“There was more to life than school for Matthew, he loved tractors and lorries and all to do with machinery and mechanics.'
Mourners at the funeral of tragic Co Tyrone teen Matthew McCallan heard of a ‘happy, young boy’ who enjoyed the outdoor life, as the 15-year-old was laid to rest on Sunday.
At the funeral, Dungannon parish priest Dean Kevin Donaghy described Matthew as loving everything ‘hands on’, including on the farm and the football field. “Matthew liked plenty of time in the outdoor life, whether on the sports field or farming field. He had just recently taken out his treasure trove of little tractors that had been placed away safely in storage, and put them back on display in his ever so well kept bedroom.
The funeral heard of how Matthew had recently put together a list of goals for the near future, including passing his GCSEs, saving money and buying a car. A touching tribute from Matthew to his parents was displayed on the altar of the church during the mass. Earlier this week senior PSNI officers said ‘lessons will be learned’ after concerns had been raised about its initial response to the missing person investigation.
