The Legacy
Michael was the loving husband of Mary Bridget and a devoted father to Thomas, Bernadette (McDonagh), Deirdre (Young) and the late Michael (R.I.P.). He was father-in-law to Wilma, Tony and Michael and a proud grandfather to Siobhan, Roisin, Kayley and Matthew. His family say he leaves behind a close-knit circle of relatives and friends who will carry forward his memory.
Locally, Michael is remembered for his steadfast support of parish life and youth sport; the family has asked that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to St Patrick’s GFC Underage development — a nod to causes important to him and the community.
Social Proof & Tributes
The family statement records that Michael is “deeply regretted” by his sorrowing wife, children, grandchildren, sister, nieces, nephews and entire family circle. The parish will make the requiem mass available online for those who cannot attend in person, and the community has been informed of the wake and funeral arrangements.
Those wishing to pay respects can attend the visiting times at the family home, watch the mass via the parish webcam, or send donations to St Patrick’s GFC Underage development through the family or Murrays Funeral Services.
Deepest sympathies to Mary Bridget and the O’Hanlon family at this difficult time.
