Heartache as family of ‘beautiful boy’, 3, killed in Dublin car park tragedy confirm funeral & plan sweet balloon vigil

THE family of a three-year-old boy who died after being struck by a car in a Dublin car park this week have confirmed his funeral details.

Noah Sikora died on Wednesday after being rushed to hospital from Charlestown Shopping Centre in Finglas.

Gardai and emergency services rushed to the scene shortly after 8.40am and the tot was taken to Temple Street Children’s Hospital.

However, he sadly passed away on Wednesday afternoon.

A death notice online said little Noah is survived by his parents Bartek and Martyna and was a “loving brother” to Leo.

He has also been described as a “doting grandson” to Wojtek, Dorota and Lucyna.

Noah is “sadly missed by his heartbroken family”, neighbours and friends.

His family have confirmed his funeral mass will take place at 11.30am on Monday in Saint Canice’s Church, Finglas Village.

The funeral mass will be followed by a cremation at Glasnevin Crematorium at around 1.20pm.

A touching tribute has also been arranged for Monday evening to say goodbye to little Noah.

Mourners will gather with balloons at the local patio in Charlestown Shopping Centre to release in Noah’s honour.

The memorial has been organised in an attempt to allow children in Finglas “to pay tribute and say their final goodbye” to their friend Noah.

Balloons will be provided at the vigil, which starts at 6pm on Monday.

Details were shared by Noah’s aunt Marysia who has led heartbreaking tributes to the little tot.

Taking to social media, she said: “Noah forever three. My heart has been broken in pieces today.”

She added: “Part of me has died, love you always and forever Noah. See you soon my little angel.”

Noah’s mother Martyna also shared an emotional post last night paying tribute to the little lad.

She said: “My precious Noah,You left us far too soon, but you will forever be our little angel. Thank you for the love you brought into our lives.

“Your big brother Leo is waiting to see you again, and so are we. Mummy, Daddy, your grandparents, great-grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins and best friends will carry you in our hearts forever.

“Until we meet again, our beautiful angel. We love you always.”

Tributes and condolences have steadily poured in following Noah’s shock death on Wednesday.

One mourner said: “I am so truly sorry for your loss, the people of Finglas are heartbroken for you, there are no words that can make you feel better at this sad time.

“I am praying for Noah’s family and friends. We stand with you and Noah will forever be in our thoughts and prayers.”

Another added: “Goodbye my little pal. See you on the other side one day my little warrior.”

A third said: “He will be deeply missed by all that knew him, and we will remember that smile forever.”

A fundraiser has been set up to support Noah’s heartbroken parents cover his funeral costs.

The GoFundMe states: “It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we share the tragic news of the passing of little Noah.

“The three-year-old boy lost his life in a tragic accident after being struck by a car in a local car park.

“Noah was only three years old. He was a beloved son and a source of endless joy to his family. His sudden loss has left an unimaginable pain and emptiness in the hearts of those who loved him.”

The organiser added: “During this incredibly difficult time, friends, neighbours and members of the community would like to come together to support the family and help cover the funeral costs.

“Any support, no matter how small, will mean a great deal to the family.”

Nearly €16,000 has been raised since the fundraiser was set up just one day ago.

And in an update the organisers thanked people for the hundreds of donations made.

They said: “From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone for the incredible support shown to the family during this very difficult time. Thank you for every kind word and for all the donations towards little Noah’s funeral.

“Thanks to your kindness and generosity, the fundraising goal was reached in just one day — and even exceeded.

“We are truly grateful for your help and support. May none of us ever have to experience such a tragedy as the one that has touched Noah’s family.

“Rest in peace, little angel. You will forever remain in our hearts.”
