Our deep condolences to Patricia, Branwen and extended family. John was a gentle soul who will be missed by everyone in the community that used to share his warm company and conversation.

The Club will be forever indebted to John who helped shape our new grounds and realise its potential from clearing the site way back in 2020 and 2021 and planting countless trees. Without John’s hard work the Club may not be in the healthy position it is today.

John really enjoyed contributing to something so positive and took great joy in seeing Hurling return to Manor Kilbride in the shape of Western Gaels. John loved Hurling and especially Cork Hurling and I know he took immense pride in going to the All-Ireland Hurling Final a few years ago as a small recognition for all the incredible work John did for the Club through the years.

A true Gael, thank you John. You will be terribly missed by all and your incredible work over the years will never be forgotten.

From all at your Club, Cill Bhríde, rest in peace.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam
