Stuart Doonan drowned near his Montreal accommodation on June 10, leading to the establishment of a GoFundMe page. His sister, Stacey, described him as 'the heart and soul of the family' and thanked supporters for their help in repatriating Stuart. The family surpassed their fundraising goal, with plans to donate excess funds to the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust, which aids families in similar situations. Friends fondly remembered Stuart as a kind and generous person who left a lasting impact on those around him.
The family has raised around 95pc of the original target amount and has promised that any money left over will be donated to the charity that helps families repatriate the remains of loved ones who died abroad.
Stacey remembered her brother as 'the heart and soul of the family' on the online fundraising page which has received over €4,300 in donations.
The charity covers many of the practicalities involved in repatriation, from liaising with funeral directors overseas to ensuring all necessary documentation is in place, easing some of the burden on loved ones during an already traumatic time.
Friends remembered him as a warm, kind, and generous young man who loved life and made a lasting impression on everyone who encountered him.
