The wife of a young father who was killed in a farm tragedy in Meath this week has said they were "so lucky" for all the years they had together and will "cherish every memory".
"He never lost his temper. He always had a cool head and he was everybody’s confidant so David’s phone never stopped ringing from morning to night. David and Zoe were teenage sweethearts who had been together for 18 years, having been set up to go to the Debs together, but only started dating after Zoe had finished her Leaving Cert.
"It’s been a whirlwind. We built a house together, we worked so hard together, sometimes we just sat back and said ‘how did we do it?’," Zoe said.Zoe said their three children adored him and he equally "idolised" them back, always making time for family days out and holidays together no matter how busy he was on the farm.
"We are expecting. I am 23 weeks now and due in October. We were looking forward to that," she said. "We had the other three very close together but we always wanted [another] but we were just enjoying the other three so much. "Every day was jam packed. For as long as I’ve known David there was never an idle moment, every space in time was filled. There was a plan and we were going somewhere or we were having someone over or visiting.
"I was at home on Tuesday, I was after picking up the little fellow from pre-school at 12 o’clock. His mum came flying up the driveway and I knew something was wrong. She said ‘Come quick David’s after getting stuck’." "That’s how much he wanted to stay with us and I think it’s important that everybody knows that. He tried his best."
"I don’t know how it happened and why it happened. He wasn’t under-cautious. He had too much to lose.""I don’t even know how to explain how incredible they’ve been. We haven’t had to worry about a single thing," she said. Zoe said: "We’re so happy we had him for as long as we did, we couldn’t be any more grateful that we had him for the time that we did. We will never forget him and he’s always going to be with us and that’s a fact."
"An old vet who used to come here used to say ‘he has the quietest cows in the country’ because of the way they were rared.' You know there was love and attention given to them and kindness and gentleness."
