A week after his tragic death, 2008 Olympic Bronze Medallist Darren Sutherland was buried today in St. Finian's cemetary in Navan, County Meath, Ireland.
The likable and talented 27 year old was memorialized during the well-attended funeral service at nearby St. Mary's Church.
A week of painful reflection among the boxing community in both Ireland and Britain has now been brought to a close but the memory of Sutherland will live on as this remarkable young man will never be forgotten.
