Friends of the teenager killed in a horrific accident in Co Tyrone at the weekend have been posting tributes to him on the internet ahead of his funeral today.
Jonathan Miller (18) from Artigarvan, worked as an electrician and was a keen field sportsman who belonged to the junior Northern Ireland Clay Pigeon Shooting team.
He died following an accident on the Fyfin Road outside Strabane and is due to be buried at Leckpatrick Presbyterian Church today.
Mr Miller was also a member of a number of marching bands.
Emma Sweeney (13) and her 11-year-old brother Eamon also died in the collision.
Their mum Sharon and eight- year-old brother Paul are recovering in Altnagelvin Hospital.
On Mr Miller's Bebo page, tributes have been flooding in.
One message reads: "U'll be missed greatly. U were always happy and lets face [it] taking the mick but thats why ya had to love ya. U lit the pub up wit that laddish behaviour and cheeky smile which seemed to get u outta anything, and well u knew it boy! ya wee cheeky chappy.
