The two men who lost their lives in last weekend’s tragic road collision in Co Donegal are to be laid to rest later this week.

Friends Ryan Glenn, aged 25, and Gordy Galbraith who was in his 30s, were killed instantly when their car collided with another vehicle in the village of Liscooley on Friday night last at 10pm.

Both men were from just across the border in the village of Castlederg, in Co Tyrone.

An elderly couple in their 70s who were in the other car are still in a serious condition at Letterkenny University Hospital.

A Garda investigation into the cause of the tragedy is still ongoing.

Ryan was the beloved father of Logan, the much loved son of Caroline and Trevor, loving brother of Chloe, cherished grandson of Marian and Eugene (Mc Ivor) and Eileen and the late Percy (Glenn).

His remains will repose at Lynch’s Funeral Home, Castlefin Road, Castlederg on Wednesday and Thursday next from 4pm until 8pm.

A Service of Thanksgiving for the life of Ryan will be conducted at the Funeral Home on Friday next at 1pm with internment afterwards in Castlederg Cemetery.
