Heartfelt condolences to Des's family on his passing.
He was my Recruit Platoon Sargeant when l joined F.C.A, 'A' Coy 20th Infantry Battalion, in 1970. Des was one of nature's gentlemen and led by example.

Life is changed not ended.

Ar dheis láimh Dé go raibh a anam dílis

Des was an ego-free, wise, insightful and gentle man who contributed hugely to Na Fianna in so many ways. The last time I met Des was on the bus before his recent illness and we sat and talked about his beloved Mary and he inquired about my son, Fionn. That was Des, always keeping an eye out for others.

Sincere condolences to all the late Des's family and friends on their great loss .To share also in the many deserved tributes to the late late Des on all his contributions .May Des now rest in peace RIP

Sincere condolences to Tiarnán, Fiona and Eimear on the passing of your dad Des. A lovely man, I always enjoyed our chats. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. May he rest in peace.

I had the great pleasure of getting to know Des as a family friend and as a leader of our community. He gave so much of himself for the good of others, shared his values with deeds and soft words, not angry tones, and contributed with no expectation of return. More than all that, he loved Mary and his family, and through them, he celebrated his language, his sport, his community, and his country. In 2013, we walked into Croke Park together by chance, to supoort Kickhams, I said you're very good to come Des, he said ahh you'd have to support a neighbour, but I'm definitely not wearing colours!, he smiled. I was delighted to repay the favour just a few weeks ago, and we both laughed about it. I am so sad to see him gone. My thoughts are with Tiernan Fiona and Eimear. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam uasal

Sincere condolences to Tiarnan, Fiona and Eimear on the very sad loss of your loving dad Des, a true gentleman who was a very kind and loyal friend to so many people. I had many great chats with your dad and our two sons have great memories of him as a manager and mentor for his calm presence at matches and respect for his players and bringing the best from them, with the Under 10 hurlers in 2000, and the minor football team of 2011 that won the final.
Rest in peace Des, reunited with your beloved wife Mary, and forever in all our thoughts.

Called by God may you rest in peace

Fiona, Eimear, Tiarnàn and all the family, I am so sorry for your loss. Des was a great man and we had many a great conversation about everything and nothing. I particularly liked his text after the NaF All Ireland win, asking me why I hadn't congratulated him yet on the win! That made me laugh! He loved you all so much. He was a great man who treated people with respect. Ní bheidh a leithéad ann arís. Tabhair aire,
