Tributes flow for ‘funny and cheeky’ Dublin fitness coach Scott Murray who passed away suddenly

Tributes have flowed for a ‘funny and cheeky’ Dublin fitness coach who passed away suddenly at just 28-years-old.

Foxrock man and UCD graduate Scott Murray passed away while making dinner at home in Dublin.

And personal trainer Paddy Cunningham paid tribute to his friend who he knew through nutrition and fitness.

Paddy said: “I first got to know Scott maybe eight or so years ago through Instagram and his fitness related posts.

"He was absolutely obsessed with all things nutrition and fitness related, so much so he went on to do his Masters in Nutrition and had his own successful coaching business that he put so much effort into.”

Paddy went on to say that he is “totally shocked” by the news and his “heart is broken for his mum and dad who featured so regularly in his YouTube videos”.

He continued: “Scott was super intelligent, dedicated, funny, cheeky and always made time to reply. When I lived in Dublin we were in the same gym and he would always have a smile and a hello and time for a chat.

“He even helped me pick out my engagement ring for my partner back then, wanting live minute by minute updates of the rings I was looking at so he could give his thoughts, and then spurring me on the day I wanted to propose in New York.

“Scott, thank you for being you, the world was a much brighter place with you in it.

“Be kind to each other folks, but most of all be kind to yourself. Life is precious. Scott, sleep well buddy. Paddy x”.

And RIP.ie notice says Scott passed away suddenly at home on February 23, 2022,

He is the beloved son of Gail (Armstrong) and Peter, and he will be very sadly missed by his parents, uncles, aunts, grandmother, cousins, extended family and friends.

His funeral took place on Tuesday March 1 in Monkstown Parish Church.
