21-year-old Joe Drennan died in a crash on Friday.
A midlands student, who was killed in a hit and run at the weekend, is being remembered as someone with an infectious smile, who brought great colour to his family and friends lives.
Joe Drennan, from Mountrath, died on Friday night after he was involved in a two car collision, while standing at a bus stop in Castletroy.
John's Lennon's A Beautiful Boy was played as his coffin was brought into St. Fergal's Church, Camross just after 3 o'clock.
A pride flag, sunglasses, a horse riding helmet, and a journal were among the items brought to the alter to represent his love of style, horses, and dedication to journalism.
His lecturer at the University of Limerick, Kathryn Hayes says although his life was cut short he leaves a legacy which will not be forgotten:
