A tragic little boy who died after he was hit by a truck in north Dublin will be laid to rest tomorrow.
Devin Crosby Shepherd, seven, was struck by the vehicle at around 4:30pm last Sunday on St. Joseph's Way in Ballymun.
He was immediately taken to Temple Street Children's Hospital but passed away a short time later.
The youngster's funeral will take place on Thursday morning in the Church of St. Philip the Apostle, Mountview, Dublin 15, arriving for Requiem Mass at 10.30am.
Burial will take place afterwards in Mulhuddart Cemetery.
A notice on RIP.ie reads: "Devin, beloved son of Geraldine and Andy and dear brother of Yasmin, John Patrick and Jamie.
"Sadly missed by his loving mother, father, Geraldine’s partner Gareth and children Cillian and Hannah, sister, brothers, grandfathers Michael and Patrick, aunts, uncles, cousins, relatives and friends."
Devin's family have asked everyone attending his funeral to wear bright colours.
The house is strictly private and family flowers only, please. Donations, if desired, may be made to Temple Street Hospital.
Earlier this week, tributes poured in for little Devin who has been described as the "brightest angel in the sky".
His mother Geraldine Shepherd took to Facebook and posted a beautiful picture of Devin with angel wings as well as a picture of the smiling young boy on a family day out with his hands in the air, Dublin Live reports.
