In a statement issued by the club on social media, Dr Crokes said that Jamie was very popular with all club members.
"All in Dr. Crokes are shocked to hear of the untimely passing of our former player, minor selector and club member Jamie Doolan. Jamie was a brilliant underage player representing Dr. Crokes at all levels before turning his hand to management and he was involved in senior and minor management teams over the last number of years.
"A very knowledgeable selector who was very popular with all club members, Jamie will be sorely missed by his many friends in the club."
The statement went on to issue their condolences to the Doolan family.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Doolan family in this difficult time. As a mark of respect tomorrow nights captains homecoming to the Dr Crokes clubhouse will not be going ahead. May Jamie rest in peace."
