Fundraising initiative set up to assist wife of Armoy crash victim

A fundraising drive has been set up to help the wife of American teacher Michael Munroe cover the costs of repatriation.

Michael was killed in a car crash in Armoy, Co Antrim, last month and his wife Caroline was hospitalised.


31-year-old Michael died from injuries sustained in the crash on the Gracehill Road on September 25.

An online fundraising initiative to help cover the costs of repatriating his remains has been set up.

Michael’s family recently paid tribute to those who assisted in the aftermath of the tragedy.

They said Michael was a ‘kind, loving man.’

“We are heartbroken over the loss of our sweet Michael Monroe. Michael and Caroline were on their honeymoon, a dream trip they planned and saved for, a year after their July 2017 wedding. They were having a wonderful time loving this beautiful country.

“Our tragic loss has been eased by the kindness and support of so many Irish people. We thank the neighbours and first responders at the accident scene, and the staff at both Causeway Coast and Glens and Altnagelvin Hospital,” they said in a statement.
