Lakeview House, Rooskeybeg, Claremorris and The Shamrock Bar
Unexpectedly on November 1st, 2025

The family of the late Jimmy Gallagher would like to extend our deepest appreciation to all who supported us during our sudden loss. Your kindness shown through visits, messages, phone calls, mass cards, flowers, and online condolences has been an immense source of comfort to us.

To our relatives, neighbours, and friends, thank you for your support and help, to all who dropped off food and the many thoughtful gestures offered throughout this difficult period. Your compassion will never be forgotten.


We would especially like to acknowledge the Claremorris South Responder Group and the Emergency Services for the care they showed to Jimmy and to our family.

We are also profoundly grateful to everyone who took part in the various guards of honour throughout the streets of Claremorris and outside The Shamrock Bar, your participation was a touching tribute and a clear reflection of the love and respect held for Jimmy. It brought us great comfort on an emotionally heavy number of days.

Our sincere thanks to Fr. Peter Gannon for his support throughout and for the beautiful funeral mass, to Pat Gleeson for preparing the church, the musicians Sharon and Kathy and to all who
contributed to the ceremony which so perfectly honoured Jimmy’s life.

We also wish to thank both local undertakers Keith Donnellan FD and Michael Lavelle, Gilligan FD for their professionalism, care and guidance and to Tommy Lavelle whom will prepare Jimmy's final resting place.

While no words can capture how deeply we feel Dad's absence, his warmth, humour, and presence, we take great solace in knowing how beloved he was by all who knew him and his memories will live on.

As it is not possible to thank everyone individually, please accept this message as an expression of our heartfelt gratitude.


Jimmy’s month’s mind mass will take place on Saturday the 6th of December at 11am in St. Colman’s Church followed by burial of his ashes in St. Colman’s Cemetery.

We are also very grateful to the car parking stewards who gave their time so generously to ensure everything on the day of the funeral ran so smoothly and respectfully.
