Last Friday, Jason was one of the pallbearers at his sister Scarlett’s funeral following her death four weeks after she was assaulted on the side of the road in Birdhill. Two days later he tragically passed away.

Many tributes have poured in following his death with many expressing their condolences to the Faulkner family from Longpavement on the northside of Limerick city.

Jason, a son of Banny and Mary, is one of 16 siblings.

Sister Lena posted on Facebook: “I just lost my sister and now my brother. I can’t believe this happened to us again.”

The Scarlettarmy Facebook page, which was set up following the assault on Scarlett, posted: “God Bless you Jason, we will pray for your soul and pray that you can now find peace with your sister Scarlett.”

One person posted on social media: “It’s a sad world we live in. Poor Banny and Mary buried their daughter Scarlett two days ago and now their son.

“God may mind them and keep them strong. Pray for all the family again. This is a painful world. Rest in peace, Jason.”
