Keir Millar remembered as 'the boy who rose to any challenge'

Keir was a very popular boy who made friends easily across the partnership of Hightae, Tundergarth and St Mungo schools. He recently joined Tundergarth from Hightae and quickly became a part of the school community.

He was a gifted athlete and excelled at all sports. As the star of our partnership football team he was much admired by his team mates. Although a world champion stock car racer, Keir was modest and unassuming of his achievements and was always encouraging towards others less talented. He showed a mature and caring patience particularly with the younger children in all three of our schools.

Keir was a multi talented boy who was a perfectionist in all he turned his hand to. He was always willing to have a go.

He was a reliable and thoughtful friend and the loss we are feeling across the school communities of Tundergarth, Hightae and St Mungo reflects the positive impact Keir had on all our lives.

Our thoughts are with Keir’s family at this extremely difficult time and we send them our deepest sympathy and support.

We will remember Keir as the boy who rose to any challenge, always with a smile on his face."
