Tributes pour in for much-loved former Dublin GAA goalkeeper Keith ‘Beezer’ Gorman following death at 46

Gorman was affectionately known as ‘Beezer’

Tributes are being paid to former Dublin GAA goalkeeper Keith Gorman following his death at the age of 46.

Gorman, affectionately known as ‘Beezer’, had been suffering with pancreatic cancer since 2024.

Gorman was part of Tommy Carr’s senior Dublin side who won the O’Byrne Cup in 1999.

His former club Newtown Blues in Louth posted on Facebook: “We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of our dear friend and clubman, Keith ‘Beezer’ Gorman.

“Keith was a Gael through and through – a proud husband to Karen, a devoted father to Kaelan, and above all, a truly genuine person who lit up every room he walked into.

“From the moment he joined our Blues family, Keith’s easy smile, good humour and kind nature made him a friend to so many.

“He embraced our club and community with open arms, and in turn, we were lucky to call him one of our own. Keith faced his illness with incredible courage, strength, and dignity.

“His passing leaves a huge void in the lives of everyone who knew him, but his spirit, warmth, and the memories he leaves behind will live long in our hearts.

“On behalf of everyone at Newtown Blues, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Karen, Kaelan, and all of Keith’s family and friends at this difficult time. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.”
