Brian Anderson from Ardattin, County Carlow, died unexpectedly on July 2 following an accident during motocross training.

Brian, who was also a talented artist, was admitted to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin with a serious head injury and placed on life support, but unfortunately succumbed to his injuries.

Since news of the accident broke, many who knew and loved Brian have paid tribute to the “talented young man.”

“Please keep any of you in your thoughts and prayers,” said a Motocross.ie spokesperson. “Our hearts are with Brian’s mother Judy and his sister Laura at this difficult time. Brian’s father sadly died in a motorcycle accident three years ago.”

RIP.ie was also flooded with condolences. “Our deepest condolences go out to Judy, Laura and Brian’s family and friends who knew and loved him,” wrote one mourner on RIP.ie. “I have been fortunate to call Brian one of my best friends for 25 years. Brian touched the hearts of so many people with his beautiful smile and kind, caring personality.”

“A truly amazing artist with an unparalleled talent. I have many great memories with Brian over the years on bikes and at soirees that will remain in my heart forever. Thank you for always being such a great friend to Maria and me and for sharing our special day with us as best man. I’m sure you are now back with your dad Willie.

“Rest in peace Brian, you will be missed by so many.”

Another mourner added: “Taken from family and friends far too soon, just like his father. I remember Brian more as a young boy, tinkering with Willie on this and that. A handsome little boy with his cheeky big grin.

“He grew into a very talented artist and a well-loved young man. Judy and Laura, the extended Anderson and Townsend families and a wide circle of friends, you are in my thoughts and prayers as you try to cope with his passing. Rest in peace, Brian. I am now back with your father.”
