Donnacha Fox

Norma and Julia Mae, we are so very sorry to hear of your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May Donnacha rest in peace.

My sincere condolences to the Fox Family on the passing of their beloved Donnacha. I had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know this proud Dad when his wonderful daughter started in my choir a few years ago. Donnacha, you will be sadly missed within the walls of the Academy.

Norma and Julia Mae, you are in my thoughts at this heartbreaking time.

Rest in peace Donnacha

My condolences to all of Donnacha's family and friends. I only knew him through e-mail correspondence as an accountant dealing with client matters but he impressed me with his attention to detail, his willingness to help even when he had already provided the information sought and his total professionalism. May he rest in peace.

Just learned this morning that Donnacha had passed away.
I am shocked and deeply saddened at this awful news.
Donnacha was one of the best at his job and he didn’t mind telling you.
Deepest sympathy to his wife and daughter who he often spoke of.
Rest in peace Donnacha.

I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn of Donnacha’s sudden death. I was a very grateful client of Donnacha’s and will miss our friendly communiques not to mention his expertise.
My heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to his loving wife and daughter, the extended family and friends . What a tragic loss, the world has lost a very good man . RIP Donnacha and thank you for being you. Claire

Heartfelt condolences to Donnacha’s wife, Norma, daughter Julia Mae, sisters and brothers on the unexpected passing of your beloved Donnacha.
The requiem mass was a wonderful tribute to a unique and exceptional person and the homily & eulogy captured the very essence of the outstanding person he was in all aspects of his life.
I have only known Donnacha over the last couple of years, I was introduced to him by Tom Walsh and became a client of his.

He was not only a beacon of excellence in his professionalism going above and beyond the call of duty but also an altruistic person leaving a legacy of integrity, compassion, kindness and authenticity…
His deep love and bond of his family was evident and worn with pride as he mentioned his daughter and wife, I recall his beautiful words “my daughter is a sweetheart, just like her mother”
Truly, words are inadequate to touch the depth of pain and sadness at this difficult time. You will find solace in the mystical utterings of your faith, treasured memories and the knowledge that love never dies. I have no doubt Donnacha will find you in moments of serendipity when you least expect it.

I am deeply sorry to hear about Donnacha's passing. I had the privilege of working with him two decades ago at Davy Stockbrokers, though I haven’t spoken to him since 2003. As a young man starting out in the industry, I remember Donnacha fondly and with great respect. He was a kind man with a wonderful sense of humor, and his professionalism served as a powerful example to me. Some of the personal advice he shared about navigating the industry has stayed with me to this day, and I continue to reflect on it. He was a truly good man, and he will be greatly missed.

I am very sorry to hear about your loss.
I used to get the bus to UCD with Donnacha, and I remember walking all the way home from Belfield with him once when it snowed.
Wishing you my heartfelt condolences

Sincere condolences to Norma, Julia -Mae, Nora, Denis and to the extended Fox and Kelleher families on your very sad loss. May Donnacha Rest in Peace.

I am numb and shocked on hearing the sad news
I have known Donnacha since the early 1990’s and he had become a great and trusted friend.

Such a kind Christian gentleman of the highest integrity and very unassuming.
He was an exceptional human being and so respectful to everyone.
He gave 100% to everything and everyone and never spared himself.
So Loyal and Committed and loved his family so much.
He was one person you could totally rely on always and scrupulously honest and upfront.
So ordinary and smart who could relate to everyone.
Shocked is an understatement.
He is Irreplaceable and a great loss.

May his gentle soul rest in eternal peace.

The world is a lesser place with the passing of Donnacha. A true gentleman, a loyal friend and a brilliant investment manager. It has been a pleasure to have known him over so many years. I cannot thank him enough for his wise advice and his friendship to me and to our family. To his adored and very beloved daughter Julia Mae, his wife Norma, his Godmother Carmel and his extended and very close knit family, my deepest and most sincere sympathy. As dheis De go raibh a anam dilis.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam

Summing up a man like Donnacha in one message is a difficult task. As a colleague he was fiercely intelligent but was able to express his ideas in such an eloquent way that both experts and those with a casual interest could understand. He was also a man with a real love for people, who was genuinely interested in those around him and took great interest in catching up with colleagues and friends and in bestowing some truly excellent nicknames. He was always enormously proud of the achievements of his siblings. In more recent years we saw a new softness as he took to his new role as a Dad. His eyes shone with love and pride when he spoke about his beloved daughter Julia Mae, he loved any excuse to talk about the time they spent together and was the ultimate ‘girl Dad’. I hope his family and friends alike find some comfort in how loved he was and in some of the stories of adventures undertaken in the course of his daily life. Rest well Donnacha

My sincerest condolences to Norma and Julia and wider families on the loss of Donnacha. May he rest in peace.

Sympathy to Donnacha's Wife, Daughter, extended family and work colleagues in Quilter Cheviot. A true professional in every way. RIP Donnacha.

My most sincere condolences to Norma, Julia and all the Fox family on the sudden sad passing of Donnacha, I will miss you in Donnybrook and the IRFU. Above all Donnacha loved every member of his family, Words cannot covey the deepest love he had for every member of his family. I will miss you oldest friend. Until we meet again, John.

We met Donnacha through his very close friend Éamonn. We were deeply saddened to hear that he had passed away so suddenly. He was a gem, full of fun, and we know that his family and all his friends will find it so difficult, as they journey through the sadness of losing such a lovely guy. Our sincere condolences. May his gentle soul Rest in Peace.

Donnacha was my advisor in Quilter and we met and spoke many times. I had daughters in Loreto so that was another connection. He was a thoroughly decent man and it is shocking to learn of his sudden and premature death.

Sincere condolences to the Fox family on the sudden death of Donnacha.RIP.

I was very sorry to hear of Donnacha's passing which I only heard today.

I worked with him during the middle part of 2024 in a professional capacity as a client of a company I work for and we had many interactions and calls. I found Donnacha an exceptionally polite man and we built up a good relationship.

Condolences to his family, his colleagues who I also worked with, and his wider friends.

RIP

Deepest condolences Sarah to you and your family on the loss of Donnacha, may he Rest in Peace

Donnacha, my man, you were one in a million. I will miss your wit and storytelling but most of all I will miss your friendship. You had many a wise word but telling me that time was my biggest asset has never seemed so relevant and will stay with me forever. I can’t believe you are gone but I know you would want us all to remember the good times you brought everywhere you went and that wallowing in pity, as you would quote your beloved mother, won’t butter the parsnips.

My sincere condolences to the entire family, especially to Donnacha’s pride and joy Julia Mae.

Rest in peace Donnacha, until we meet again.

Sincere condolences to Gabriel, Ciaran, Catherine, Diarmuid, Sarah, Grainne, Julia Mae and Norma on the very sad and sudden passing of Donnacha.

We are still in shock at this very sad news.

Donnacha was a close friend and we had some great times together.

His wit and wisdom were a rare combination and I will miss the laughter and lively debates we had over the past 25 years.

Rest In Peace dear Donnacha.

We will see you down the road.

My sincere condolences to Norma, Julia Mae, Nora, Denis and all the Kelleher and Fox families on Donnacha’s sad and untimely passing. Thinking of you all at this difficult time.

I join with the hundreds of others mourning the shocking loss of Donnacha. Having first met him in the 1980’s through his great friend Kevin Conroy, I’m grateful for the many shared adventures over the past decades.

Every meeting with Donnacha left you uplifted, a little more knowledgeable about the world, and eager for the next encounter. Whilst he was a raconteur without equal it was his curiosity about everything and everyone that ensured there was never a dull moment in his company. Add in his warm sense of humour, compassion, eloquence, authenticity, the sharpest of wits and a pinch of divilment and mighty occasions would ensue…

Sincere condolences to his family, especially Julie Mae who he was always thrilled to talk about whenever we met, and all his many friends who share the grief of his loss.

He was one of a kind, and kind to everyone.
