Dear Martina, Brian, Mairéad, Niamh, Jack and Luke,

My deepest condolences to you all. I’m still shocked and filled with overwhelming sadness with the untimely passing of my dear mentor, teacher and friend.
I’m honored to have been Dave’s friend in life, and to have the privilege of working with him closely in Oracle. I know he adored and loved his family so much, my heart will be always with you all. He was always there when I needed support, a little chat or a deep conversation, a good laugh, an advice or just a comforting or encouraging word. He had a true heart of gold! I truly and greatly miss him!

Walking the rest of our friendship alone is so heartbreaking. I’d just say to him - Goodbye, till we meet again!

Ar dheist Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

“A mélybe csak a tested merült el, csak ő tűnt el a föld alatt, de lényed lényege ezer felé szóródva is közöttünk maradt.”

My deepest sympathy to all of David's family on his sad passing. A great man for the chat, always humourous and would regularly go out of his way to help his colleagues in any way he could. May David Rest in Peace.

Sincere condolences to all of Dave's family at this very sad time.
Dave was one in a million. He was loved by everyone at Oracle, did everything with such positivity and always could cheer you up with some wise words when you needed it the most. We had many deep meaningful conversations over the years that I will never forget, he loved talking about his family, always spoke so highly of you all, it was great to hear. Such a wonderful family man, he will be truly missed. May he rest in peace.

I am so sad to hear of Davids passing.

We worked together 40 years ago in The Lep Inn.
We reacquainted when our paths crossed at the same spot every morning during lock down, when we were taking a morning walk before starting our day.
It was such a pleasure to meet at a time when no one could see or meet anyone.
Once or twice he'd have a son or two IN-TOE.
He'd often talk about his family, for which he was so proud.

My condolences to his family & friends.
I cant believe that I wont meet him at that spot again.

Dia Dhuit, agus slán leat a chara.

I was so very sorry to hear of Dave's passing, I worked with him in Oracle. Dave always had a smile and such a warm welcome or hello, he will be greatly missed. Dave's pride in and love for his family was clear to everyone and I hope knowing this and the many great memories ye have will bring some comfort in the days ahead as ye try to rebuild your world.

My deepest sympathy to David's family. May his memory be a blessing. Rest in Peace David.

A great guy taken far too soon. Always very witty and fun to be with. When we spoke we always planned to meet for a Pint - Alas never got around to it. Dave had an engaging personality and a genuine charming manner. I still can’t believe he’s gone. My sincerest sympathies and condolences to Martina and his wonderful family. Go ndeanna Dia trocaire ar a anam dilis

Dear Martina, Brian, Mairéad, Niamh, Jack, and Luke,

My deepest condolences to you all on the passing of your loving husband and father. I was shocked and saddened to learn of Dave’s untimely and sudden passing.

I am so grateful to have known and worked with Dave in Pfizer. He was a true gentleman, always so friendly, kind and supportive. He always had time for a chat and a laugh and offer great words of advice.

He spoke so fondly of all his family and told many loving stories of all his children. He was immensely proud of you all. Thinking of you all at this difficult time.

Dave, May you rest in peace

To Martina, Brian, Mairead, Niamh, Luke and Jack.
Deepest condolences on the passing of your loving husband and father. We are all very sorry to hear the sad and sudden news of his death. May David rest peacefully now. You will remain in our thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks and months.

Dear Martina, Brian, Mairéad, Niamh, Jack, and Luke,

I’m so very sorry for your loss. I work in the Tax department in Oracle and had the pleasure of working with Dave over the years. Dave was so approachable and supportive for everyone on our team, and just made our day to day interactions interesting and fun. I remember bumping into Dave on the corridor one day and we chatted about his tax exams. By the time I was back at my desk Dave had already emailed me his “favourite tax quote”, complete with full and appropriate citations. Only Dave could have a favourite tax quote, so I thought I would share it for him: “Beyond the everyday world...lies the world of VAT, a kind of fiscal theme park in which factual and legal realities are suspended or inverted...a complex universe [in which] relatively uncomplicated solutions are a snare and a delusion.” I wish you every strength through these difficult times as your own reality has been both suspended and inverted.

Sincere condolences to all of David's family at this very sad time. May he Rest in Peace.

Mary (Pfizer colleague)

Sincere condolences to you all on the loss of David. He will be sorely missed by all his colleagues in Oracle.

My deepest sympathies to the Scanlan family on the sudden passing of David.

He was a gentleman and always so friendly and full of chat.

near to you all from far away

Our heartfelt sympathy and sincere condolances to Martina and family, to Mary and to all the Scanlan and Ó Shea families on the very sad death of David. May he be rewarded for all his good works and enjoy eternal peace. Be assured of our prayers.

My deepest sympathies to the Scanlan family on the very sudden passing of Dave.
Dave was always a very positive and engaging person, with a kind word for everyone. He was very proud of his family and always had lovely stories to tell about all their achievements.
He will be sorely missed in Oracle. May he rest in peace.

Dear Martina, we were shocked to learn of Dave's passing.Please accept our heartfelt sympathies at this most difficult time. Just know that you and your family are in our prayers. Both our families grew up together, and we warmly remember the visits to your home and the craic and the laughter we both enjoyed. Dave was an extraordinary man, he was always a joy to meet.

Our deepest sympathies to you Martina & your Family at this very sad and difficult time of huge loss and heartbreaking grief on the sudden death of your beloved David. Our sympathies to your Mother Mary here in Killorglin also, and to The extended Scanlan & O' Shea families. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Our deepest condolences to Martina & family. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time. May David rest in peace.

Martina, Brian, Mairéad, Niamh, Jack, and Luke, I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss.

I worked with Dave for the past 5 years in Oracle, he was genuinely one of the nicest, most positive and engaging people I've ever met, a true gent. He was incredibly hard working, always so helpful, and mindful of including everyone. I work in tax, but worked on all of the countries that he managed so got to know him quite well over the years. As some other people have said, I feel like I know you all already, as he spoke so frequently of you all, the milestones in your life, and how proud he clearly was of you all. I know he would be so incredibly proud of how well you all spoke at the service today.

I spoke to Dave a lot over the past few years about his CTA exams, whether it was to talk through some tax topic that he wanted to understand in more detail, or some assignment that he wanted to talk through, Dave's inquisitive mind, and desire to understand and get to the bottom of everything never waned. I was so delighted for him when he passed his final exams last year.

I don't know if you know but he had a standard message he included on his out of office notification when on leave - "Never harbour resentment. It rots only the container in which it is held" This embodies Dave, and his whole outlook to life. I know you have incredibly tough days ahead in the days, weeks and months to come, but hopefully his positive outlook may give you some strength in the days ahead.

RIP

My deepest and heartfelt condolences to Martina, Brian, Mairéad, Niamh, Jack, Luke and extended family and friends.

To say I am shocked at David's untimely and sudden passing is an understatement. I am so grateful to have known and worked with Dave. He was a true gentleman, had an exceptional questioning mind but most importantly, he was so kind. He was always available to help you in anyway possible and offered advice both on a professional and personal level (being a fellow twin parent).
He was immensely proud of his children, and that would have been prominent today with the beautiful send off you gave him. I hope that gives you strenght in the dark days to come.

Dave, I am so glad to have known you and been in your presence. You will be sorely missed. Rest in peace.

Devastated to hear the news of Dave’s passing. Sincere condolences to Martina, his family and many, many friends.

Dave’s insightfulness, charisma and humour could hold a room like nobody else. From this morning’s ceremony it sounds like he has given that gift to his children. No matter how long the story lasted every word was special and will live long in the memory.

Dave, it was a privilege to know you and even more of a privilege to call you my friend. You will be hugely missed by all.

Our sincere sympathies on the passing of your dear husband Martina, dear father Luke, Jack, Brian, Mairéad and Niamh and all the extended Scanlan and O'Shea Families.

We met Dave cheering on and supporting from the sidelines. He was the biggest supporter of all his children indeed on and off the playing pitch as in every simple conversation he would drop one of his children's name and of course his dearest Martina.

We attended a feile up in Omagh many years ago and had some craic with Dave over the many cuppa at the club.... from there on he was know by us affectionately as " Robert Redford" .

We are so sorry for his untimely passing and each of you will be very much in our taughts at this very sad time and difficult time.

May Dave Rest in Peace.

Our sincere sympathy to Martina, her children, all the Scanlon family and the O Shea family on the sudden passing of David. May he rest in peace.

My sincerest condolences Martina and family. I was saddened to hear about your loss. Thinking of you all during this difficult time.RIP David

Sincere condolences Martina and family. So sorry I could not be with you on this sad day. My heart goes out to you all. RIP David

Very sorry for Dave's passing. Having worked with Dave for many years I knew him to be a very nice, genuine guy who would help whereever he could. The ceremony showed who he was and the lovely family that he was part off, may Dave rest in peace. Brian B

My deepest sympathies to the Scanlan family at this really hard times!
I used to work with David in Oracle and I will always remember him as a fella so friendly, happy and wise! I will never forget our chats when we had lunches together!
May you rest in peace David!
You will be missed dearly!

I worked with David in Siemens many years ago and he was always kind patient and eager to help all , he will be missed greatly and always remembered as a gentleman RIP David

My deepest sympathies to the Scanlan family at this really sad and difficult time, the shock and hurt of losing someone so suddenly is really not easy.

Dave was a huge presence at Oracle, an absolute gent of a man, who was so inclusive of everyone, dedicated to his work and always up for some craic, he will be sorely missed. RIP Dave

One of the good guys has left us early, hard to imagine you would be the one. Charming, engaging, enthusiastic, a raconteur . God Speed David , “Scanno”from a St Benildus school pal. It will be unusual without you.

We have all been so shocked to hear of David's death. Our sincerest condolences to the Scanlan family on the loss of a good man and a good neighbour to us. David and the whole family gave us a warm welcome when we first moved to Slieve Rua and in the years after John died, David often helped out in his warm and friendly way. May he rest in peace.

Martina, Brian, Mairéad, Niamh, Jack, Luke, and Dave’s extended family, I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Dave.

I worked with Dave for the last year in Oracle and even though it was for a short time and I wish it was for longer, I will never forget him and I will miss him dearly. He wasn’t just a brilliant manager who always had time to help you but also a great friend who lifted you up and always made you smile and laugh. Dave would tell me so much about all of his family and he would be so happy to be spending time at home or trips away with them, our team would always get sent holiday photos when he was on annual leave and it was so lovely. It won’t be the same without him and I’m so grateful that I got to work with him and everything I learnt from him I will take with me.
Thinking of you all at this difficult time.

Dave, may you rest in peace

Deepest sympathy to Martina & children also to your Mum Mary & extended O Shea Family on the sad passing of David, May his gentle soul rest in peace

It is so sad that David is not with us. He was such a lovely person and family man. He was my manager in Oracle and it was pleasure to know him and work with him.
Deepest sympathy to family.

To Martina and family, shocked and saddened to hear of David’s untimely passing. Many fond memories of times we spent together working in Nixdorf. May David rest in peace.

May you rest in peace Dave.

Deepest sympathies to Martina, Brian, Mairéad, Niamh, Jack, and Luke, and to Dave’s extended family on his sudden and untimely passing.

I had the privilege of working with Dave in Oracle over the past couple of years. On my occasional visits to the Oracle Dublin office, Dave would be one of the first people I would seek out. He would always extend his two arms to greet and welcome me. I felt a special connection with Dave being from Killorglin also. He was a true gentleman, kind, considerate, helpful and I enjoyed every minute when I was in his company. I miss him dearly.

Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dilis

To all of Davids family, I wish to extend my deepest sympathies.
We have all been dislocated due to the craziness of the last two years so I had regrettably not seen David in quite a while. However, I have fond memories of having banter with David over a sandwich in the office - He was alway so engaging and open.
I expect you will have very many teasured memories of David - I wish you all well.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
Peter Rowley..

Wishing you all strength at this very difficult time.

I was so saddened to hear about the passing of David. My sincere condolences to Martina and all of the family. I am so grateful that I got the opportunity to know him through work in Oracle. He truly was a great man- thoughtful, considerate, always positive, humorous and cheerful, he had time for everyone, and clearly cared deeply about his family. We played chess together quite a bit which I always greatly enjoyed, but I never got to beat him! I could have played him another 100 games and still don't think I would have got near!

Rest in peace David

Deepest sympathy to the Scanlan family at this very sad time. He was a gentleman and always so friendly to everyone in the office. May he rest in peace.

My sincere condolences to the family. Still in shock from his sad passing. He was not only a coworker, but a friend. I’m grateful I had the chance to know him and I have so much to thank David. He brought me to Oracle and made me feel like home, always with a smile, positive, kind and generous. Best person no one can imagine. I am so fortunate to have met him and worked with him, I will never forget his kind spirit. I can´t describe the good memories I have, even 5 years after I came back to Spain. Thank you David, rest in peace.
May David forever live on in our hearts.

Blanca

I am so sorry to hear that David is not with us any more. He was really kid and open person. I worked with him few years and he was my source of information about Ireland and Dublin (schools, health system, food and .......).
Thank you David for being David and welcoming me in Ireland.

My deepest condolences to Martina, Brian, Mairéad, Niamh, Jack, Luke and the rest of the Family.

Deepest sympathies to Brian and family on your sad loss. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h'anam dílis.

Deepest sympathies to Martina, Brian, Mairead, Niamh, Luke, Jack and the extended Scanlan Family on David's sudden and untimely passing.

I had the privilege of working closely with David for over 6 years at Oracle. I feel like I know you all because David used to tell me all about many Scanlan family milestones and his love for you all and his pride in you all was always so clear. He was a great colleague to work with and a true friend and and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him or came into contact with him. I will in particular miss his humour and positivity and enthusiasm for life.

May his kind and gentle soul rest in peace.

Still finding it hard to believe that David is no longer with us, I am still shocked by his untimely passing. I worked with Dave for many years at Oracle and enjoyed many laughs with him. He always had a great story to share and was never short of an inspiring quote. He was so genuine, friendly, kind and caring. He had time for everyone. He was so very proud of his family, they came into every conversation. I met Dave last week in the office for the first in over two years – it was so lovely to see him and he had the heartiest welcome-back for me, a very fond memory to have. He was a perfect gentleman and the world is definitely a sadder place without him.

My sincerest condolences to his wife Martina and all his family.

Dave, may you Rest In Peace.

Sincere sympathy to the Scanlan family on the sudden passing of Dave. I had the pleasure of working with Dave over the past few years in Oracle. He was a true gentleman, an absolute character and will be sorely missed by us all. Thinking of you all during this difficult time. May he rest in peace.
