Family and friends remember Paddy as a true gentleman, a kind-hearted and positive presence in the lives of those around him. He was a devoted husband to Susan, a loving father to Michelle, Jodi, and Chris, and a proud grandfather to Ryan, Nova, Tria, and Jude. Paddy was a great friend and neighbour, always ready with a warm smile, a friendly chat, or a helping hand. His passing has left a deep void in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him, but his kindness, humour, and generous spirit will never be forgotten.
Paddy was a man of great strength and resilience, facing his illness with courage and dignity. He had a deep connection to Donegal, treasuring the time spent with his siblings and extended family. Those who knew him best recall his upbeat nature, always smiling, bringing laughter, and lighting up a room with his presence. His love for life and the joy he shared with others will forever remain in the hearts of his family, friends, and neighbours. Rest in peace, Paddy; your work is done, and you will be deeply missed.
