, we feel as if we did. Our daughter Clare spoke highly of you and you were very good and kind to her when she worked in East Coast FM. Condolences to Peter and you family.

My condolences to Peter and Gareth's family on the his sudden passing. I remember Gareth always having a smile to friends and strangers alike.
