He was working in a shed at his parents' farmyard, near his tyre centre, on July 18th 2024, when a tyre exploded and he died instantly.

Roscommon coroner Brian O'Connor said Pat was well known for being an obliging person, who went out of his way to help people.

For the first anniversary of his death last year, over 150 lorries took part in a truck run, in aid of the Frenchpark Church Refurbishment Fund.
