Oisin Gregg: Heartfelt tributes pour in for teenager

The Belleek teenager died following a serious collision near Kesh last week and will be buried this Sunday, June 16.

As a former student of Belleek Primary School and Devenish College, Mr Gregg is fondly remembered by both schools for the impact he had on the school communities.

On social media, a spokesperson for Belleek Primary School wrote: “It is with great sadness that we learn of the untimely death of our former pupil, Oisin Gregg.

“Oisin was a quiet, caring child with a passion for football. As a school community we are heartbroken.

“Oisin’s tragic death has devastated the entire Belleek community. We hope that some comfort will come to the Gregg family knowing that we will all do our best to support you in the days, weeks, months and even years to come.

In addition to this, Mr Gregg's former teacher, Elaine McMorris, shared on social media: “I have treasured memories of teaching Oisin. He was the best little boy. He was gentle, caring and a friend to everyone.

Also on social media, his former school, Devenish College, wrote: “The Devenish College community is devastated and heartbroken to learn of the tragic passing of our former student, Oisin Gregg.
