Finnegan sustained fatal injuries during the Tandragee 100 road race when he crashed during the final stages of the race. A photo of the talented racer, snapped at the Tandragee 100 road race in Co Armagh shortly before his death, adorned the cover of the prayer booklet.

He is survived by wife Brenda, daughter Rachel, parents, Jim and Margaret, and siblings Elizabeth, Ger, James, Paul, Sean and Peter.
