David Brown passed away in the accident in a wooded area in Ballyshanduff, near Ballybrittas, on Sunday afternoon.
In a tribute on Facebook, Portlaoise GAA have described the teen as a 'hero in the eyes of so many of our youngest.'
St. Mary's CBS in Portlaoise, where David was a third year student, says he was a 'much-loved, charming and vibrant' student.
Chairman of Portlaoise GAA, Eamon Fennelly, has been speaking to Midlands 103's Kamron Clarke, and says there's a real ache in everyone's hearts after David's death:
Gardaí are renewing their appeal for witnesses to the incident, and are asking anyone with any information to come forward, or to contact Portlaoise Garda Station.
