David McCarthy

I came across this sad news by chance and I was shocked to see that Dave had passed away. We were in college at the same time and spent a few summers together working in Munich. Great times and great memories of a good guy. My deepest sympathies to Celia, Stephen and to Dave's wider family.

May he rest in peace.

On behalf of SEAI, please accept our deepest sympathies on the sudden passing of David McCarthy. Our Board and teams frequently crossed paths with David through his work supporting Energy Action. Our sincerest condolences to David's family, friends, and colleagues.

I knew him briefly (Trinity Corinthians), a gentleman.

My sincerest condolences to Celia, Stephen and Dave’s extended family. I cannot tell you how sorry I am for your loss, for all of our loss.

Dave and I worked side by side at Great-West for the past 8 years. We hit it off very quickly, with a shared passion for football and a good pint, and over the years became very good friends. We were often traveling together and countless times we’d grab a quick pint after work on a Friday. We’d solve the world’s problems and share many a great story. If it was a longer evening, there would often be memories of footballing adventures from younger days – his accent getting stronger and quicker as the evening wore on!

David was hugely respected inside and outside the company – he had a rare combination of super sharp intellect, street smarts and common sense, and a quick wit to go along. And above all, he was a real gentleman. He will be so sorely missed. May you rest in peace Dave.

With my deepest sympathies,
Garry

Dave was such a nice chap and although our paths have not crossed a lot since our Trinity days, when I think of Dave, I see this smiling, happy chap on the soccer pitch between the sticks. Rest in peace Dave. Fergus

My sincere condolences to Celia, Stephen and all the family on the sudden passing of David. I had the pleasure of crossing paths with David whilst in Guinness & Mahon and on a number of occasions since. His razor sharp wit and always friendly manner will be remembered. May he rest in perfect peace.

My sincere condolences to David’s family. May he rest in peace. Lovely guy always a smile, . Jim & Family Swords

My deepest sympathies to Celia, Stephen, and Dave's extended family and friends. Like many here, I met Dave on the football field when we played for Trinity. He had a friendly outlook and a sharp mind and I got to know him well over those years. When we'd meet in more recent years, we'd get right back into it like no time had passed, a testament to his easygoing manner. Rest in peace, Dave.

Sincere condolences to Celia, Stephen Evelyn & Carol on David's untimely death. We lived next door in Gracepark Meadows and knew David as a young boy, strumming his guitar and playing football. He always aspired to a good career and he truly excelled in achieving his ambition. Aways a joy to meet and chat with and despite his success he was always down to earth. May he rest in peace. Monica & John O'Keeffe

Celia and Stephen please accept my sincere condolences. I worked for David for years in Irish Life and still had many interactions with him since he moved to Canada. A hard-working man who always had time to listen and help, an absolute gentleman, we will all miss him.

I am so sad to hear of David's passing. I knew him through shared times on the Board of Energy Action where he was a great chairman over many years. He was witty and erudite great company and a true professional. Please accept my sincere condolences and deepest sympathies. I will miss him. May he rest in peace.

Deepest sympathies to David’s family, gone way too soon.

All the girls at focus

A life well lived and consummate professional.

Dear Celia and Stephen
I had the privilege of knowing Dave for over 40 years from Trinity through Coopers& Lybrand and then when our careers intersected through business on many an occasion. Dave had a unique combination of an outstanding intellect and easy going charm that led to him being so warmly respected by all his many friends and colleagues. Please accept my deepest condolences.

Celia and Stephen, my deepest condolences on the passing of David.

David was a friend and a colleague. We bonded over our travels at Canada Life, from Luxembourg to Bermuda, from Colorado to Winnipeg and from Toronto to Dublin. His love of family, football and the occasional beer was something we shared. He was of course an intellectual giant but also a genuinely gentle man who had tremendous spirit but an overwhelming sense of fairness. We regaled each other over our time in Munich in the early 80's where we found out we both worked, without knowing David we must have crossed paths, he as a busker in Marienplatz at night and me going faithfully to Marienplatz to be entertained by buskers. I had the pleasure of going to the 2016 euro game in Lille with David for one of life's great adventures before our Luxembourg board meetings. I enjoyed David's company as we cheered my beloved TFC in the fan section. I won or lost a bet with David over the years as we cheered Chelsea in his case, and Bayern in mine. Over beers we solved many of the worlds problems. I am heartbroken at David's passing and I hope that all the great memories of David will act as some comfort in this incredibly difficult time for you.

May David rest in peace,

Fred

I got to know David through Trinity soccer club and later he become a director of Energy Action charity. He remained Chairman of Energy Action for 30 years.

A very busy man in his own professional career but was always available to every request from Energy Action, never missed one meeting. A man of great humility and humanity. May he rest in peace.
Such a great loss to all.

I met Dave on my first week in Trinity - 2 northsiders in a sea of southsiders. We had each others backs thru College and all its adventures then later in London and further afield. Dave, from humble beginnings, was one of our brightest and best achievers. He was a great friend and compatriot. Condolences to Celia and Stephen on their great loss. May he rest in peace.

As a fellow-director of Energy Action over many years, I was so shocked to hear the sad news that Dave had died very suddenly at the age of just 62. I will always remember him as a great colleague with a dogged determination to get things right, mixed with genuine humanity and a wonderful sense of humour that shone at our annual pre-Christmas board dinners. He will be missed by so many whose lives he touched. My deepest sympathy to his wife Celia, son Stephen and the entire family, whose loss is incalculable.

I very much enjoyed the time i spent with David, quick wit,right to the point and always there to help.

Dave was a colleague and friend during our time together at Copers in the 80's. He was one of those people who excelled at everything they did - academically, career, playing the guitar/singing, goalkeeping at a high level among them. He was a big personality and provided wit and intelligence in abundance wherever he was. His passing (way too soon) will leave a big gap in the lives of all he touched. Deepest sympathies to Celia, Stephen and all of Dave's family and friends. RIP Dave.

My most sincere condolences to the family and friends.
