Thomas Healy's brother Danny says there were indications that Thomas would soon have been called up to play for Kerry.
He says, "Thomas was the centre of our lives."
"The Healy family schedule was run on Thomas Time."
"As you all know, Thomas was an all rounder, who played for Beaufort GAA and Killarney Athletic."
"We were only told this week he was in line for wearing the big Kerry jersey."
"On top of this, he was able to adjust his schedule to fit in athletics and golf, which he was a newcomer to."
"But that really shows his natural ability and passion for sport."
