Dedicated to the memory of Patrick Kelly
Our wonderful husband, father, brother, and friend, Patrick Kelly, died peacefully on the 23rd October 2023 after living with cancer for four years. He was warm and open-hearted, gentle, and witty. He was a journalist, an author, an activist, and the lynchpin of his family. He lit up the lives of the people who knew him, and any who met him were left touched by his warmth.
Patrick published his novel last year, and the chance to promote it was taken away from him by this cruel illness. This is where you can buy the novel: https://www.waterstones.com/book/a-hard-place/patrick-kelly/9781800422452
We are raising money for St. Leonard's Hospice who cared for him so beautifully in his final months. If you feel able to donate, our family would love to support the Hospice in lieu of flowers.
He was our wordsmith, of course, so nothing we write will ever feel like enough - but this page will serve as a place to gather our memories of this kind and brave adventurer. He is much loved and always remembered.
