Remembering the life of

Rory Gallagher

Newtown, Tramore, Waterford.

Family and friends remember Rory as a kind, gentle, and talented soul who left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know him. His music and creativity inspired those around him, while his quiet strength and caring nature brought comfort and joy to many. Rory had a special way of connecting with people, and his wit and humour lit up every room he entered. His bond with his beloved mother, Teresa, was deeply felt, and those close to him take solace in the thought that they are now reunited.

To his heartbroken father John, his adoring siblings Owen and Tara, and all his extended family and friends, Rory was more than just a son, brother, and friend; he was a light in their lives. Whether sharing laughter with friends, mentoring bandmates, or simply being present for those he loved, Rory’s legacy is one of kindness and love. He will be forever missed but always remembered with warmth and gratitude. Rest peacefully, Rory, in the loving embrace of your mother.
