Remembering the life of

Edward (Tony) Kirwan

Dunmore East, Waterford / Butlerstown, Waterford.

Family and friends remember Tony as a true gentleman, admired for his humility, warmth, and kindness. His beloved children, Raymond, Sarah, Edward, and Alan, along with his cherished grandchildren, Emily, Ronan, Laura, Emma, Evan, Dylan, Alva, and Zoe, reflect on the unwavering love and dedication he showed them. Those closest to him recall fond memories of his days working with Suirway, where his friendly chats and caring nature left a lasting impression on colleagues and customers alike. Tony’s connection to Butlerstown and Harristown was deeply cherished, as was the special bond he shared with his late wife, Brid.

Tony’s legacy lives on in the hearts of his family, friends, and the community he touched with his kindness and quiet strength. His ability to create meaningful connections and his enduring love for those around him will always be remembered. As his family grieves, they take comfort in knowing he is now reunited with Brid, his beloved partner in life, and in the shared love of all who knew Tony’s remarkable character.
