Was a gentleman to deal with, rip.
We, in Maynooth Community First Responders, are devastated by the sudden passing of our chair, colleague, and dear friend Darren.
We would like to extend our most sincere condolences to Jean, Ryan, Adam, Alex and Kate.
Darren had been with us since the early days and was an incredibly committed and dedicated member of our group, responding to hundreds of calls in Maynooth over the past six years. He would drop everything to respond where possible, whether in the middle of a job, giving a quote, having a meal, during the day or in the middle of the night.
He was calm, competent, and always had a patient's best interests at heart. He was often the first to volunteer whenever help was needed, and he supported the team not only professionally, but also personally, often going well out of his way for others. For Darren, everything was “no problem”.
While he was professional when the situation called for it, he was also a messer, a joker, and great fun to be around. A no-fuss person, he quietly got on with the job, never seeking attention but always making an impact.
Darren was a shining light in our community, and he has left an indelible mark on all of us. His loss will be deeply felt.
Rest In Peace, our dear friend.
