The death has occurred, under tragic circumstances in a farming accident, of Adrian Fitzpatrick of Carraig Stud, Ballyouskill. The nineteen year old was working on his grandparents’ farm near Rathangan, Co. Kildare when the accident occurred. He was rushed to a Dublin Hospital but sadly died shortly afterwards. Adrian was a diligent, vibrant young man, an enthusiastic sportsman and was devoted to family and friends. His removal took place on Saturday October 27 to St Bridget’s Church, Ballinakill and burial took place following requiem mass in St Bridget’s Cemetery. Adrian is mourned by his parents Adrian and Margaret; his brothers Jack and Seamus and his sister Marie, grandparents, relatives and a wide circle of friends to whom deepest sympathy is extended.
