Thomas Byrne

My words mean nothing Paula but my love, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

For Paula, Mark, Aisling and Aoife,

We had the absolute pleasure of watching your beautiful boy grow into the beautiful man he became. A treasure and a credit to you all. He was truly loved. We will miss his wonderful smiley face forever.

“The agony is great and yet I will stand it. Had I not loved so much I would not hurt so much. But goodness knows I would not want to diminish that precious love by one fraction of an ounce. I will hurt. And I will be grateful for that hurt for it bears witness to the depth of our meaning. And for that I will be eternally grateful.”

Love always

Thomas was a classmate and friend. His locker in school was near mine and every day we'd chat and he would ask me what classes were next or what did we get for homework. He was one of the kindest people I've ever met and I'll miss him so much. This is such a sad time especially for you his Mam, Dad and sisters. I'm so sorry for your loss. RIP Thomas, you will be missed x

Those of us who had the privilege of knowing Thomas while he attended Jive Academy of Music will forever remember his big warm smile and sheer gentleness of character. He was one of those students who make your job worth doing; a gentleman true and true. Thomas clearly made the world a better place.

Jennifer and all the teachers at Jive.

The faculty and staff of UCD School of Medicine and Medical Science would like to express our sincere condolences to Aisling and Family on the passing of Thomas.

Dear Mark and Paula,

i am sorry that I cannot be there to celebrate Thomas's life with you. I shall always treasure the time that I lived in Leixlip and had the privilege of knowing him. I shall be thinking of you all and wearing my brightest colors this afternoon.

Respectfully, to all the family: Words seem totally inadequate to express my sadness at hearing of Thomas's death. Thomas was so dearly loved by every member of his family and also by all who knew him. I am remembering all the family in prayer at this time of very deep sorrow and pain. Anne, x

"Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. "

I had the pleasure of working beside this truly lovely young man at Vincent's charity shop in Maynooth and his passing has stunned, shocked and deeply saddened all of us who shared his company . They say that only the good die young and in Thomas' passing this is oh so sadly very true. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. Remember he will never truly be far away, just close your eyes and think of him and he will be with you.
