His wife Ann Marie also sustained injuries in the crash and was rushed to hospital. In December, Ronan remembered his big brother on his birthday.
Sharing a touching tribute, he wrote: “Today was always going to be a tough one. What should be my Brother Ciaran’s Birthday is instead a day to remember he is gone.
