The Tralee youngster sadly lost his battle against cancer but, during his short life, he had inspired many in campaigning against suicide and raising €50,000 for various charities.
Kerry stars such as Darran O'Sullivan, Paul Galvin and Killian Young were joined by the likes of Donal Og Cusack, Mark McHugh and Aaron Kernan in remembering the 16-year old on Twitter.
Donal was an avid Munster rugby fan and All-Blacks legend Dan Carter tweeted: 'Sad to hear the news of young @Donal_Walsh_ #RIP #inspiration thoughts go out to his family & friends'.
