Brian Clarke

At a recently convened meeting of the remaining members of 1798 Aughrim monument committee, a vote of sympathy was passed to the family of Brian Clarke. Brian was the designer of the 1798 bicentennial monument in Aughrim, which is a lasting legacy of his profession.
Rest in Peace Brian

I am so sorry for your loss. Brian will be sadly missed by all who were privileged to know him. I will be always grateful for the knowledge he so generously passed on to me and times spent with you all.

Sorry I cannot be there today.

My deepest sympathy to Yvonne and family on the sad passing of Brian. Think of you all at this sad time.

Our journey through a life in Craft can seem long, sometimes arduous, but more often laced with the thrills of creation and discovery. It was always joyous sharing our stories of the best and the not so best, the challenging and the dawdles. The why? And the confirmation of the time well spent in achieving the solution.
Yvonne, Alan and Rob, our sincere condolences and wishing you strength and fortitude at this time.

Sincere condolences Yvonne, Alan, Robert and extended family on the death of Brian. May his gentle soul rest in peace. ☮️ Anne & Nuala Gorman

So sad to hear of Uncle Brian’s passing - my main memories of him are from blissful family holidays on the Cork coast - all the adults drinking Murphy’s and laughing all week, and us cousins larking about. Happy days.

I know Mum and Dad enjoyed similar get-togethers right up until your recent holiday in Tavira and they will miss him, and his great sense of humour, terribly.

And what an amazing artist he was - I will always treasure the unique and beautiful silver pot he gifted me and George as a wedding present.

Sending thought and lots of love to you all, Yvonne, Alan and Robert xxxx

Deepest sympathy to Yvonne and family at this sad and difficult time. Rest in peace Brian

Dear Yvonne, Alan and Robert,

My sincere condolences to you all on Brian’s untimely death, the loss of your loving, lifelong partner, husband and father.

I will always cherish the memories I have of Brian with fondness and delight. Of our schooldays together, and archery escapades in Cabinteely woodlands attempting to shoot wood pigeons with bow and arrows, our acrobatic manoeuvres on a high parallel bar in Brian’s parents back garden in Shankill.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Brian was such a charming, creative, innovative and inspiring man, a truly lovely person, I feel privileged to have known Brian and to have had my life enriched by him.

Truly sorry to hear the news about Uncle Brian. He has been a presence throughout my life and he will always be a big part of my memories of our childhood Irish holidays.
