Cllr Dalton said: "So sad to read of the passing of my friend Eamonn.
"I always enjoyed meeting and chatting to Eamonn whenever I bumped into him. Had the pleasure of teaching him computers on a number of occasions. He was a very keen and bright student who loved to ask me the hardest of questions!
"Condolences to all of Eamonn's family and friends. May he rest in peace."
A private funeral will take place due to Government advice regarding public gatherings.
