‘Always had a smile on his face’
In a post on social media, Moneydig Young Conquerors Flute Band said they were devastated by Isaac’s death.
“Isaac had been a part of our band since he was a wee nipper, first as an enthusiastic cymbal player and over the last couple of years as a gifted side drummer,” the post read.
“Always with a smile and a kind word for everyone, he will be fondly remembered by everyone associated with the band.”
Newtowne Football Club in Limavady also paid tribute to their former player.
“It is with great sadness and regret that we have learned of the tragic passing of our ex-player Isaac Roxborough,” they said.
Isaac had been part of Newtowne Youths football club for several years, playing regularly at seven, nine, and 11-a-side.
“He always had a smile on his face, irrespective of the result. He gave his all in every match he played.”
Newtowne Youths passed on their condolences to his whole family circle and said they are all in their thoughts at this difficult time.
