We at the Saffron Gael would like to pass on our condolences to the Harvey family, Sean, Sharon, Aoife and Lena on the tragic death of Eunan, who lost his battle with caner yesterday. A great young man who was loved and respected everwhere he went, we reproduce tributes from his home club Glenariffe Oisins, from Con Magees, Glenravel where he played football and with his school St Killian’s College where he was a Year 14 student.
We can only imagine the pain his family is going through at this awful time.
The bright light of heaven to you Eunan
Glenariffe Oisins CLG
The Committee and members of Glenariffe Oisin CLG and the whole Glenariffe community are deeply saddened and heartbroken with the news of the tragic passing of Eunan, our esteemed minor hurler.
Eunan was an intelligent, talented young man with an infectious love for life and for his sport. He was at the centre of everything which was good around our club, whether that was as part of our Ulster Minor Championship winning team last year or volunteering of his time at Oisin’s CUL Camp. We were incredibly proud as a club to see Eunan represent us as he lined out for Antrim minor hurlers in 2025.
Eunan’s cheerful positivity, enthusiasm and determination were a true inspiration to those around him and his loss will be deeply felt by all his friends and teammates.
We extend our deepest sympathy to his parents Sean and Sharon, his sisters Aoife and Lena, his entire family circle and large group of friends and teammates at this sad time.
Mary Queen of Gael pray for him.

Remembering Eunan Harvey
It is with the deepest sadness that we learned of the passing of Eunan, a great teammate and friend.
Eunan was the kind of fella everyone enjoyed having around the pitch and the dressing room – passionate, energetic, and always ready with a smile. His infectious spirit lifted everyone around him, both on and off the field. A natural sportsman and a loyal friend, he brought laughter and life wherever he went. Eunan played on our U16 Championship winning team last year and The Breslin Cup winning team in 2023.
Though his time with us was far too short, the impact he made will never be forgotten.
Our thoughts are with Sean, Sharon, Aoife & Lena, his friends, and teammates both here and in Glenariffe, during this difficult time.

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Eunan Harvey, Year 14, who died peacefully after a short illness, earlier this morning.
Eunan was a valued member of our school community—bright, lively and full of promise. Surrounded by many friends, his presence touched our lives and brought much joy to his entire year group. His loss will be felt deeply by all our students, staff, and those who knew him.
Eunan was a top achieving pupil at both GCSE and AS Level, recently achieving an A in PE, a Distinction in ICT and a C in Environmental Technology whilst battling an illness. More than the sum of his academic achievements, Eunan was an outstanding sportsperson representing the college in numerous sports, his club (Glenariffe) and County Antrim in hurling, and also representing Con Magees, Glenravel in Gaelic football.
Eunan was a lively, outgoing and sociable young man who made a lasting impression among his peers and large friendship group. Eunan knew how to enjoy himself and had a great sense of humour, showing us the importance of making the most out of each and every day.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to all of Eunan’s family, particularly his parents Sharon and Sean, and his sisters Aoife and Lena. Our thoughts are also with his friends, classmates and entire St Killian’s community during this incredibly difficult time. We will continue to offer support in any way we can.
Please join us in keeping Eunan and his loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.
May he rest in peace 🙏
