The death took place suddenly on Friday of local bus driver Valdas Vyte of Slieve Roe Crescent and late of Castletown Road, Dundalk.
The Lithuanian native was well known to many commuters from the town having driven a Matthews Coach Hire bus from Dundalk to Dublin daily.
Ever popular with both passengers and colleagues, one of his co-workers described his sudden passing in the Mater Hospital as “very sad” and said everyone at Matthews Coach Hire was in shock.
Valdas is survived by his wife Daiva, family and friends and colleagues at Matthews Coaches.
His removal takes place from Dixon’s Funeral Home in Bridge Street on Monday afternoon at 12.45pm to St Nicholas’ Church, arriving for funeral Mass at 1pm.
