Rip Brian, I was lucky to be one of Brian's students he was an inspiration and I was deeply saddened to learn of his passing, sincere condolences to his family.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Mr Cannon. I was fortunate to have him for English and History in ‘82/83. In Mercy College, Coolock. He inspired all of us; he challenged us to discuss whatever we were learning. Today, as a teacher myself, I tell my class about the lovely teacher I had who instilled a love of learning in me, could tell you where words originated from, especially Latin ones, and was passionate about teaching. He certainly left his mark
on all of us. May he rest in peace and may his family find some comfort through all the lovely messages that have been left.

Jennifer, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. May your Dad Rest in Peace.

Marie, Jennifer, Derek and your families and friends. Thinking of you all at this sad time. May Brian Rest In Peace.

Mr.Cannon was a great principal who drove high standards and respect throughout the school and surrounded himself with like-minded and dedicated team of teachers and others who aligned to his vision of building Malahide Community School to be better than we could ever appreciate at that time.

Brian was a kind and caring friend, an inspirational educator and the world is a lesser place since his passing. Sincere condolences.

Sincere condolences to the family of Brian Cannon. Brian was an inspirational teacher and instilled in me a love of learning that has lasted a lifetime. I was blessed to have him as my teacher in Virgo Clemens College and was honoured years later, to enrol my own sons in Malahide Community School under his incredible tutelage.

Rest in peace Brian. You leave behind an indomitable spirit and we are all the better from knowing you.

So sad to lose such a true leader in education. He has left a great legacy to the students and families of this community. He will always be fondly remembered.

I offer my deepest condolences to The Cannon family. Over many years we worked closely as neighbouring Principals and shared mutual respect. In latter years we met for a game of Golf but more frequently for Tea and Scones in the Grand Hotel. It was a privilege to share time with Brian, particularly in his last few years. May he now enjoy his Heavenly Home in the company of his beloved daughter. RIP

To Marie Jennifer and Derek

Sincere condolences to Brian's family on your sad loss. It has been a privilege to have known such a kind and inspirational man. May Brian rest in peace.

There is little I can add to the tributes that have already been paid to Brian. I identify with so many of them but at the same time I’ve learned that he was an even more special person than I had realised. Perhaps that’s because he was never someone who blew his own trumpet. His impact within the sphere of education was immense. I hope it will be of consolation to his family to realise how much he was appreciated and for the rest of us to realise how fortunate we were to have crossed paths with Brian and shared such a variety of experiences.
