A
YOUNG man killed in a horror two-car crash in Co Antrim "had so much to live for", mourners at his funeral heard yesterday.
Hundreds of people gathered in Bushmills to pay their respects to Robin Wilson (26), one of two men killed in Ballycastle on Easter Monday.
Wreaths in the shape of cars were placed in the hearse to show his love of motor vehicles as mourners gathered at a service held in his mother Patricia's home.
Rev Peter Turton said Mr Wilson, who was Armoy, was well liked and "always had a twinkle in his eye".
The funeral of Johnny Black (19), left, who was in the other car involved in the head-on-collision on the Cushendall Road, was held on Thursday.
Mourners joined Mr Wilson's parents Andrew and Patricia and brothers Graham, Marc and Matthew at the service, where Rev Turton described him as a good friend to those who knew him and would be "lovingly remembered and sadly missed".
He said Mr Wilson "was so young and had so much to live for" but added "the end of life can come to us at any moment, in just a single heartbeat".
Mr Wilson's mother's uncle Liam Davidson told how he loved cars.
"Robin worked as a lorry body repairer and he was into cars," he said.
"He loved tinkering at cars and he was the type of fella could turn his hand to anything.
"He was the sort of chap if he walked into a room he lit the whole place up and as the minister said he always had a twinkle in his eye.
"If you didn't know him he would have made sure you did get to know him."
Following the service, Mr Wilson was buried at Armoy Presbyterian Church.
Six other people were injured in the crash, including an 18-year-old woman who remains in a critical condition at the Royal Victoria Hospital.
Police have appealed for information about a third car seen at the scene of the crash.
The collision involved a Peugeot 207 and a Volkswagen Bora, destroying both cars. The PSNI said on Thursday that a third car was spotted parked near the scene of the carnage from Monday morning until Monday evening when it was towed away.
Inspector Mick Wood said officers were interested in speaking to anyone who may have seen a vehicle being towed away from the area or recovered by a lorry from the area on Monday.
